Haven’t we all gotten past the whole Richie Incognito-Jonathan Martin thing where teammates bash on each other, where Richie called Jon a “faggot” and said other derogatory things to his teammate? Rich needs a job. Jon has a job with the 49ers. Time heals wounds, right?
That has to be the reason the Denver Broncos brought in Rich for a workout on Monday and are considering signing Meatball to protect the GOAT. Jay Glazer reports that Rich has been working out in Arizona just waiting for a team to call. “The Broncos coaches are already very familiar with Incognito from coaching him in the Pro Bowl a couple of years ago,” Glazer wrote today.
So let’s see what Richie has been up to in Arizona. Ooooooh…just double fisting Coors (at an Arizona State tailgate over Halloween weekend) like the old Rich we know and love. The guy obviously hasn’t changed his off-the-field regimen of having some fun and keeping a smile on his face. This time off, besides missing out on cash, might not be the worst thing for #68. He’s a rested 31 and can sign with a team looking for a final piece to make a deep playoff run.
Like…Denver.
He’s been working out, drinking some beer, relaxing his body, isn’t taking shots to his ankles. This is practically a no-brainer for Elway. You need the help, Rich is there and obviously Peyton is comfortable with the guy or it would’ve never gotten to the visit stage.
