Over the years, the Denver Broncos have been fairly active around the trade deadline.
This year was no different. They dealt edge rusher Bradley Chubb to the Miami Dolphins.
This continues a pattern of the Broncos trading a solid player to a team that is trying to contend for a Super Bowl. It has worked out for those teams in a big, big way.
If the Dolphins do win the Super Bowl, that would make it three players in four years that have gone from the Broncos to the Super Bowl champion at the deadline.
Clearly, the talent that Denver ships off seems to blossom on other teams as well. For the Broncos, it is really just unfortunate for them. They aren't at fault, but its unlucky.
The organization is probably happy for their former stars, but seeing them win a championship rather than them certainly does rub salt in the wound.
Hopefully, the Broncos can become buyers once again at the deadline in coming years.
That was made especially difficult this year due to the Russell Wilson trade and the team's slow start. It will be interesting to see how the next handful of deadlines play out.
This trend probably won't continue. It's been quite the unique twist for the Broncos at the deadline over the last handful of years, though.
