Broncos Trade Ryan Clady to the Jets

The Broncos traded LT Ryan Clady to the Jets along with a 7th round pick. The Jets sent the Broncos a 5th round pick. The move to trade Clady was expected because the Broncos signed Russell Okung a few weeks ago. Clady became expendable because he has a high salary for next year and he has been hurt for two of the last three years. He missed 14 games in 2013 and he missed all 16 games in 2015. Clady was drafted by the Broncos in 2008, and he was a mainstay on the offensive line all these years, but the injuries started to pile up and he was expendable as a result.
