The Denver Broncos have traded star wide receiver Demaryius Thomas to the Houston Texans.
Broncos president John Elway confirmed the trade to 9News in Denver, saying the deal "was best for both sides."
The Broncos acquired a fourth-round draft pick and a seventh-round pick from the Texans, who also received a seventh-round pick, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Thomas is second on the Broncos in receptions (36) and receiving yards (402) and tied for the team lead in receiving touchdowns (three) this season. But his hefty salary-cap figure for 2019 -- $17.533 million in what is the last year of his deal -- and the emergence of rookie Courtland Sutton as a big-play threat had raised the possibility of Thomas being shipped elsewhere.
The Texans have a need at wide receiver after Will Fuller was lost for the season with a torn ACL in his right knee, suffered during the team's win over the Dolphins last Thursday.
The Texans play the Broncos this Sunday in Denver.
Thomas, 30, has the second-most receiving yards (9,055) and touchdown catches (60) in Broncos history, trailing Rod Smith in both categories.
