For the first time ever in his 10 years in the NFL, Charles is playing in a new city that might not even be his to call home once September rolls around.
The Broncos are holding several competitions, including one for starting running back in 2017. Charles, who is 30 and was not healthy enough to participate in minicamp team activities, will compete with incumbent C.J. Anderson and Devontae Booker this summer.
In fact, Charles has only about a 50/50 chance to make the Broncos final roster based on a recent report. The Broncos’ deal with Charles included zero money guaranteed, so they are not out a penny if they decide to cut him this summer.
Talk about pressure. Hopefully, the four-time Pro Bowl running back can regain full health in the weeks leading up to camp. If not, his illustrious career might just over.
