Just as Danny Trevathan left for Chicago, Omar Bolden will be joining John Fox and the Bears, too.
Omar Bolden has deal with Bears.. One-year, $760K… He's the ultimate pro. Wish him nothing but the best. #Broncos

Bolden was drafted in the fourth round of the 2012 draft by the Broncos, but never really made much of an impact defensively in Denver, accumulating just 41 total tackles in four seasons. Bolden did, though, develop into a special teams ace, both as a returner and gunner. That’s where he will be missed most.
While a $760 thousand paycheck isn’t exactly expensive, the Broncos are in a financial holding pattern at the moment, at least until the quarterback situation gets a little clearer.
Good luck, Omar!
