Julius Thomas's agent feels that people are pushing his client away from the Denver Broncos as he nears the end of his contract with the club.

The agent of Julius Thomas believes that people are pushing the tight end away from the Denver Broncos.

The 26-year-old will be a free agent when the league year officially ends in March and has yet to come to an agreement with the Broncos regarding a new long-term deal.

Thomas's agent has revealed that his client's future is unlikely to be in Denver after talks broke down, and they are unlikely to resume until he hits the free-agent market.

"The Broncos came to me, we tried to get it done, it didn't work," Frank Bauer told reporters.

"Does Julius love Denver? Yes. Does Julius love the fans there? No question. Does he love the organisation and the community? Look at what he does for kids in that town.

"But for some reason people are trying to tear him down. In my opinion what they're doing by tearing him down is pushing him away."

Thomas recorded 43 receptions for 489 yards and 12 touchdowns in the 2014 season.
