Denver QB Kelly arrested: trespassing
Denver backup quarterback Chad Kelly was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of criminal trespass after a couple reported he came into their suburban house uninvited and sat down on their couch “mumbling incoherently,” according to court records.
General manager John Elway said the team was “very, very disappointed in Chad and the situation he put himself into” and suggested the Broncos were pondering Kelly’s future with the club.
Kelly, the nephew of Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly, attended a Halloween costume party hosted by Von Miller on Monday night that has long been a tradition for the Broncos’ players and their significant others. The Broncos were trying to figure out what happened after Kelly left the party.
“We are in the process of getting all the facts and talking to Chad, and then we’ll figure out exactly which direction we’re going to go,” Elway said on his weekly radio show. “When the team has a gettogether, (it) is always a good thing. You like when they get together and the camaraderie that goes along with being a team. But when you have one person that kind of puts a dent in the whole process, it’s very disappointing.”
Kelly, 24, posted $2,500 bond Tuesday and was released. He’s due back in court Wednesday. Giants trade Apple to Saints: The Giants sent cornerback Eli Apple, the 10th pick overall in the 2016 draft, to New Orleans for a fourthround pick in 2019 and a seventh-rounder in 2020.
The move marks the second time in a week the Giants (1-6) have parted ways with a recent first-round draft pick. Last week, they waived tackle Ereck Flowers, their 2015 top pick. He was signed by Jacksonville. It also could be a sign the Giants, who were 3-13 last season, might deal more assets with the NFL trade deadline set for Tuesday.
