Unfortunately, judging from how he describes the Broncos in another tweet, it appears that Gurley might have been referring to the Denver Nuggets.
he was talking about the nuggets y'all. THE DREAM IS DEAD https://t.co/4EhZX6n1Xy

Gurley, 25, is a three-time Pro Bowler who has rushed for 5,404 yards and 58 touchdowns in his career. He has also totaled 2,090 receiving yards and has caught 12 touchdown passes with the Rams.
The Broncos are believed to be in the market for a running back to complement Phillip Lindsay so there is a possibility that Denver might kick the tires on Gurley. The Broncos had preliminary interest in David Johnson before he was traded to the Texans, which might be a sign that the team is willing to spend on a big-name running back.
