Overview
- Denver Gazette reporter Chris Tomasson reported on March 5 that sources do not expect the Broncos to re-sign John Franklin-Myers, with no contract talks underway.
- If Franklin-Myers departs, the Broncos are projected to receive a 2027 compensatory pick—potentially in the third- or fourth-round range—per 9News’ Mike Klis.
- Franklin-Myers acknowledged his future is uncertain, telling The Insiders on March 4 that he is a Bronco “for now” and will see what happens when the tampering period opens.
- The 29-year-old posted 14.5 sacks over two seasons in Denver (33 games, 31 starts), and his market value is pegged around $7.9 million annually by Spotrac, with some analysts suggesting it could climb higher.
- ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that eight-time Pro Bowler Cameron Jordan will hit free agency, and his connection to coach Sean Payton has made him a frequently mentioned replacement candidate, with Spotrac estimating a one-year deal around $6.7 million.
