Overview
- Bleacher Report’s Alex Kay urged Denver to avoid a multi-year extension for wide receiver and return specialist Marvin Mims Jr., recommending the team let his rookie contract run out.
- Former Broncos receiver Bennie Fowler told the DNVR podcast that Mims should not expect an extension in Denver because the team already commits top money to its leading wideouts.
- Denver’s trade for Jaylen Waddle reshaped the depth chart, which, with Courtland Sutton and emerging targets like Troy Franklin and Pat Bryant, points to a smaller offensive role for Mims.
- Mims has been elite on special teams with two Pro Bowls and a 2024 All-Pro nod, while his receiving totals peaked at 503 yards in 2024 before falling to 322 yards in 2025.
- Counterarguments in Yahoo Sports and The Sporting News highlight his age at 24, postseason deep plays, and a projected three-year, $19.4 million price tag, noting market context after Rashid Shaheed’s richer three-year, $51 million deal.
