Riley Moss Says He Will Focus on 2026 Season, Not an Extension

His play this contract year will help decide whether the Broncos keep him or he reaches unrestricted free agency next spring.

Overview

  • Moss told reporters Thursday that he is not thinking beyond his final rookie season and that he will let the future “handle itself.”
  • He enters Year 4 after a strong 2025 that included a league-high 19 passes defensed and 116 targets in coverage while recording one interception.
  • Coaching staff and fans will watch whether Moss fixes two clear issues from 2025: allowing deep passes (21 downfield catches allowed) and low turnover production.
  • Moss faces real competition for snaps from Ja'Quan McMillian and 2025 first-round pick Jahdae Barron as contract situations for Moss and McMillian both expire after 2026.
  • Moss’s role has been shaped by playing opposite Patrick Surtain II, whose presence funnels extra targets to him and gives Moss a chance to raise his market value with a strong season.
