Broncos Get Good News on $15 Million Veteran Trade Addition

   

The Denver Broncos are back on the practice field, but they are not at 100% participation, because defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers has not been in attendance, notably as he enters the final year of his two-year, $15 million contract.

However, Franklin-Myers’ agent cleared the air that the former New York Jets defensive lineman is not holding out.

Moreover, Franklin-Myers’ absence was planned, and it is for training purposes.

“JFM hasn’t been to OTAs for a few years now. No contract issues. He’ll be there for mini-camp,” Franklin-Myers’ agent, Cliff Brady of Capital Sports Advisors, said, per 9News’ Mike Klis in comments shared on May 29. “He’s currently working his ass off to have the best season of his career.”

Franklin-Myers helped the Broncos lead the league with a franchise-record 63 sacks during the 2024 regular season.

The Broncos acquired Franlin-Myers during the 2024 draft in a trade with the Jets.
