Denver Broncos
· 2026-07-04
The Denver Broncos have 23 players scheduled to become unrestricted free agents in 2027, including four crucial starters who could receive contract extensions.
The team's general manager, George Paton, has given long-term contract extensions to 11 key players since 2024.
The Broncos are currently standing 14th in the National Football Conference with a 5-12 record, on a W1 streak.
CB Riley Moss is entering the final year of his rookie contract and could be a trade candidate if the Broncos do not plan to re-sign him in 2027.
WR Marvin Mims is a two-time All-Pro and two-time Pro Bowler as a returner, and the Broncos should attempt to re-sign him.
The team's vision for Jahdae Barron could be a factor in whether CB Ja'Quan McMillian receives a multi-year extension.
S Brandon Jones, 28, still has plenty of gas left in the tank, but he's entering the final season of the three-year deal he signed with the Broncos in 2024.
The Broncos' next game is vs Kansas City Chiefs on 2026-09-15.
And the team will look to build on their current standing with a strong performance.
But the contract extensions will be key to the team's success in the long term.
So the Broncos will need to make some tough decisions about which players to extend.
The team's offense has been led by players like Marvin Mims, who quietly totaled 1,510 all-purpose yards last season.
The defense has also been strong, with players like Riley Moss and Ja'Quan McMillian making key contributions.
The Broncos will look to continue their success with a strong draft and savvy free agent signings.
