Agent provides positive update on Broncos DL John Franklin-Myers
There's good news on the John Franklin-Myers front.
After the veteran defensive lineman did not report to the first week of (voluntary) Denver Broncos organized team activities, it seemed reasonable to assume JFM was not happy with his contract situation.

Not so fast, says his agent, Cliff Brady.
"JFM hasn't been to OTAs for a few years now," Brady wrote to KUSA-TV's Mike Klis. "No contract issues. He'll be there for mini-camp."
JFM is entering the final year of his contract -- and he wants an extension -- but the lineman plans to report for mandatory minicamp next month.
It should perhaps be no surprise that JFM did not attend the first round of voluntary OTAs after the Denver Gazette's Chris Tomasson reported earlier this month that JFM was focusing on training with pass-rush specialist BT Jordan in Dallas. Tomasson tweeted back on May 3 that JFM would attend mandatory minicamp.

Jordan, meanwhile, was at Thursday's practice:
Broncos coach Sean Payton brushed off JFM's absence on Thursday, noting that the session is voluntary before adding that Franklin-Myers has "had a good offseason."
So, no cause for concern on the John Franklin-Myers front.
