Broncos' defensive line could be shaken up in 2026
Broncos' defensive line could be shaken up in 2026 Barring several contract extensions, the Denver Broncos' impressive defensive line rotation could look very different in 2026. It's no surprise that Denver used a third-round pick to select Sai'vion Jones in this year's NFL draft because three of the team's defensive linemen are scheduled to become free agents in 2026. The Broncos would probably like to bring them all back, but the salary cap might make that impractical. Denver's two starting defensive ends -- Zach Allen and John Franklin-Myers -- are both set to hit free agency in 2026, as is key rotational lineman Malcolm Roach. Allen is probably the team's first priority for a contract extension, but if he gets $25 million per season, it might be hard to also bring back JFM. Roach could be easier to retain because his market rate is lower. If the Broncos end up letting JFM walk next year, Jones could be an ideal candidate to replace him in the starting lineup. And if Denver somehow manages to bring everyone back, defensive coordinator Vance Joseph will be overjoyed to retain an extremely deep rotation. Whatever happens, we'll follow all the decisions on Broncos Wire. Related: These 25 celebrities are Broncos fans.

John Franklin-Myers hints he wants a new contract from Broncos
John Franklin-Myers has made it no secret that he wants a contract extension from the Denver Broncos sooner rather than later. When DNVR's Zac Stevens tweeted a reminder to not forget about a potential upcoming extension for pass rusher Nik Bonitto, Franklin-Myers replied, "Or JFM." Franklin-Myers also retweeted this message from JJ Watt: "Reward your players earlier and reap the benefits in the long run. Dragging it out not only ends up costing more, it creates unnecessary tension. The longer you wait, the higher the price." A few days later, Joey Richards of the "Let's Talk Broncos" podcast tweeted that Broncos general manager George Paton has rewarded deserving players with extensions during his tenure in Denver. JFM replied: "….." Franklin-Myers also caused a stir in Broncos Country when he tweeted: "Still counted out.." Franklin-Myers still has one year and $8 million left on his current contract, but it's clear that he wants an extension to give him more security -- and a raise. He retweeted this fan calling for Denver to rework his contract: JFM outplayed his deal. Was unappreciated in NY. Let's not make that same mistake. Lets look to rework his deal. — Jason Whittaker (@jwhittaker86) March 10, 2025 Now that the initial wave of free agency has wrapped up, the Broncos might soon begin working on in-house extensions. In addition to JFM, other players in line for extensions include Bonitto, defensive lineman Zach Allen and wide receiver Courtland Sutton. Extension talks with Bonitto are expected to begin at $23 million per season. Allen is believed to be seeking $25 million per year. Sutton made $15.2 million last season. JFM's estimated market value is about $8.5 million per year, according to After getting deals done with offensive tackle Garett Bolles, guard Quinn Meinerz, pass rusher Jonathon Cooper and cornerback Pat Surtain last year, a few more big extensions could be on deck in the coming months.

Denver Broncos: John Franklin-Myers tweet has fans worried
Denver Broncos: John Franklin-Myers tweet has fans worried With the NFL's free agency negotiating window wide open, the Denver Broncos have been busy retaining in-house players while also seeking outside help. One of the team's notable in-house players is defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers, who still has one year left on his contract but has made it clear he wants an extension. JFM recently retweeted a post from former NFL defender J.J. Watt that read: "Reward your players earlier and reap the benefits in the long run. Dragging it out not only ends up costing more, it creates unnecessary tension. The longer you wait, the higher the price." Today, JFM tweeted: "Still counted out.." (We would embed the tweet here, but Twitter/X has had a lot of outages today and embedded tweets aren't functioning at the time of publication.) That tweet led to a flurry of worried reactions from Broncos fans (which we can't embed) along with assurances from fans that the team will get an extension done in time. Franklin-Myers is scheduled to earn about $8 million this season before becoming a free agent in 2026. His projected market value is about $8.5 million, according to Denver will likely want to eventually extend JFM, but other moves seem to be more pressing at the moment.
