The Broncos will have to earmark some of the Wilson money to upgrade the offense, especially adding another pass catcher to the mix, ideally the No. 1 target. 1 that can make life easier for Bo Nix — these players don’t just fall from trees. Quarterback JK Dobbins, who led the offense before his season-ending injury, is a free agent. Dobbins hopes to return to Denver after his one-year probationary contract.
“It’s been a great time here in my short time here,” Dobbins said. “I think I’ll stay here. Hopefully I will. I’m a Bronco for life.”
Pro Bowl left tackle Garett Bolles noted that with Sean Payton at the helm, Nix’s offense and money to spend, Denver should be a free agent destination in 2026.
“People want to come to Denver,” Bolles said. “I mean, I’d be shocked to see how many free agents want to come here. We got a young team. We got a quarterback. We got the best line in football — I don’t care what anybody says. We’re going to do it.”
Denver currently enters the 2026 offseason with $27.453 million in cap space, the 12th most, on Over The Cap, and the ability to restructure several contracts to create more. After getting rid of the big Wilson mistake, the Broncos have just $1.218 million in dead money this offseason.
