THE Denver Broncos were active since the opening of the free period last week. We have seen signed and signed players, and many left for external teams.
I have broken down each free agent that the broncos have signed or signed for multi -year contracts. I will look at the details, as indicated by On the capAnd see how broncos have done in terms of player in question and the post market.
Then, the interior defensive line DJ Jones, who signed with the broncos on a $ 36 million contract over three years.
First of all, to date, for those who look On the capThere are entries for a massive list bonus in 2028 and 2029, but it was probably an error in entering information. There should not be any list bonuses due during the years of vacuum.
Returning to the contract itself, the Broncos used two years of vacuum to distribute the signature bonus over a period of five years. However, Broncos can get out of the Jones agreement in 2027 with a money load of $ 4.8 million and $ 10.8 million in the freed ceiling space.
The advantage for Jones is that he gets a real two -year commitment from Broncos. They could still exchange it in 2026, but Jones will collect all his salary for the next two years.
Regarding the way in which his contract is aligned on the market, there are players who have less money than him, like Pona Ford, who could have provided a similar or better production. However, some players have more money than Jones, such as Javon Kinlaw, who was cut by the New York Jets Then signed with the Washington Commanders For more money than he received for his previous agreement.
I imagine that the Broncos decided that it was better to go with familiarity than to add someone in a free agency who might not train. In doing so, they gave this player that they have an increase in his previous agreement and another two -year commitment.
I do not blame the broncos for having respected who they know, but I wonder if the broncos could have obtained a similar player at a lower price.
