Broncos Face Tough Decision on Franklin-Myers

0:00With the NFL today, March 6th, the Denver Broncos face a tough call. This free agency, on defensive lineman John Franklin Myers, they traded for the 29-year-old from the New York Jets two years ago in a late-round pick swap. Since then, he started most games on the line, racking up 25 tackles, 7.5 sacks, and plenty of pressure on quarterbacks last season alone. Over those two years in Denver, Franklin Myers has had his best NFL stretch with 65 tackles, 14.5 sacks in strong run, defense. At six feet, four inches, and 288 pounds, he's been a cornerstone for the defense's improvement under coordinator Vance Joseph. Fans and analysts love his play, but the Broncos just extended Zach Allen, Malcolm Roach, and DJ Jones on the line. That leaves little room for another big deal, especially with other teams loaded with cap space chasing talent star spots. In the numerous swirl, he could command $20 million a year on average elsewhere.

1:01Denver seems unlikely to match that, eyeing cheaper options like developing Syvian Jones, or Ayoma Uwa Zurike instead. In the end, expect Franklin Myers to test free agency and cash in after his breakout run in the mile high city. The Broncos will likely pivot to stop cap additions rather than breaking the bank.
