Broncos Lock in Jordan Jackson with Exclusive Rights Tender

0:00On March 13, the Denver Broncos made a straightforward move in free agency tenders this week. They offered defensive lineman Jordan Jackson his exclusive rights free agent deal, a one-year contract worth $1,75,000. That locks him in for next season with no other teams able to bid. Jackson first caught on as a sixth round draft pick with the New Orleans Saints before landing in Denver back in 2023. He's been a deaf piece on the defensive line, providing solid rotation snaps. Fans and analysts see this as low risk for the Broncos, given his youth and potential. In 2024, he notched 17 tackles in one sack across the full year, showing flashes of promise despite not being a starter. This past season brought challenges, though, with injuries sidelining him after just five gains. Still, the tender signals the team's belief in his upside moving forward, with early tenders like this setting the stage, expect more roster clarity as the offseason heats up.
