The Denver Broncos shook up their Y receiver group by trading for Jalen Waddle from the Miami Dolphins. Now, with high-priced stars crowding the position, all eyes are on Marvin Mims Jr. and his future in Denver. Former Broncos receiver Benny Fowler recently joined a podcast and predicted Mims won't land a contract extension here. He pointed to the team's commitments, like around $27 million and $30 million deals for other receivers, making it tough to add. Another big salary, Dave Logan, the Broncos radio voice, pushed back a bit. He noted the team hasn't featured Mims much on offense yet, which could factor into any decision more than just money. Still, fans see the risk as Mims heads into his contract year. Mims brings elite value as a kick-and-punt returner, earning pro-bowl nods in each of his first two seasons.

With new play collar Davis Webb in charge, Mims could carve out a larger role next year. It's a situation worth watching through the 2026 season as the Broncos balanced their roster.
