Broncos' Mims Dilemma: Special Teams Star or Receiver?

0:00On March 26th, the Denver Broncos are focused on building a Super Bowl contender around their current roster, resigning key players like Courtland, Sutton and others this off-season. Now, a big question is whether to extend why receiver Marvin Mims Jr. who's heading into the final year of his rookie deal and could hit free. Agency in 2027 Mims shines on special teams, earning pro-Bull nods in his first two seasons and all pro-owners last year. But as a receiver, he struggled, never topping 40 catches or 500 yards in a season and he fell behind teammates in production this year. The team just traded for star-pass catcher Jalen Waddle, which might push Mims even more towards special team's duties. One analyst argues Denver should skip the extension to save money, especially after another return specialist signed a 3-year 51 million dollar deal elsewhere. On the flip side, at just 24 years old, Mims brings speed as a deep threat that could thrive with Waddle stretching defenses.

1:02Fans and some insiders say letting him go would break the Broncos push for roster stability. With training camp approaching, the front office spaces a tough call on balancing special teams' value against receiver-deaf and a wide open AFC West. Stay locked in with NFL News Today.
