Broncos Push to Re-sign J.K. Dobbins

0:00On March 7th, the Denver Broncos are pushing to resign running back JK Dobbins after a strong partial season where he rests for 700. 72 yards and 4 touchdowns over 10 games, averaging 5 yards per carry. General manager George Patton called him a hit in the locker room and expressed interest in bringing him back at the NFL Combine. Dobbins stepped up big before a season ending foot injury in week 10. Meanwhile, the free agent running back market is getting crowded fast, with names like Joe Mixon suddenly available after the Houston Texans released. The 30-year-old pro-buller, Dobbins, who just turned 27, brings elite efficiency when healthy. Only one back has topped his career yards per carry since 2020. His injury luck has been rough, but he bounces back without losing speed. Fans and analysts see Dobbins as more than a rusher. He offered Captain-level leadership that boosted the offense's mindset. With Rookie RJ Harvey taking over late last season, doubts linger about him handling every down.

1:02Losing Dobbins could hurt, especially as quarterback Bo Nick stays affordable for just two more years. Right now, no deal is done despite mutual interest. Likely over-contract talks after Dobbins earned $2 million last year. Waiting like they did last off-season risks, other teams grabbing him for a bit more cash. Pairing him with Harvey and maybe another free agent would fix the groundgame woes exposed, post-injury. Broncos fans hope Aton acts quick to lock in this proven talent and build depth before the new league year ramps up the competition.
