About this episode

Denver Broncos Re-sign J.K. Dobbins: A Strategic Move for a Solid Ground Game

The Denver Broncos missed out on top free agent running backs Kenneth Walker III and Travis Etienne, who joined the Kansas City Chiefs and New Orleans Saints, respectively. Instead, the team opted to re-sign J.K. Dobbins, their lead back from the 2025 season. Despite playing in only ten games due to injuries, Dobbins presence led the Broncos to an 8-2 record. He rushed for 772 yards, averaging 5 yards per carry, and fans are hopeful that his injury history wont hinder his performance. The Broncos plan to add depth to their running back position through the 2026 draft or by utilizing R.J. Harvey as a complementary rusher. This strategic move ensures a solid ground game while keeping costs under control as the team builds for the future.

On March 9th, the Denver Broncos missed out on two top running backs in Free Agency, Kenneth Walker III, and Travis Etienne. Walker is set to join the Kansas City Chiefs, while Etienne heads to the New Orleans Saints. Those deals become official on Wednesday, and the Broncos clearly weren't willing to match the high prices. Instead, the smart play for Denver looks like resigning JK Davins, their lead back from the 2025 season. He only played in 10 games due to injuries, but the team went 8 and 2 in those outings. Davins wrecked of 772 rushing yards, putting him on pace for over 1300 in a full 17 game schedule. He averaged 5 yards per carry overall, with consistent production in nearly every game he touched the field. Fans worry about his injury history, but the Broncos plan to add depth, maybe through the 2026 draft. RJ Harvey could also step up as a complimentary rusher next year. This keeps a proven, efficient runner in the mix without breaking the bank, setting up a solid ground game as the team builds for the future.
