Broncos Tender McMillian, Second-Round Draft Pick Required

0:00On February 27th, the Denver Broncos have slapped a second round tender on cornerback Jocquon McMillian, worth $5.8 million dollars. This means any team wanting to sign him in free agency has to give up a second round draft pick if the Broncos don't match the offer. McMillian started as an undrafted free agent, but quickly became a top slot corner in the league. He's made huge plays like that, over time pick against Josh Allen in the playoffs, and a pick six versus the chargers, plus multiple interceptions off, Patrick Mahomes. He's heading back to a stacked Broncos secondary with stars like defensive player of the year. Pat sustained the second, Riley Moss, first rounder Jade, Baron, and reliable backup Chris Abrams' drain. Depth that cornerback is gold in the NFL, and Denver's got plenty. Free agency could shake things up, though teams rarely part with a second rounder just to snag a player like this. Still, it's worth watching if someone bites or if the Broncos lock him down long term.
