The Denver Broncos losing Marvin Mims would be a massive mistake.

Sure, they can’t always keep every player they draft. And the Broncos just added to their receiver room with the talented and now No. 1 receiver Jaylen Waddle.

But they need to find a way to keep Mims around because he’s a talented two-way player.

Denver Broncos losing Marvin Mims would hurt the offense and special teams

Recently, the Broncos fourth-year receiver has been talking about his coming free agency.

At the end of 2026, Mims will be a free agent unless the Broncos extend him during this...

Jordan Jackson was a 6th round pick of the Saints in the 2022 draft after playing his college ball at the Air Force Academy. The 28 year-old defensive lineman was signed to a reserves/future contract by the Broncos in early 2023. Jordan failed to make the team during training camp, but he was signed the practice squad in 2023 and then played in 17 games for the Broncos in 2024, and five games in 2025. The 6-4, 294 lb defensive end/tackle has played 395 defensive snaps in his career (most in 2024) and has 24 combined tackles (7 solo), 1...

Good morning, Broncos Country!

I decided to dip back into the draft well for a topic this Saturday. With all of the drama of the blockbuster trade for Jaylen Waddle leading up to the draft, we never really did the typical pre-draft fodder. And it’s late June now, so I figured why not throw it out there for discussion.

The best

When discussing the best draft pick in Denver Broncos history, I have to consider draft position and how their careers ended up. Meaning, a late round pick to Hall of Fame career is far more impressive than a...

After a solid career at Wyoming, Frank Crum entered the 2024 NFL Draft with the hopes of being drafted sometime on Day 3. Unfortunately, all 7 rounds of the draft were completed without Crum’s name being called. However, soon after the draft, he would agree to sign as an undrafted free agent with the Denver Broncos, hoping to make their 53-man roster.

Crum would enter the league with excellent size and athleticism, giving the Broncos a developmental prospect with a high ceiling. What helped Crum out even more was that Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton was already a huge...

Cody Schrader has a somewhat typical story for a talented undrafted free agent who keeps bouncing around teams and showing enough good to keep having at least a practice squad role.

He was originally signed as an undrafted college free agent by the San Francisco 49ers. He bounced around, spending time with the Los Angeles Rams, Jacksonville Jaguars, and was briefly claimed by the Houston Texans last season before being waived in December.

The Broncos claimed him off waivers, waived him, then re-signed him to a futures contract in January of 2026.

In his time in the NFL, Schrader has...

Good morning, Broncos Country!

The return of Bo Nix is obviously the hot topic around these parts.

While he hasn’t practiced fully yet, he was back on the field for minicamp. And Nix being back from his broken ankle is massive, for obvious reasons.

The next step for Nix and the Broncos is training camp in just a few weeks. But before that, the Broncos website got with receiver Troy Franklin for an interview.

Since the two will enter their fifth consecutive season playing together, Franklin knows Nix better than just about anyone.

As Frankin said to the Broncos...

No surprise, but most of Broncos Country voting in our SBNation Reacts poll felt pretty damn good about having our Super Bowl MVP back in the building — and on the field.

Honestly, I don’t know how it wasn’t 100%. What’s the downside?

Miller wasn’t just the best defensive player of his era in Denver — he authored the greatest defensive performance in Broncos history when he carried the franchise to its third Super Bowl title, where he racked up 2.5 sacks and forced two fumbles on the way to winning MVP.

Not that anyone here needs a reminder of...

The Denver Broncos wrapped up their offseason program last week as Bo Nix took the field. Cody Roark and Rachel Vigil break down the Broncos minicamp practice days, and focus on what lies ahead with training camp, Jonathon Cooper’s off-field legal issues and how it impacts the Broncos from a football standpoint and more.

The post Orange Crush Podcast: Denver Broncos Wrap Up Minicamp, Shift Focus to Training Camp appeared first on Mile High Sports.

Last season was a breakout year for Troy Franklin. He was coming off a disappointing rookie year, but he put in the work, added some weight, and was the Broncos’ most hyped up player in the offseason. He kept making plays during OTAs and minicamp, and that all carried over into training camp and eventually the preseason.

Franklin elevated himself to being the Broncos’ WR2 behind veteran Courtland Sutton and would go on to have a breakout season. His big breakout game came vs. the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2, where he had 8 catches for 89 yards and 1...

Michael Bandy is another player who just keeps sticking around as he fights to find a way onto the field more consistently. He’s spent much of his time in the NFL on the practice squad.

He did get some chances last season as he suited up for 4 games for the Broncos. That speaks well to him knowing the playbook and both the coaches and quarterbacks trusting him to run his routes well.

Good morning, Broncos Country. Last week during their mandatory minicamp, star cornerback Patrick Surtain II mentioned that the Denver Broncos adding wide receiver Jaylen Waddle to the offense creates an entirely ‘new dynamic’ for the franchise. During their 2025 season, we saw a lot of explosive plays from various receivers on the team. Unfortunately, the overall consistency of the group was lacking.

Waddle’s addition should provide an enormous boost for the Broncos’ aerial attack in 2026. His presence should drastically help them be more efficient. Sporting a 70-percent career catch rate, that’s far ahead of most any player on the...

Both Marvin Mims, Jr., and Troy Franklin can see the writing on the wall: Jaylen Waddle was signed because the receiving room needed a boost.

I honestly have a lot of love for both Mims and Franklin. They’ve been warriors in their time with the Broncos.

For Mims he’s a special returner but is limited in route diversity. He’s also not quite as tall or athletic as Sean Payton prefers. On the plus side, the guy is a football player. He’s a guy that give his all to make a play and has been a play maker when he does...
