The Broncos are close to reaching a deal with defensive tackle D.J. Jones at around $13 million per year, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Sunday, as Denver tries to keep a core piece before free agency.
The Broncos signed Jones, 30, to a three-year, $30 million contract during free agency in 2022.
He benefited from Denver's upgrades overall in the defensive line over the past two seasons, starting with Zach Allen's arrival in free agency in 2023 and continuing with the trade for John Franklin-Myers and the signing of free agent Malcolm Roach last offseason.
