One of the major reasons the Denver Broncos experienced success last season was improved play from their defensive line. Zach Allen shined like a star, Jonathan Franklin-Myers proved to be one of the best additions to the squad, and Malcolm Roach was a quality free agent addition.
Veteran defensive tackle D.J. Jones also played well, but he is scheduled to be a free agent. At the 2025 NFL Combine, General Manager George Paton mentioned he would love to have Jones back in the fold for the Broncos’ 2025 campaign. Whether or not the two parties come to terms on an extension remains to be seen.
