The Denver Broncos traded a 2026 sixth-round pick to the New York Jets during this year’s NFL draft in exchange for defensive end John Franklin-Myers. Because the Jets were in a salary cap pinch, the Broncos were able to acquire the defensive lineman at a bargain price.
Denver coach Sean Payton described Franklin-Myers as a “powerful” player last month. The 27-year-old defensive lineman discussed getting the opportunity to join the Broncos during organized team activities in June.
