The Denver Broncos have acquired defensive end John Franklin-Myers from the New York Jets in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick. The deal was reached after permission was granted for Franklin-Myers to seek a trade, and he passed a physical in Denver. The trade was primarily driven by financial considerations, with the Jets clearing Franklin-Myers' $13 million salary from their books. Franklin-Myers is described as having a relentless motor, and the Broncos are excited about adding him to improve their defensive line.
