John Franklin-Myers is set to leave the Denver Broncos.
It's no surprise, but the Denver Gazette's Chris Tomasson reported Thursday that Franklin-Myers is not expected to re-sign with the club ahead of NFL free agency next week. He'll be missed in Denver, but as KUSA-TV's Mike Klis pointed out, JFM's departure could land the team a third- or fourth-round compensatory draft pick next spring.
The league has a formula for determining picks that essentially compensates teams that lost more than they gained during free agency the previous offseason. If JFM lands a massive contract (he will) and the Broncos don't offset it with another big signing this spring, the club will likely be awarded a comp pick for the 2027 NFL draft.
This year, Denver's expected to receive a pair of seventh-round comp picks for losing running back Javonte Williams and punter Riley Dixon during free agency in 2025.
The NFL's free agency negotiating window opens on Monday, and Franklin-Myers should have plenty of suitors as one of the top interior defensive linemen on the market.
