The Denver Broncos could have strong inroads to a player coming off not just a recent Super Bowl appearance, but a victory, in Jahan Dotson, and that link is quarterback Bo Nix.
Nix is recovering from a broken bone in his ankle, but he is expected to be healthy in time for training camp and was an active participant in the Broncos’ recruiting efforts during the 2024 offseason cycle.
Courting Dotson, who spent 2025 with the Philadelphia Eagles, could be simple for Nix.
Bo Nix Link Could Land Super Bowl Champion With Broncos
Nix made headlines last offseason, particularly being a point person during free agent signee and tight end Evan Engram’s visit. Engram inked a two-year, $23 million contract with the Broncos.
This time, it could be Dotson, to whom Nix already has a professional relationship.
The Denver Post’s Luca Evans urged fans to “Keep an eye on Dotson as a potential depth piece.”
“Dotson’s agency CAA also represents Nix,” The Denver Post’s Luca Evans wrote on March 6. “He’s a former 2022 first-round pick whose production stalled out in Philadelphia, but he can block, play from the slot and hasn’t dropped a pass since 2023.
Dotson, who turns 26 on March 22, was the 16th overall pick of the 2022 draft by the Washington Commanders.
He caught 18 passes for 262 yards and 2 touchdowns for the Eagles in 2025.
Dotson posted a 3-53-1 line during the 2025 postseason, and he has a 121-1,519-12 career line. He was traded to the Eagles in 2024, with the Commanders making a rare intra-divisional move.
Jahan Dotson a Fit for Denver

He could fill a key role for the Broncos behind Courtland Sutton, whose current running mates consist of Marvin Mims, Pat Bryant, and Troy Franklin.
Franklin and Nix were college teammates, and that connection paid off last season.
While they were never teammates, even a working connection could help foster a relationship between Dotson and Nix. The Broncos have also shown a willingness to let their young receivers continue to develop, which adding Dotson would not spoil.
Dotson is coming off a one-year, $2.7 million contract with the Eagles, and he has earned $15 million in his career.
Spotrac projected Dotson’s market value at an identical pact for 2026.
The Broncos have $25.2 million in space, per Over The Cap. Which means they would be able to afford what Dotson is projected to make and still have wiggle room to address other areas of need, such as linebacker and running back.

Despite the possibility that he could return to the Eagles, Dotson has suggested his tenure is over, which is good news for the Broncos.
“I know that it’s probably my last day being here,” Dotson told PennLive’s Johnny McGonigal in January. “So it’s tough seeing all the faces, all the relationships you built. Obviously, you still keep those. But those everyday locker room talks and everything like that, it’s tough leaving that. But it’s part of the business.”
He was also confident that he is still growing as a player.
“I know I can make plays for any football team in this league. I wasn’t really able to showcase that here just because of the people that we have,” Doton said, per McGonigal, adding that he. “took a backseat to that for the betterment of the team. I was that guy who kind of had to sacrifice getting the ball.”
“I’ve got to look out for myself right now. I know I have all the capability to make plays. It’s just about seeing which team sees that in me.”
