Broncos pending free-agent pass rusher John Franklin-Myers.
The Denver Broncos knew they couldn’t keep every piece of what’s been the NFL’s best defense the last 2 years — especially after going 14-3 in 2025 and earning the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs.
Still, it’s going to hurt to see defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers walk out the door on Monday, leaving for a 3-year, $63 million free agent contract with the Tennessee Titans.
“A player like John Franklin-Myers is ultra rare in the NFL,” ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler said on Monday. “There aren’t many guys who can pass rush inside and outside with equal effectiveness. Huge pick up for Tennessee.”
Franklin-Myers will be reunited with his head coach on the New York Jets, Robert Saleh, who is in his 1st year as head coach of the Titans.
“BREAKING: The#Titans are signing former#Broncos DT John Franklin-Meyers to a 3 year 63M deal with 42M guaranteed, per sources,” NFL insider Jordan Schultz wrote on his official X account. “JFM was a super hot free agent and was a massive part of Denver’s defensive line success – with 14.5 sacks in two years … a massive pickup for the Titans.”
