The numbers are in for Broncos running back J.K. Dobbins. Given his injury history, they're not too shabby. Via Tom Pelissero of NFL Media, it's a two-year, $20 million deal with $8 million in full guarantees. We're told that the deal pays out a straight $8 million in the first year, with no per-game active roster bonus and $2 million in incentives. In 2025, Dobbins's first year with the Broncos, he rushed for 772 yards in 10 games. A foot injury suffered on a Thursday night against the Raiders ended his season. It was the latest in a stream of injuries suffered by a player who plays one of the most physically demanding positions in football. When he's healthy, however, he's effective. Dobbins has a career rushing average of 5.2 yards per carry. And at $10 million per year, he did better than plenty of other running backs who either re-signed with their current teams (like Javonte Williams) or who signed with a new team (like Kenneth Gainwell).
