Running back J.K. Dobbins has signed a one-year deal with the Denver Broncos worth $5.25 million, according to sources. The contract is likely maximum compensation given Dobbins’s injury history. Per-game roster bonuses are expected to be part of the base package.
Dobbins had a career-high 905 rushing yards in his only season with the Los Angeles Chargers last year. He missed four games due to an MCL injury and has dealt with significant injuries throughout his career, including ACL and Achilles tendon tears.
The Broncos now have five running backs on their roster: Dobbins, Jaleel McLauglin, Audric Estime, Tyler Badie, and rookie RJ Harvey. It remains to be seen where Dobbins fits in the depth chart.
Updated details confirm that Dobbins receives $2.065 million fully guaranteed, with an additional $680,000 in per-game active roster bonuses. The remaining $2.5 million is tied to incentives based on yards from scrimmage.
