The Denver Broncos‘ backfield just got more crowded.
After signing J.K. Dobbins to a one-year contract, Denver now has six running backs on their 90-man* offseason roster: Dobbins, RJ Harvey, Audric Estime, Jaleel McLaughlin, Tyler Badie and Blake Watson. Harvey and Dobbins are poised to serve as the top two backs in 2025, but how the rotation shakes out behind them remains to be seen.
To make room for Dobbins on the roster, the Broncos waived long snapper Zach Triner in a corresponding move. Triner was brought in to handle long-snapping duties while Mitchell Fraboni recovered from back surgery.
*Note that Denver has an extra 91st spot on the roster because Australian-born punter Jeremy Crawshaw gets an offseason roster exemption as part of the NFL’s international player pathway program. With that caveat in mind, here’s a look at the team’s roster going into minicamp.
