Gets contract guarantee The Broncos are exercising a $7 million guarantee on Miller's (ankle) $18 million salary for 2021, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Impact There was talk of negotiating a lower salary for the final year of Miller's contract, but the Broncos apparently are willing to keep his deal in place now that the pass rusher isn't facing legal charges from a recent investigation by the Parker (Col.) Police Department. Miller should be ready for training camp, considering his dislocated peroneal tendon came with a recovery timeline of 5-to-6 months. He had surgery Sept. 11 and began running in early December.

Anticipating second-rounder tender The Broncos are expected to place a second-round tender on restricted free agent Patrick (foot), Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.
Impact The move would help ensure Patrick remains a Bronco in 2021, as Denver would have the opportunity to match any offer the receiver attracts on the open market. Furthermore, any bargaining team would have to surrender a second-round draft pick to the Broncos in order to acquire Patrick's services. During his third pro season in 2020, Patrick composed three separate 100-yard receiving performances. His six receiving touchdowns, meanwhile, were twice as many as any other player on the team. Courtland Sutton's return from a torn ACL likely would dampen Patrick's target share. Then again, Patrick may benefit from more single-coverage situations if he's operating opposite Sutton and promising sophomore wideout Jerry Jeudy.

Option not exercised The Broncos will not exercise Jackson's option for the 2021 season, Mike Klis of 9News Denver reports.
Impact The Broncos had until the beginning of the new league year to make a decision regarding Jackson's $10 million option for the upcoming campaign. Jackson is coming off a 2020 season in which he recorded 89 tackles, four passes defended and one interception. He's now set to become a free agent, though he may find it difficult to land a multi-year deal given that he's entering his age-33 campaign.

Likely catching second-round tender The Broncos are expected to place a second-round tender on restricted free agent Johnson, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Impact Johnson's base salary for a one-year deal will now be set at $3.3 million, as Denver takes an initial step toward retaining its leading tackler from a season ago. Additionally, should Johnson leave town for an offer the Broncos prove unwilling to match, a second-round pick will be coming back Denver's way. GM George Patton still may aspire to add an effective coverage linebacker to the fold during free agency or the draft. With the second-round tender commitment to Johnson, it becomes more taxing to pry away one of the team's surest run stoppers.

Given lower tender The Broncos have tendered Lindsay (hip) as a restricted free agent, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Lindsay famously went undrafted back in 2018, so giving him an original-round tender means the Broncos can match any offer sheet he receives, but they won't be entitled to compensation in the form of draft picks if he does sign elsewhere. Denver also had the option of applying a second-round tender to Lindsay, which would've virtually guaranteed he sticks around next season, but that would have raised his minimum salary from $2.13 million to $3.38 million. The two-time 1,000-yard rusher will get to negotiate with other clubs and test his value.

Gets big deal in Denver The Broncos signed Darby to a three-year, $30 million contract Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Darby is cashing in after having played on a one-year, $3 million contract in Washington last season. He finally stayed healthy for a full 16-game slate in 2020, and his contract is an indication that the Broncos aren't too worried about the health concerns that plagued Darby earlier in his career. He's primed to occupy one of the team's outside starting cornerback spots next season.
