Denver Broncos Allow Defensive Lineman Jonathan Harris to Enter Free Agency

2 min read

The Denver Broncos have made a strategic decision regarding their defensive lineup, choosing not to re-sign restricted free-agent defensive lineman Jonathan Harris.

This move grants Harris the status of an unrestricted free agent, giving him the freedom to explore potential opportunities with other NFL teams, starting from March 13.

Throughout the previous season, the 27-year-old Harris played a significant role for the Broncos, featuring in 17 games, earning five starts, and making notable contributions such as securing one sack and accumulating a total of 43 combined tackles.

The Broncos’ choice not to tender Harris likely stems from financial considerations, as tendering him would have incurred a cost approaching $3 million.
