Broncos have tricky free-agent problem with pair of fan favorite CBs

The Denver Broncos’ offseason outlook includes a looming personnel decision in the cornerback room after the 2026 season. As noted by ESPN’s Jeff Legwold, Riley Moss and Ja’Quan McMillan, both fan favorites, are set to hit free agency at the same time, while Jahdae Barron is also expected to be in the mix. The team has publicly emphasized the importance of keeping both Moss and McMillan, but the report says there has been limited movement on contract extensions. With Pat Surtain II as the No. 1 cornerback and only two open spots on defense, Denver effectively has three near-term options: Moss, McMillan, and Barron. Legwold frames the problem as one the Broncos must address soon because 2026 is the final season under contract for Moss and McMillan.
