JK Dobbins explains why he signed with the Denver Broncos in NFL free agency, citing Bo Nix, coaching, and team potential as primary reasons.

Dobbins wore No. 27 during his first four years in the NFL with the Baltimore Ravens, and he also wore that number with the Los Angeles Chargers last season. He's sharing the number for now: cornerback Damarri Mathis also wore No. 27 on Wednesday (the NFL allows players to share numbers in the offseason if they play on different sides of the ball).

The Broncos add the veteran and former Charger to join second-round pick R.J. Harvey and other young running backs.

J.K. Dobbins opened up about why he chose Denver in free agency — and explained why he believes the Broncos are built for something bigger in 2025.

JK Dobbins is coming off a career resurgence with the Chargers last season. Including a career game vs the Raiders. He just signed with the Broncos.

On Tuesday afternoon, word emerged that running back J.K. Dobbins has signed with the Broncos. Not long thereafter, coach Sean Payton met with reporters. And Payton was mum about the situation. “I’m not going to answer to any reports,” Payton said. “I think we’re close. I’ll tell you tomorrow.”

It took nearly three months in free agency for J.K. Dobbins to find a home, but he has since committed to relocate from Los Angeles. The Broncos have announced their signing, as the veteran running back is now on a one-year, $2.75MM contract.
