Overview

  • Dobbins’ one-year deal includes a $2.75 million base salary and performance incentives that can boost it to $5.25 million.
  • Last season in Los Angeles he rushed for 905 yards and nine touchdowns, matching career highs and surpassing 1,000 yards from scrimmage.
  • He joins a backfield led by rookie RJ Harvey and supplemented by Audric Estime, Jaleel McLaughlin and Tyler Badie in Denver’s rotation.
  • Denver lost standout pass protector Javonte Williams in free agency, increasing expectations on Dobbins to handle third-down duties.
  • Dobbins’ previous ACL and Achilles injuries underscore questions about his durability as he integrates into Sean Payton’s offense.
