Overview

  • The deal carries a $2.745 million base salary and up to $2.5 million in incentives, making it worth $5.25 million if all bonuses are earned.
  • Denver waived long snapper Zach Triner on Wednesday to open a roster spot for Dobbins ahead of rookie minicamp.
  • Last season with the Chargers, Dobbins rushed for a career-high 905 yards and nine touchdowns despite missing games with an MCL sprain.
  • He arrives with a notable injury history that includes a torn ACL in 2021 and a torn Achilles tendon in 2023.
  • Dobbins joins a crowded backfield featuring second-round pick R.J. Harvey, Jaleel McLaughlin, Audric Estime, Tyler Badie and Blake Watson.
