Overview

  • Free agent running back J.K. Dobbins visited the Broncos’ facility in Englewood on Wednesday for a meeting with coach Sean Payton.
  • The 26-year-old rusher led the Chargers with 905 yards and nine touchdowns last season and carries an unrestricted free-agent tender worth about $1.1 million.
  • Denver’s current backfield features second-round pick RJ Harvey, second-year back Audric Estime and veteran Jaleel McLaughlin.
  • The Chargers can include Dobbins in their compensatory draft-pick formula for 2026 if he signs elsewhere before the July 22 deadline.
  • Payton described Dobbins as a “good football player” he has tracked for a while and said the visit presents a chance to strengthen the position.
