The Denver Broncos are considering signing 2024 Pro Bowler Jonnu Smith ahead of the 2026 season. Smith, still a free agent, is noted for his productive 2024 season with the Miami Dolphins, where he posted 88 catches for 884 yards. The Broncos struggled at tight end last season with Evan Engram and Adam Trautman. Sources indicate that Smith's skill set could enhance Denver's offense under head coach Sean Payton. As training camp approaches, it remains to be seen if the Broncos pursue Smith further.
