DENVER — The Broncos’ active Saturday produced more than 2024 draft picks.

Denver also acquired veteran defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers from the New York Jets in exchange for a future draft pick, multiple sources confirmed Saturday to The Denver Post.

ESPN reported the Broncos are sending a 2026 sixth-rounder to New York.

Franklin-Myers has started all but one game for New York over the past three seasons. The 27-year-old has 19.5 career sacks to his name and has logged 18 tackles for loss over the past three seasons as a starter.

The Jets felt they had to move him because he had big salary cap numbers the next two seasons, but Denver worked out a restructured deal for him as part of the trade, a source confirmed.

Franklin-Myers will sign a two-year deal worth $15 million ($10 million guaranteed) that comes with a $4 million signing bonus, a source said.

Franklin-Myers’ agent, Cliff Brady, confirmed Franklin-Myers was traveling to Denver on Saturday and expected to sign the re-worked deal Sunday.

The trade was multiple weeks in the making and now Franklin-Myers likely steps in as a starter along with Zach Allen and D.J. Jones up front. Denver’s also added free agents Malcolm Roach and Angelo Blackson this spring and signed Rashard Lawrence to a futures deal earlier in the offseason, meaning they’ve essentially remade the defensive line group around Allen and Jones.
