Broncos complete draft class signings with Troy Franklin deal

The Broncos have officially completed their draft pick signings. According to Mike Klis of 9News in Denver, the Broncos have signed Troy Franklin to his rookie deal.

The wideout’s four-year rookie contract is worth $4.875M and includes an $854K signing bonus. Franklin was Denver’s only remaining unsigned draft pick.

After barely missing out on a 900-yard campaign in 2022, Franklin easily topped that mark in 2023. The Oregon product finished the season with 81 receptions for 1,383 yards and 14 touchdowns, earning him first-team All-Pac-12 honors and a second-team All-American nod.

Franklin landed in an ideal situation, as he’ll team up with his college QB Bo Nix, Denver’s first-round pick. While the Broncos moved on from Jerry Jeudy this offseason, the team is still rostering Courtland Sutton. The veteran will be joined by former second-round pick Marvin Mims Jr. and new addition Josh Reynolds atop the depth chart, but Franklin should have an easy path to the WR4 role ahead of Tim Patrick and rookie seventh-round pick Devaughn Vele.

The Broncos’ seven-man draft class is officially signed. The grouping includes:

• Round 1, No. 12: Bo Nix (QB, Oregon) (signed)
• Round 3, No. 76: Jonah Elliss (EDGE, Utah) (signed)
• Round 4, No. 102 (from Commanders through Seahawks): Troy Franklin (WR, Oregon)
• Round 5, No. 145 (from Jets): Kris Abrams-Draine (CB, Missouri) (signed)
• Round 5, No. 147: Audric Estime (RB, Notre Dame) (signed)
• Round 7, No. 235 (from Seahawks): Devaughn Vele (WR, Utah) (signed)
• Round 7, No. 256 (from Jets): Nick Gargiulo (C, South Carolina) (signed)
