- Broncos could lose comp pick if J.K. Dobbins hits contract incentives
Each year, the NFL hands out compensatory draft picks to teams that lost more than they gained during free agency in the previous offseason. The Denver Broncos haven't received a comp pick since 2018, and that was projected to change in 2026 -- before the J.K. Dobbins signing .
Nick Korte of OverTheCap.com tweeted last week that if the Broncos signed Dobbins for more than $3 million , it might cancel out a seventh-round comp pick for losing punter Riley Dixon this offseason. Dobbins signed a deal worth " up to " $5.25 million, but he only has $2.065 guaranteed.

It remains to be seen how much Dobbins will end up earning after incentives in 2025, and it's unclear if he will cancel out a comp pick next offseason. We probably won't know for sure until next spring.
Right now, OverTheCap.com estimates Denver could receive a pair of seventh-round picks in 2026. That would give the Broncos eight total picks next year ( they currently hold six of their original seven selections ). Even if Dobbins cancels out one of the seventh-round picks, it's possible Denver would be left with another. Check back in 2026.
