- Broncos miss out on TE Juwan Johnson in NFL free agency
Sean Paytonhas brought many former New Orleans Saints players ( and coaches ) with him to the Denver Broncos , but tight end Juwan Johnson won't be joining that list.
Johnson, 28, is re-signing with the Saints , according to his agent, AJ Vaynerchuk . The three-year deal is worth $30.75 million and includes $21.25 guaranteed, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero .

That takes one of the top pending free agent tight ends off the board for the Broncos , who desperately need to add a playmaker at the position this offseason. With Johnson no longer available, all attention will now turn toward Evan Engram .
Engram, 30, went to dinner with Denver's brass on Sunday night and then had a long visit at the team's facility on Monday, but he left without a contract . It's unclear what prevented a deal, but it seems safe to assume the two sides have a difference in valuation.
It's possible that Engram could remain a target for the Broncos, but as of now, Payton is yet to secure a tight end for young quarterback Bo Nix in 2025.
