Franklin-Myers also retweeted this message from JJ Watt : "Reward your players earlier and reap the benefits in the long run. Dragging it out not only ends up costing more, it creates unnecessary tension. The longer you wait, the higher the price."
A few days later, Joey Richards of the "Let's Talk Broncos " podcast tweeted that Broncos general manager George Paton has rewarded deserving players with extensions during his tenure in Denver. JFM replied : "….."
Franklin-Myers also caused a stir in Broncos Country when he tweeted: "Still counted out.."
Franklin-Myers still has one year and $8 million left on his current contract, but it's clear that he wants an extension to give him more security -- and a raise. He retweeted this fan calling for Denver to rework his contract:
Now that the initial wave of free agency has wrapped up, the Broncos might soon begin working on in-house extensions. In addition to JFM, other players in line for extensions include Bonitto, defensive lineman Zach Allen and wide receiver Courtland Sutton .

Extension talks with Bonitto are expected to begin at $23 million per season . Allen is believed to be seeking $25 million per year . Sutton made $15.2 million last season. JFM's estimated market value is about $8.5 million per year, according to Spotrac.com .
After getting deals done with offensive tackle Garett Bolles , guard Quinn Meinerz , pass rusher Jonathon Cooper and cornerback Pat Surtain last year, a few more big extensions could be on deck in the coming months.
