Three years ago, the Denver Broncos signed defensive lineman D.J. Jones to a three-year, $30 million contract.
Jones lived up to that contract, starting 48 of a possible 51 games over the last three seasons. The interior defensive lineman totaled 122 tackles, 11 quarterback hits, nine pass breakups, five sacks, three forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries in 1,593 snaps with the Broncos .

The 30-year-old defensive lineman is now scheduled to become a free agent in March and it remains to be seen if Denver plans to re-sign him. As for Jones, he's certainly open to a return.
"I feel like we've built some culture here," Jones told the Denver Post 's Parker Gabriel in January. "We've brought some culture back. I'd love to come back."
Jones is a pending free agent, so if the Broncos do not give him an extension before March 10, other clubs will be allowed to then begin negotiating with him ahead of the official start of NFL free agency on March 12.
Jones is certainly still a capable defensive lineman, but his asking price could be the deciding factor. We'll find out in a few weeks if he's going to remain in Denver beyond his initial three-year contract.
