Broncos Stick With Cooper Amid Legal Troubles | Denver Broncos News

Broncos coach Sean Payton confirms linebacker Jonathon Cooper remains with the team despite facing serious legal charges, including a felony assault by strangulation and three misdemeanors, stemming from two recent arrests. Cooper, who reported to training camp and is participating in practices, is being closely monitored as the team follows league and club protocols. Payton, who has spent time with Cooper alongside ownership and GM, declined to comment further, urging patience until the legal matter is resolved. With his trial potentially overlapping the season and possible NFL suspension looming, Payton insists the situation won’t distract the team — especially since Cooper, a key starter since being drafted in 2021 and recently signed to a major extension, remains an integral part of the roster.
