Marvin Mims Jr. and the Broncos' Tough Choice | Denver News

Marvin Mims Jr. is a clutch performer who thrives when called upon—whether as a receiver or returner—and his impact has been undeniable, even when his snaps were limited. A first-round pick under Sean Payton, he flashed elite talent early, including a 100-yard receiving game as a rookie, and delivered big plays in critical moments, like his two-touchdown performance against the Bengals and leading the team in receiving yards in the playoffs. His return prowess has directly led to wins, earning him Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors in his first two seasons as a returner—a rare feat for a Broncos player. With the team trading for Jaylen Waddle, Mims’s role is now uncertain, potentially dropping to fifth on the receiver depth chart. The Broncos face a tough decision: pay him like a top receiver or value him as a game-changing returner. Projections point to a $10–13M contract, but his locker-room value and proven ability to deliver in high-leverage situations suggest the Broncos will likely try to extend him before training camp.
