• Broncos' Brandon Jones: Career year in 2024

  Rotowire Jan 20, 2025

  Jones recorded 115 total tackles (79 solo), 10 passes defended, including three interceptions, and forced one fumble across 16 regular-season games in 2024. Jones was the Broncos' top tackler in his first season in Denver, tallying a career-high 115 stops. He started in 15 of his 16 appearances and ranked second on Denver's defense in passes defended and interceptions, trailing only First-Team All-Pro Patrick Surtain. The 26-year-old has two seasons remaining on the three-year, $20 million deal signed with the Broncos last offseason, so he's expected to remain in Denver in 2025.
