NFL Notes: Franchise Players, Broncos, Jets & Redskins

Franchise Players

  • Ben Volin of the Boston Globe writes that it would not be surprising to see “most”ย of the franchise players including Von Miller, Alshon Jeffery, Eric Berry, Muhammad Wilkerson, Trumaine Johnson, and Justin Tucker sign contract extension before next week’s deadline.
  • Recent reports have indicated that Miller, Berry and Tucker are the three players to keep an eye in regards to long-term deals.

Broncos

Andrew Mason of DenverBroncos.com writes that the team is likely to use a collective of players to replace Malik Jackson in 2016 with Vance Walker likely getting the first shot.

Broncos DC Wade Phillips mentioned that Walker has “really come on” during OTAs.

“Vance Walker has really come on. He played well for us last year. Heโ€™s rushing the passer really well,” Phillips said. “He did rush well at the end of the year last year and I think heโ€™s picked up from there.”

Free agent addition Jared Crick and second-round DL Adam Gotsis could also be in the mix at some point.
