3 Broncos are playing their way into contract extensions after six games

Writing for Predominantly Orange, Lou Scataglia argues that Denver Broncos defensive backs Brandon Jones, Talanoa Hufanga, and Ja'Quan McMillian have earned contract extensions. Denver moved to a 4-2 record in the 2026 season following an overtime home victory against the Seattle Seahawks. Scataglia highlights the secondary trio as standout performers through the opening six games of the campaign.

According to Scataglia, extending slot cornerback McMillian should serve as Denver's top priority, pointing to his consistent coverage improvements and game-winning overtime interception against Sam Darnold. The writer also advocates extending safeties Jones and Hufanga due to their strong coverage metrics and physical defensive production throughout the early stretch of the season.
