The Facts: After much talk this offseason that Jeudy could be on the way out in Denver, today the Broncos gave him some job security. The Broncos have picked up Jeudy’s fifth-year option, according to NFL Network. That means Jeudy is guaranteed a 2024 salary of $12.987 million, and then he’s scheduled to hit free agency in March of 2025. Jeudy and the Broncos could also work out a new contract before that.
Diehards Line:Although the Broncos did talk about trading Jeudy this offseason, from all indications they were only willing to do so if they got a significant offer, and no offer to their liking came in. The Broncos selected Jeudy with the 15th overall pick in the 2020 NFL draft. Despite a down year for the Broncos’ offense last season, he hit career-highs with 67 catches, 972 yards and six touchdowns in 2022.
