The Denver Broncos officially announced the signing of free agent running back J.K. Dobbins on Wednesday.
Terms were not disclosed but multiple reports on Tuesday said it was a one-year deal worth $5.25 million.
Dobbins, 26, remains in the AFC West coming off his best season in 2024 with the Los Angeles Chargers.
The oft-injured back rushed for a career-high 905 yards and tied a career high with nine rushing touchdowns in 13 games (11 starts) in his lone season with the Chargers.
In parts of four seasons spanning 37 games (21 starts), Dobbins has rushed for 2,252 yards and 21 TDs along with 59 receptions for 330 yards and one score with the Baltimore Ravens (2020, 2022-23) and Chargers.
“It’s another good football player that we’ve seen firsthand,” Broncos coach Sean Payton said Tuesday. “I’ve seen him for a while. The importance of that position group, we really like the group we’re working with, (but) it’s just another opportunity to possibly bring in another good football player who can help us win.”
Dobbins joins Denver’s running back depth chart that includes 2025 second-round draft pick RJ Harvey, Audric Estime and Jaleel McLaughlin.
The Broncos waived long snapper Zach Triner to open a roster spot for Dobbins. Triner, 34, has played in 84 games with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2019-24) and Miami Dolphins (2024).
