The Denver Broncos’ $20 million safety is beaming with joy after joining the team, pledging to chase Super Bowl LX with his “second family,” sources told ESPN. His enthusiasm signals a bold playoff push.
Brandon Jones, 26, shared on Broncos Insider Podcast: “I turned down more lucrative offers to join the Broncos, but 2024 was a tough year for me. Though I didn’t meet expectations, Coach Payton always encouraged me and urged teammates to embrace me. I love this team; it’s my second family.”
Signed from the Dolphins in March 2024 for three years, $20 million ($6.67M/year average), Jones posted 108 tackles and 3 interceptions in 16 games. Injuries hampered his peak, per Pro-Football-Reference.
Bo Nix, with 3,775 passing yards in 2024, backed Jones’ integration. “Brandon brings toughness and spirit,” Nix said, fostering bonds with Patrick Surtain II, per The Athletic.
Jones’ 2024 challenges, including a knee tweak limiting snaps to 65%, didn’t dampen his love for Denver. “The vibe here is electric,” he told ESPN, contrasting his Miami days.
With $18 million in cap space, Denver’s 2025 roster, enhanced by Talanoa Hufanga and Jahdae Barron, targets Super Bowl LX. Jones’ 190 career tackles bolster the secondary, per NFL.com.
His commitment, amid Dre Greenlaw’s arrival, lifts a 10-7 squad. “This is my home,” Jones said, echoing Sean Payton’s culture, per Denver Post.
As the Broncos prepare for their September 7 opener, Jones’ resolve strengthens their title chase. Can he spark a Super Bowl run? Follow ESPN for updates!
