Chad Jensen· Sep 7, 2026
Jensen projects Moss could earn upwards of $20 million per year and suggests the Broncos may work out an extension with him around their Week 10 bye. He also describes Moss as one of the league's best No. 2 cornerbacks.
“Something tells me that, barring an extension this coming week ahead of the season opener, the Broncos may look to get something done with Moss at their Week 10 bye.”
