Episode Details

The Broncos face a tough dilemma as outside linebacker Jonathon Cooper, a key pass-rusher with 27 sacks in three seasons, is sidelined by legal trouble after two arrests in June — and releasing him would cost them a massive dead cap hit. With his contract guaranteeing millions in 2026, GM George Paton is weighing options while turning to young standout Que Robinson, who boasts the highest upside in their 2025 draft class. Robinson, 25, showed flashes last season — including a half-sack and a QB drop in the AFC title game — and may even be moved to a bigger role to accelerate his growth. Cooper’s situation marks the first major off-field issue for the current ownership, setting a precedent for how the team handles player discipline. Robinson’s development could ultimately determine Cooper’s future with the franchise.
