Broncos DL John Franklin-Myers a strong fit for Falcons in free agency

Denver Broncos defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers is identified by ESPN's Matt Bowen as an ideal free agent fit for the Atlanta Falcons. Under coordinator Jeff Ulbrich, Franklin-Myers could be utilized as a versatile defender, playing nose or 5-technique and providing interior pass rush. He recorded 7.5 sacks and 23 pressures with the Broncos in 2025, building on back-to-back seven-sack seasons. Having previously played under Ulbrich with the Jets (2021-2023), the 288-pound lineman's pass rush ability and power against the run make him a logical veteran addition for Atlanta's young defensive front, despite a high missed tackle rate and an outlier seven penalties in 2025.
