Broncos eye Chiefs LB Leo Chenal for free agency after shoulder injury

The Denver Broncos are reportedly considering signing Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Leo Chenal in free agency. Chenal, 25, played 4 NFL seasons, recording 58 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 interception, and 5 QB hits in 14 games (12 starts) in 2025. He has 218 career tackles, 17 TFL, 7 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles over 65 games. PFF ranked him 18th among LBs in 2025 with a 75.1 overall grade. Chenal is projected to earn around $5 million per season but is coming off a season-ending shoulder injury, which could impact his market value.
