Broncos and Chiefs Battle for Travis Etienne Jr. in Free Agency

The Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs are both pursuing pending free agent running back Travis Etienne Jr. Etienne is coming off a 2025 season with 1,397 total yards and 13 touchdowns. The Broncos view him as an explosive fit for Sean Payton's offense, while the Chiefs are also expected to be heavy players in the market. Both teams are also monitoring other backs like Kenneth Walker, but Etienne remains a primary target for the AFC West rivals.
