By playing in at least 55% of the offensive snaps in each of his first three season, Jonah Jackson qualified for a level 2 Proven Performance Escalator (PPE) for his fourth year salary. As a result, his base salary will increase to the Right of First Refusal (ROFR) tender for Restricted Free Agency ($2,629,000) plus an additional $250,000.
His base salary was slated to be $1,216,137, so his base will increase by $1,662,863 ($2,629,000 + $250,000 - $1,216,137) to $2,879,000.
The PPE is only available for players drafted in round 2 or later and none of the other 2020 draft picks still on the roster (Swift, J Okwara, Stenberg and Cephus) qualify. Will Harris and Amani Oruwariye qualified last year, while Austin Bryant did not.
Im not saying JJ is at Nelsons level, but I think hes gonna do a whole lot better than 5-6m aav

Current Contract
Quenton Nelson signed a 4 year, $80,000,000 contract with the Indianapolis Colts, including a $31,000,000 signing bonus, $60,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $20,000,000
Yeah this kid is gonna get paid way more than 6 million lol. I expect around 10-12 at least. Look at the deal Glasgow got a few years back. Mentioning him also reminds me that we should try to bring him back in the off season to play RG since he’ll be a free agent, much cheaper since he’s lost some value in recent years
By free agent I mean that the broncos are almost definitely going to release him since it’ll save them 11 million in cap space for 2023
