Dobbins wants to finish career with Broncos"},"content":{"rendered":"

Running back J.K. Dobbins hopes he has found a home in Denver.<\/p>\n

Still only 26, Dobbins has 634 rushing yards in eight games. That currently has him at third in the NFL, and it\u2019s the most rushing yards through eight games for Broncos tailback since Clinton Portis, who had 793 rushing yards through eight games played in 2003.<\/p>\n

It has Dobbins, who signed a one-year deal in June, hoping he\u2019ll get the chance to stick around.<\/p>\n

\u201cFar as extension and stuff like that, that doesn\u2019t cross my mind,\u201d Dobbins said Thursday, via Luca Evans of the Denver Post. \u201cBut, me just wanting to be here in Denver \u2014 yes. I hope to end my career here<\/a> and be here for the rest of my time in the NFL.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dobbins\u2019s contract has a base value of $2.7 million, with up to $2.5 million in incentives. The biggest incentive is a contract that would keep him on the team beyond 2025.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to be in Denver,\u201d Dobbins said. \u201cI love it. I love the fanbase. I think the fanbase and I have a connection. Love my teammates. And I also love Sean Payton. I love the owners.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dobbins surely doesn\u2019t love how his career initially played out. Injuries hampered him significantly in 2022 and 2023. Last year, he rushed for 905 yards in 13 games with the Chargers.<\/p>\n

This year, he\u2019s averaging 5.3 yards per carry. It\u2019s hard to ignore that kind of performance. And it\u2019s safe to say that, if the Broncos aren\u2019t interested in continuing the relationship, he will have suitors.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Running back J.K.
