The Denver Broncos have now signed six of its seven 2026 NFL draft picks after agreeing to terms with Jonah Coleman and Kage Casey.
The Denver Broncos have signed two more rookies to four-year contracts Wednesday, leaving only its top draft pick without a deal.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Broncos have signed Washington running back Jonah Coleman (Round 4, No. 108) and Boise State offensive tackle Kage Casey (Round 4, No. 111) to standard four-year rookie contracts.
That leaves just Texas A&M defensive tackle Tyler Onyedim (Round 3, No. 66) as the only draftee unsigned, and he was the organization’s top selection.
Onyedim is currently participating in rookie minicamp under an injury protection agreement, according to The Denver Gazette, which is also how Coleman and Casey were participating prior to their agreements.
Coleman put together the third-best combine score for running backs per Next Gen Stats, producing a production score of 80 (second), an athleticism score of 69 (11th) and a total score of 77 (third).
Coleman gets a lot of praise for his leadership, which is why he was selected as a team captain for the Huskies in 2025. He was a finalist for the William V. Campbell Trophy, which is awarded to the best “football scholar-athlete” in the nation.
On the football field, Coleman uses his sturdy frame to be an excellent blocker and knows how to navigate blocks on rushes, according to NFL analyst Lance Zierlein. He isn’t the fastest runner, but he’s strong and has the ability to slip tackles at a high level, which should help him stick in the National Football League.
He resembles Broncos RB J.K. Dobbins and the team is extremely high on Dobbins, so Coleman fits the mold of what Denver is looking for. Coleman does have some injury concerns, something that Dobbins has known all too well in his career, so that's worth keeping an eye on.
Among offensive tackles, Casey had a production score of 69 (eighth), an athleticism score of 67 (13th) and a total score of 68 (11th). He projects to have the traits/talent of an above-average backup in the NFL according to NFL.com.
Casey has great size and uses his lateral quickness to help him finish plays despite below-average length, per Zierlien. He can dig himself into position and handle his own against power rushes but is susceptible to inside counters/spin moves if he overcommits to one side.
Casey’s strength makes him a formidable lineman in the running game and his anchor is described as “NFL-caliber.”
It seems like the Broncos made a great move by bringing in a tackle who can take over at left tackle when Garett Bolles eventually moves on from the team. Who better to mentor a young left tackle than the All-Pro?
