2026 Outlook

Riley Moss enters 2026 in a precarious situation. Widely regarded as a near-perfect fit for the Broncos' scheme and praised for his demeanor, Moss faces several factors jeopardizing his long-term tenure in Denver. First, he's a proven, productive cornerback likely to hit free agency after 2026 and command more money than Denver may want to commit. Second, the Broncos face a dilemma between extending Moss or nickel corner Ja'Quan McMillian, who may be more valuable to coordinator Vance Joseph's scheme. Third, 2025 first-round pick Jahdae Barron looms as competition at outside cornerback after playing a reserve role as a rookie.

The most logical strategy for the Broncos is to either start Moss with the intention of trading him closer to the November deadline, or move him before the season entirely. Moss has already lost value due to a tough 2025 filled with defensive pass interference calls—trading him sooner rather than later maximizes return value. A team investing in Moss would get a proven cornerback with excellent footwork at a negotiable contract price, given his June 2026 expiration point.
