Mims' Offensive Dip Sparks Extension Debate

Marvin Mims, a Denver Broncos wide receiver, has shown potential in his first two NFL seasons, earning All-Pro honors as a returner while contributing on offense. However, his 2025 season saw a marked decrease in offensive output, with only 322 receiving yards and one touchdown, a decline from the previous year's 503 yards and six touchdowns. Despite strong performance in the return game, totaling 1,110 yards in 2025, his offensive role appears to be diminishing.

Experts suggest the Broncos should reconsider extending Mims' contract, citing his struggles to secure a significant role in the passing game and his falling yardage behind teammates like Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin. The recent high-profile trade for Jaylen Waddle further complicates Mims' prospects for ascending the team's receiving hierarchy in 2026. As Mims approaches the final year of his rookie contract, his performance this upcoming season will be critical in determining his future with the team.
