Jahdae Barron's signing with the Denver Broncos marks a strategic enhancement to their already formidable defense for the 2025 season. As the No. 20 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, Barron secured a four-year, $18.07 million contract with a $9.8 million signing bonus.
Projected to start as a slot cornerback, Barron is expected to contribute significantly with 1.6 interceptions, 58 defensive tackles, and 10.6 passes defended in 2025. His versatility and high football IQ, honed at Texas where he earned a 91.3 PFF coverage grade, will be crucial as he joins forces with Patrick Surtain II and Riley Moss.
Under the guidance of head coach Sean Payton and defensive coordinator Vance Joseph, Barron is poised to thrive in Denver's aggressive defensive scheme, bolstering their secondary and enhancing their playoff aspirations.
