Ja’Quan McMillian staying with Broncos after one-year deal

by | Mar 6, 2025

The Denver Broncos have placed a 1-year, $1.03 million tender to ECU alum and cornerback Ja’Quan McMillian.

According to USA Today’s Broncos Wire, the team exercised the deal after McMillian’s contract expired. He became a free agent and was given an Exclusive Rights Free Agent deal on Tuesday.

McMillian earned $915,000 last season, the website reports. He could sit out the season if he doesn’t sign the deal but can’t negotiate with other NFL teams.

The Broncos’ slotback has played the last two seasons with the Broncos. He has 139 tackles, 35 assisted, with four interceptions, one for a touchdown. He had his best season in 2024 where he had 81 tackles, 20 assisted, with a sack and two interceptions, one for a touchdown against the Cleveland Browns on Monday Night Football.
