NFL free agency can be a great time for many players, but some are leaving their first and only teams since going pro, so it’s not always easy to decide to leave.
Former Miami Dolphins safety Brandon Jones has agreed to leave the team that drafted him in the third round of the 2020 NFL draft out of Texas to join the Denver Broncos on a three-year deal.
The safety leaves the team after four seasons where he proved to be one of the best blitzing defensive backs in the league.
After the news was reported, Jones posted a thoughtful message on social media.
Truly wouldn’t trade these last 4 years for anything. Forever grateful for the Dolphins organization for taking a chance on a kid from Nacogdoches, Texas that wanted nothing more than to live out his childhood dreams of playing in the NFL. Denver… LFG 🤠

Jones came back from a torn ACL that he suffered midway through the 2022 season to play in Week 1 last year to help his team. That just shows the type of determination that he has.
The Broncos are getting a good one, who will surely be missed in South Florida.
