BREAKING NEWS: Denver Broncos NFL Broncos’ J.K. Dobbins Sends Shot at Chargers After Denver Decision to…see more 

In a surprising twist to the NFL offseason, running back J.K. Dobbins, recently signed by the Denver Broncos, appears to have taken a subtle jab at his former team, the Los Angeles Chargers, following his decision to join Denver.

Dobbins, who had a standout 2024 season with the Chargers, rushing for 905 yards and nine touchdowns in just 13 games, was a free agent this offseason. Despite his impressive performance, the Chargers opted not to re-sign him, instead adding Najee Harris to their backfield.

On June 11, 2025, Dobbins signed a one-year, $5.25 million contract with the Denver Broncos. During his introductory press conference, Dobbins expressed enthusiasm about the new opportunity, stating, “I’m excited to be here in Denver, ready to contribute to a team that’s committed to winning.” However, his comments about his previous team seemed to carry an underlying message.

When asked about his decision to leave the Chargers, Dobbins remarked, “Sometimes, it’s not just about the numbers. It’s about finding a place where you feel valued and where you can truly make an impact.” While he didn’t explicitly criticize the Chargers, the implication was clear.

Dobbins’ move to the Broncos has been met with mixed reactions. Some analysts believe he could be a valuable addition to Denver’s backfield, pairing well with rookie RJ Harvey. Others question whether his injury history and the Broncos’ existing depth at running back will allow him to make a significant impact.

As the 2025 NFL season approaches, all eyes will be on Dobbins to see if his performance on the field can match the boldness of his off-field remarks.
