The Denver Broncos are “still working on” finalizing an injury settlement with former linebacker Jonas Griffith, according to a report from the Denver Gazette‘s Chris Tomasson.
When the Broncos cut Griffith in August, they did not give him an injury designation. Shortly thereafter, Griffith announced that he needed to undergo surgery on the same ACL that he injured with Denver in 2023.
Broncos coach Sean Payton has said the team will “do right” by Griffith by retroactively giving him an injury settlement. The details of that settlement are apparently yet to be finalized.
“We’re going to certainly do right by the player and take care of him,” Payton said on Sept. 2. “He’s someone that’s busted his tail here for the better part of two years trying to stay healthy.”
Denver reached an injury settlement with rookie outside linebacker Jaylon Allen on Aug. 14. Tomasson reports that Allen’s settlement was worth “about $3,000.” Allen (ankle) is now a free agent and once healthy, he might be a candidate to return to the Broncos on the practice squad.
