Dobbins wore No. 27 during his first four years in the NFL with the Baltimore Ravens, and he also wore that number with the Los Angeles Chargers last season. He's sharing the number for now: cornerback Damarri Mathis also wore No. 27 on Wednesday (the NFL allows players to share numbers in the offseason if they play on different sides of the ball).

On Tuesday afternoon, word emerged that running back J.K. Dobbins has signed with the Broncos. Not long thereafter, coach Sean Payton met with reporters. And Payton was mum about the situation. “I’m not going to answer to any reports,” Payton said. “I think we’re close. I’ll tell you tomorrow.”

Former Los Angeles Chargers running back J.K. Dobbins is signing with the Denver Broncos, according to reports.

JK Dobbins is coming off a career resurgence with the Chargers last season. Including a career game vs the Raiders. He just signed with the Broncos.
