There are significant uncertainties surrounding the potential contract size Browning could command from the Broncos or another team if he enters free agency. Having transitioned from his rookie season as an off-ball linebacker to an edge rusher the last two years, he's shown flashes of brilliance, but his consistency and ability to stay on the field remain in question.
Browning played 10 games in 2023 from Week 7 to Week 18, picking up 35 pressures and five sacks.

However, Browning's efficiency as a pass rusher plummeted in the nine weeks that followed when he started to get more snaps on the rotation and became a starter.
Among 85 edge defenders with at least 240 snaps as a pass rusher, Browning was tied for 60th in pressures and sacks but was 38th in win percentage and 23rd in pass-rush productivity. The talent and potential are there, but the Broncos got only 246 pass rush snaps out of him because of the time he missed with injury.
