The Denver Broncos got great news this week when the NFL commissioner removed edge rusher Jonathon Cooper from the exempt list. It means the $60 million star can play in Week 7 against the Arizona Cardinals.
Here’s the thing — someone may have already risen up and taken Cooper’s place.
In the 6 games Cooper missed after a pair of arrests this summer that led to felony domestic violence charges, 2nd-year edge rusher Que Robinson has emerged as a star in the making, with Bleacher Report’s Kristopher Knox calling him the “Biggest Surprise” on Denver’s roster on their way to a rollercoaster 4-2 start.
“The Denver Broncos’ defense seemed to regress early in the season,” Knox wrote on October 17. “However, it has started to rebound during the team’s 4-2 start. 2025 fourth-round pick Quandarrius ‘Que’ Robinson has been a big part of the unit’s return to form. He has also seen a surprising jump in production in his second season. The Alabama product was largely buried on the depth chart as a rookie and saw limited action in six games last season. Robinson played just 34 percent of the defensive snaps last season and finished with 12 tackles and a half-sack. He has played 47 percent of the snaps through five games this season and has already recorded 23 tackles, three tackles for loss, four quarterback hits, and two sacks.”
