The Denver Broncos have locked down another key piece of their defense for the foreseeable future.
The team on Thursday agreed to a four-year contract extension with Pro Bowl edge rusher Nik Bonitto . The $106 million deal includes $70 million guaranteed, per reports.
Bonitto, 25, enjoyed a breakout season in his first full campaign as a starter in 2024, finishing with a team-high 13 ½ sacks – the third-best total of any player – for a defense that led the NFL with 63. Denver ranked No. 3 in points allowed as the unit helped pave the way for the franchise's first playoff berth since its Super Bowl-winning run in 2015.
