The Denver Broncos continue to invest in the offensive line, and the investment has reached new heights, as center Luke Wattenberg was signed to a four-year deal on Tuesday worth nearly $50 million. The deal contains $27 million in guarantees and is worth $48 million.
Wattenberg was scheduled to hit the open market in 2026, but the Broncos lock him up before that happens. With the center free agent market being a bit light, Denver clearly saw a need to get their own center back under contract. Wattenberg has been decent this year, but some have said that this is a bit of an overpay.
