This past week, the Denver Broncos signed wide receiver Courtland Sutton and now defensive linemen Zach Allen to sizable contract extensions. Both players are team leaders who were entering the final year of their contracts and have been performing at a high level for the team.
Around the league, we are seeing teams like the Bengals, Cowboys, and Commanders struggle to reach deals with their deserving veterans, which is leading to messy off-the-field drama, including players skipping offseason workouts, an ugly back-and-forth with the media, and even requests for trades.
Not in Denver.
The Broncos front office and ownership, led by the Walter-Penner Group, have been proving to the team and players around the league that if you play at a high level for the Broncos, they will take care of you when it comes to contract time.
