Three years ago, the Denver Broncos and General Manager George Paton made Zach Allen one of their premier additions in free agency.
Since then, Allen has improved every season. Better yet, he has established himself a dominant player along the Broncos’ defensive line. Reuniting with Defensive Coordinator Vance Joseph, his high level of play has helped transform the unit to one of the National Football League’s most feared and formidable fronts.
Late last week, the Broncos and Allen came to terms on a four-year extension worth $102 million with $69.5 million guaranteed. The new deal made him the third highest paid interior defensive lineman in football.
