Broncos Lock In Zach Allen with $102M Extension
Big news just came out of Denver—Zach Allen, the standout defensive lineman for the Broncos, has just agreed to a massive four-year contract extension worth $102 million. What’s especially impressive is that $69.5 million of that is guaranteed. This move shows the Broncos are doubling down on keeping their core talent intact as they try to build a championship-caliber team.
Now, if you're not familiar with Allen's story, it's actually a pretty solid rise. He started his NFL career as a third-round pick back in 2019 with the Arizona Cardinals. He showed flashes of potential there, but really started to come into his own when he signed with the Broncos in 2023. That deal—three years for $45.75 million—already looked like a good pickup. But now? He’s turned into one of the most reliable and explosive defensive linemen in the league.

Last season, Allen had a career year—61 tackles and 8.5 sacks—and was voted second-team All-Pro. That’s a big deal. It’s not easy to get recognized like that, especially when you’re sharing snaps with other talented defenders. But Allen's ability to disrupt both the run and the pass made him a cornerstone on that Denver defense.
And this extension isn’t just about rewarding past performance—it’s about betting on his future. At 27, he’s right in the sweet spot of his career, and the Broncos clearly believe he's going to be a long-term anchor on the defensive front. The guaranteed money in the deal reflects that trust.
Interestingly, this extension comes just days after Denver gave wide receiver Courtland Sutton a four-year, $92 million deal. Sutton even said he left some money on the table so the team could keep other key guys—like Allen. That move already seems to be paying off.
The Broncos are clearly trying to create a stable, competitive roster. And with another rising star like linebacker Nik Bonitto entering the final year of his rookie contract, we might see more big extensions coming soon.
So yeah, Allen’s extension isn’t just a win for him—it’s a sign that the Broncos are serious about staying competitive, building continuity, and locking down the guys who are making the biggest difference on the field.
