Broncos Sign Nik Bonitto to Record $120M Non-QB Extension

The Denver Broncos have secured All-Pro linebacker Nik Bonitto with a historic four-year contract extension worth up to $120 million, including $70 million guaranteed, making it the largest non-quarterback deal in franchise history. Bonitto, a second-round pick from 2022, earned his first Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors in 2024 after a breakout season with 13.5 sacks and 16 tackles for loss. This marks the third major extension for key Broncos players this offseason, following deals for defensive lineman Zach Allen and wide receiver Courtland Sutton. At 25 years old, Bonitto's contract reflects the Broncos' commitment to building a winning culture and a talented defense under coach Sean Payton. With these long-term deals in place, the team aims to make a deeper playoff run in 2025 and chase their first postseason victory since the Peyton Manning era. Bonitto's bold message, "Let’s go win this f—— chip now!", underscores the team's ambitions for the upcoming season.
