Broncos Near Contract Deals with Key Players Ahead of Camp

The Denver Broncos commenced their 2025 training camp with optimism under the leadership of Head Coach Sean Payton, marking their third season together. The team returns a strong core, particularly on the offensive and defensive lines, with quarterback Bo Nix firmly established as the starter, supported by new talent additions and an enhanced secondary. While external expectations have risen, with some rankings placing them as high as No. 8, Payton emphasized the team remains a work in progress. Contract negotiations are underway with key players, including wide receiver Courtland Sutton, linebacker Nik Bonitto, and others, with Payton confirming ongoing communication but refraining from details. Unlike some NFL teams facing player absences amid contract talks, the Broncos have maintained a drama-free camp start, with nearly all players present and healthy. General Manager George Paton and Payton have both reaffirmed their commitment to retaining key contributors as the team builds toward sustained success.
