Broncos Re-Sign Michael Burton for 2024 Season

The Denver Broncos have re-signed Michael Burton, a key special teams player and fullback, to a one-year contract for the 2024 season. Burton, 33, who has been with the Broncos for the past two seasons, is valued for his lead-blocking abilities and special teams contributions. Despite modest offensive stats, with seven carries for eight yards and ten receptions for 65 yards last season, his role is crucial in creating rushing lanes for the running backs. This will be Burton's third season with the Broncos and his fourth under head coach Sean Payton, having previously played for him at the New Orleans Saints. Besides his on-field duties, Burton also took on responsibilities such as serving as the team's players' union representative. His re-signing is seen as a stabilizing move for Denver's roster as they look to draft a lead rusher to capitalize on Burton's blocking skills.
