And with yet another defensive back getting paid recently, it further proves how awesome of a job the Broncos did with Patrick Surtain II's contract. Patrick Surtain II - $24 million per yearThe Broncos did sweeten his deal earlier in the offseason:"The Broncos agreed to a revised contract in 2026 to avoid any potential holdouts by Surtain and also to completely restructure the remainder of the contract. Surtain was the highest-paid at the position when this deal was initially reached, but he's now seventh on a per-year basis. This also happens at every other position with the NFL salary cap getting higher and higher most years. Heck, if the Broncos come to the table next offseason for a contract extension with Bo Nix, that deal could end up being a top-of-market contract.
