The Denver Broncos signed linebacker Nik Bonitto to a four-year, $106 million contract extension (per his agency, Athletes First). The deal makes Bonitto the highest paid non-QB in Broncos history, and includes $70 million guaranteed worth up to $120 million. The fourth-year linebacker joined the Broncos in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft, and is coming off of a breakout season in 2024 where he totaled a career-high 13.5 sacks over 17 games. Bonitto said of his breakout campaign over the summer: “Honestly, I feel like it’s made me hungrier. Now that I’ve kind of got a taste, having a really good season and everything that comes with that, I feel like I’ve attacked this offseason the hungriest I have.
