Report: Broncos signing Allen to 4-year, $102M extension

The Denver Broncos are signing defensive lineman Zach Allen to a four-year, $102-million extension with $69.5 million guaranteed, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Allen was entering the final season of his deal after joining the Broncos on a three-year contract in March 2023. He is coming off a breakout campaign in which he earned second-team All-Pro honors.

The 27-year-old racked up career highs in tackles (61), tackles for loss (15), quarterback hits (40), and sacks (8.5). His 50 pass-rush wins when lined up as a defensive tackle were the most in the NFL last season, according to ESPN's Evan Kaplan.

Allen was a significant contributor for the Broncos' defense in 2024, which ranked first in EPA/play and second in success rate, according to Ben Baldwin's database.

The Boston College product spent the first four seasons of his career with the Arizona Cardinals after they selected him in the third round of the 2019 draft. He has 259 tackles and 25 sacks in 78 career contests.
