The Denver Broncos have signed star defensive lineman Zach Allen to a massive contract extension, which will run through the 2029 season. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the full terms: a four-year, $102 million extension with $69.5 million guaranteed.

Allen, 27, was entering the final year of the three-year, $45.75 million contract he signed in 2023 with Denver. The final year of that deal, which includes a $12.74 million base salary, will remain in place.

The defensive lineman was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in the 2019 NFL draft, where he spent four seasons before signing with Denver in free agency. Allen recorded a career-high 8.5 sacks and 40 quarterback hits last season, and was named second-team All-Pro.
