The Denver Broncos were proactive in locking up players with expiring contracts in 2025.
During the regular season, the team signed kicker Wil Lutz, center Luke Wattenberg and defensive lineman Malcolm Roach to multi-year contract extensions. Over the last two years, the Broncos have given new deals to 11 key players.
