The Denver Broncos have announced that they have re-signed reserve offensive linemen Alex Palczewski to a two-year deal. He was a restricted free agent, and instead of placing a tender on him, the two sides have agreed to terms on a much-deserved two-year deal.<\/p>\n
After a solid career at Illinois, offensive linemen Alex Palczewski went undrafted in the 2023 NFL Draft. He would sign with the Denver Broncos and quickly make a name for himself in training camp. After making a strong case for a roster spot, an injury sidelined him for most of his rookie season. However, he continued to prove himself the following season and made the Broncos\u2019 53-man roster as a key reserve offensive lineman.<\/p>\n
He would appear in 14 games for the Broncos in 2024 and start 3 games at right tackle for the injured Mike McGlinchey. He played well and proved he can hold his own in the NFL. This past season, Palczewski was viewed as the Broncos 6th offensive lineman and would eventually take over at left guard for the injured Ben Powers. He started 10 games for the Broncos this past year and made a case to be a starter for them moving forward.<\/p>\n
Now, Palczewski will be signing a two-year deal with the Broncos and could see himself as a starter for them next season. I say this because veteran left guard Ben Powers has been rumored to be on the trade block, and the team could look to ask him to either take a pay cut or rework his deal. With Palczewski locked up, the ball is in the Broncos\u2019 court, and we\u2019ll have to see what they decide to do with the veteran Powers moving forward.<\/p>\n
At the end of the day, this signing is a much-deserved contract for Palczewski and, at the very least, makes the Broncos offensive line that much deeper moving forward. He has proven he can play at right tackle, left guard, and has even seen some left tackle snaps during past offseasons. He\u2019s a versatile lineman who has proven he can also be a reliable starter for the Broncos.<\/p>\n
I like the deal and I am glad that Palco is back with the Broncos.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Denver Broncos have announced that they have re-signed reserve offensive linemen Alex Palczewski to a two-year deal.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":795152,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2026],"tags":[1151,7],"class_list":{"0":"post-795151","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-denver-broncos-news","9":"tag-football"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116180040037796201","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795151","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=795151"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795151\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/795152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=795151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=795151"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=795151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
