No one did more to extend their existing core last year than the Denver Broncos, handing out hundreds of millions to keep the likes of Nik Bonitto, Zach Allen, and plenty of others in town. The Broncos have made a priority of rewarding their own and are aiming for a third straight playoff appearance with this core. George Paton has every reason to continue rolling with this group.
On both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball, Denver has made sure that different roster fits have been kept off the open market. More specifically, Paton has handed out a few second contracts to former draft picks of his own, showing the mark he has had on the foundation of the franchise.
