On Monday, Bonitto was lounging an arm over a bench when the news of the day was broken to him. Teammate Courtland Sutton, the Denver lifer, had agreed to terms on a four-year extension. The first in a logjam of Broncos who need new deals, including Bonitto himself, just got one.

Broncos pass rusher Nik Bonitto met with media at his youth football camp today and gave an update on his contract status with the team. He told reporters that contract talks with the Broncos are “happening right now” and that he is allowing his agent to do the negotiating.

After signing Courtland Sutton, the Broncos could turn their attention toward these four other players scheduled to become free agents in 2026.
