Broncos sign Garett Bolles to a four-year contract extension, solidifying their offensive line.
Why it matters: The Broncos secure their starting left tackle for the foreseeable future, ensuring continuity and stability on their offensive line.
What's new: Garett Bolles, the Broncos' first-round pick in the 2017 draft, confirmed the deal on social media. The complete terms of the extension have not been disclosed, but sources indicate it is worth up to $82 million with over $40 million in guarantees.
Yes, but: Bolles had previously signed a four-year, $68 million extension in 2020, but this new contract further cements his importance to the team.
By the numbers: Bolles has been a durable player, rarely missing practice and starting all 13 games this season. He currently ranks seventh among tackles in the league in pass block win rate at 93.2%.
What's next: With Bolles locked in, the Broncos can focus on other areas of improvement, such as quarterback and skill positions, to elevate their offense.
The bottom line: Bolles expressed his desire to be a "Bronco for life," and now with this contract extension, he gets his wish. The Broncos can rely on Bolles to protect their quarterbacks' blindside and anchor their offensive line for years to come.
