Broncos extend K Lutz's contract for three years, securing him through 2028

Posted Nov 24, 2025

The Denver Broncos have secured kicker Wil Lutz with a three-year contract extension, solidifying his position through 2028.

Why it matters: This deal reflects the Broncos' commitment to maintaining stability in their kicking game, an area critical for team success.

Lutz has been instrumental in the Broncos' offensive strategy, converting 17 of 20 field goal attempts this season at an impressive 85 percent rate.
His ability to deliver under pressure is evidenced by his career total of 13 game-winning field goals, including three walk-offs this season alone.

What’s new: The terms of Lutz's extension have not been disclosed; however, he is currently earning $3.9 million this season.

Lutz was recently honored as the AFC Special Teams Player of the Week after going 5-for-5 on field goal attempts against the Kansas City Chiefs.
He has consistently demonstrated his value, having also been named AFC Special Teams Player of the Month twice during his tenure in Denver.

Yes, but: While Lutz's performance has been stellar, the impact of his extension goes beyond just statistics.

Head coach Sean Payton emphasized that Lutz's relationship with the organization is built on trust and familiarity, having worked together for nine out of Lutz’s ten seasons in the NFL.
"First off, he's earned it," Payton stated, highlighting the confidence the coaching staff has in Lutz's abilities.

What to watch: As the season progresses, Lutz will continue to play a vital role in close games where every point counts.

The Broncos’ offense, which has struggled at times, can rely on Lutz for consistent scoring opportunities, especially in high-pressure situations.
His presence may also alleviate some pressure from the team's young quarterback, providing reassurance that points are more likely whenever drives stall near the red zone.

The bottom line: With Lutz's extension, the Broncos signal a strategic focus on special teams that could pay dividends in the playoff chase.

Solid kicking can often be the difference-maker in tight contests, a reality the Broncos seem keen to capitalize on as they aim for postseason success.
