One down, four to go?

The Denver Broncos signed wide receiver Courtland Sutton to a four-year contract extension on Monday, securing the receiver through the 2029 season. Broncos general manager George Paton might now turn his attention toward four other players scheduled to become free agents in 2026.

Here’s a quick list of the players who might be next on Paton’s to-do list.

Broncos contract extension candidates

1. DL Zach Allen: Allen (27) is coming off the best season of his career with 40 quarterback hits and 8.5 sacks. After earning second-team All-Pro honors last season, Allen is said to be seeking $25 million per season on his next contract.

2. OLB Nik Bonitto: Bonitto (25) earned his first career Pro Bowl nod and a second-team All-Pro selection after totaling 13.5 sacks and scoring two defensive touchdowns in 2024. He is now expected to start negotiations for a new deal at $23 million per year.

3.DL John Franklin-Myers: JFM (28) has made it abundantly clear on social media that he wants an extension sooner rather than later. Spotrac estimates JFM has a market value of $8.5 million, but the defensive lineman has hinted that estimate is too low.

4. DL Malcolm Roach: Roach (26) was dubbed perhaps the team’s best free agent addition of 2024 by Paton, so he is clearly valued by the team’s front office. Roach’s contract will likely be more affordable than the three other players on this list, which might help his chances of getting an extension sooner.

Stay tuned as we wait to see which player could get a deal next.
