- Report: Broncos DL Zach Allen seeking $25 million per season
Denver Broncos defensive lineman Zach Allen is coming off the best season of his career, and he might soon be due for a big pay raise.
Allen was named a second-team All-Pro last season after posting career highs in tackles (61), quarterback hits (40) and sacks (8.5). Allen is now entering the final year of the three-year contract he signed in 2023 and he's set to earn $13.25 million in 2025.

Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette reported last week that Allen is seeking a " lucrative contract extension " in the neighborhood of $25 million per season. Allen's projected market value is about $22.1 million, according to Spotrac.com .
Allen, 27, certainly deserves a big raise, but he's not the only player seeking a new deal.
Two other key defenders -- defensive lineman John Franklin-Myers and pass rusher Nik Bonitto -- are also scheduled to become free agents in 2026, and they have made it clear with their social media activity that they want extensions sooner rather than later .
On offense, wide receiver Courtland Sutton is also entering the final year of his contract with a base salary of $13.5 million after earning $15.2 million last season. Sutton might want a raise -- and an extension to give him more long-term security.
