Overview

  • Cornerback Patrick Surtain II said his prime objective for 2025 is to win Denver a fourth Lombardi trophy after earning 2024 Defensive Player of the Year honors.
  • Linebacker Alex Singleton declared the unit’s offseason aim to outmatch the performance of the franchise’s 2015 Super Bowl-winning defense.
  • The front office bolstered the roster by signing linebackers Dre Greenlaw and safety Talanoa Hufanga to three-year contracts.
  • Denver preserved continuity by re-signing D.J. Jones and Justin Strnad and used its first-round pick on cornerback Jahdae Barron.
  • Last season’s defense ranked third in the NFL in points allowed and led the league with 63 sacks, setting a new standard heading into 2025.
