Overview

  • Evan Engram, a two-time Pro Bowl tight end, joins the Denver Broncos on a two-year, $23 million contract with $16.5 million guaranteed.
  • Engram had a career-best season in 2023 with 114 receptions for 963 yards but struggled with injuries in 2024, limiting him to 47 catches in nine games.
  • The Broncos outbid the Los Angeles Chargers to secure Engram, marking a significant offensive upgrade for second-year quarterback Bo Nix.
  • Head coach Sean Payton described Engram as a 'joker' player, capable of creating mismatches and enhancing Denver's offensive versatility.
  • The signing addresses Denver's longstanding tight end production issues and aims to build on the team's 2024 playoff appearance.
