Allen emerged as a dominant force during the 2024 season, earning second-team All-Pro honors after recording a career-high 8.5 sacks and establishing himself as a key player in both run defense and pass rush.

Allen, 27, received a $42.8 million signing bonus, and his deal includes $44.25 million fully guaranteed. For salary cap purposes, his signing bonus will be prorated as $11.375 million cap hits in each of the next two seasons before two years of $7.625 million hits and then one year of a $4.8 million hit in 2029.

A person with knowledge of the deal tells The Associated Press that the Denver Broncos are signing All-Pro defensive lineman Zach Allen to a four-year, $102 million contract that includes nearly $70 million in guarantees.
