2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bonitto had a stellar 2024 campaign, finishing his third season with career highs in total tackles (48) and sacks (13.5). The 25-year-old also scored his first two touchdowns of his young career last season. A rising defensive star in the league, Bonitto is coming off a Pro Bowl and All-Pro season and is heading into a contract year in 2025. The Broncos will likely do their best to retain the linebacker, as he has the skill set to be a true game-changer for the team's defense for years to come. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $106 million contract with the Broncos in September of 2025.
Signs massive four-year extension
Bonitto agreed to terms Thursday on a four-year, $106 million contract extension with the Broncos, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Bonitto's deal makes him the highest-paid non-quarterback in franchise history and reportedly includes $70 million guaranteed. It's a massive investment in the 2022 second-round pick, who compiled totaled 48 tackles, 13.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and one interception in 2024 en route to earning his first Pro Bowl nod. He should be viewed as a high-end IDP option at linebacker heading into his fourth NFL season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
No urgency on extension
Bonitto indicated Monday that he's not concerned about locking in a new contract extension during training camp, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports. "I know these things can happen tomorrow or happen months from now," Bonitto said. "I kind of just keep it day by day and keep the focus on football."
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old edge rusher gained some additional leverage in his negotiations when Kansas City handed George Karlaftis a four-year, $93 million deal over the weekend, but Bonitto doesn't seem to be in any rush to get a new contract signed. After recording a career-high 13.5 sacks over 17 regular-season games last season, the 2022 second-round pick has one more year remaining on his rookie deal.
