Broncos Extend Alex Palczewski, Strengthen Offensive Line

0:00On March 5th, the Denver Broncos kicked off their in-house free agent signings this week with a two-year contract extension for offensive lineman Alex, Paul Jeski. The deal keeps the 26-year-old with the team through the 2027 season. He joined as an undrafted free agent from Illinois back in 2023. Paul Jeski sat out his entire rookie year on Inter Reserve but broke through in 2024. He made his regular season debut that year and stepped in to start three games at the right tackle when the starter got hurt. Then in 2025, he switched to left guard for the first time at this level and started 10 games there. Teens love players like him because of his flexibility across the line. Over two seasons, he's appeared in 31 games with 13 starts, holding steady at both tackle and guard spots on either side. Instead of just offering a one-year tender as a restricted free agent, Denver locked him up long-term to protect that depth. Looking ahead to 2026, Paul Jeski should serve as a top back up and swing lineman

At his age, he's got plenty of prime years left. This move shows Denver building a solid foundation up front, securing reliable pieces before chasing bigger names this off-season.
