Broncos Lock in Palczewski, Signaling End for Powers

0:00On March 6, the Denver Broncos have signed defensive lineman Alex Pogeski to a two-year contract extension. The 27-year-old undrafted free agent from 2023 started 10 games at left guard last season and three at right tackle this year. This deal locks him in through 2027. Earlier this week, NFL Network's Tom Policero reported the agreement negotiated by Pogeski's agent. It shows the team's commitment to a player whose proven reliable when injuries hit. For veteran Ben Powers, this spells trouble. He missed time due to injury, and with one year left on his deal, the Broncos now seem ready to move on. A trade or release after June 1st would free up $12.73 million in cap space. Powers remains a solid player that other teams might want, possibly netting Denver a draft pick in return. Meanwhile, Pogeski steps in as the likely starter at left guard. The Broncos' offensive line has been a strength since Sean Payton arrived, and this key-state unit humming as they eye the 2026 draft.
