Broncos Re-sign Lucas Krull, Keep Tight End Depth

This week, instead, they brought him back on a one-year deal worth up to $1.33 million for the 2026 season. That includes a $100,000 signing bonus, plus roster bonuses and incentives. Crowe, who went undrafted before joining Denver, wrapped up his third season with the team last year. A foot injury sidelined him in October, but over 23 games, he posted 29 catches for 262 yards in one touchdown. Mostly as a backup, head coach Sean Payton has praised Crowe's growth, noting key plays that built his confidence over the years.
