Broncos Reward Strnad with $18M Contract

0:00On March 17th, the Denver Broncos are taking a different path in free agency this off-season. Instead of chasing outside talent, they reassigned 17 of their own players, including linebacker Justin Strohnad, to a three-year deal worth. $18 million dollars with $10 million fully guaranteed. Sternat's contract kicks off in 2026 with a $5.165 million signing bonus and a $1.245 million dollar-based salary, both fully guaranteed plus a per-game roster bonus. It ramps up in 2027 and 2028 with base salaries around $5 million and $5 million. Fans and analysts see this as a smart reward for Strohnad, who's been with the Broncos since they drafted him in the fifth round back in 2020. He missed his rookie year due to injury, but built his role from special teams to key defensive contributor over the past two seasons. The structure mirrors a deal they gave Alex Singleton a couple years ago, keeping costs reasonable amid rising linebacker pay. Cap hits start at $3.29 million in 2026 and climbed to
