Broncos Shore Up Offensive Line with Bolles Extension
The Denver Broncos have taken a significant step towards solidifying their offensive line, securing the services of their anchor left tackle, Garett Bolles, for the long haul. The team announced a four-year contract extension for Bolles on Thursday, keeping him in Denver through the 2028 season.
Long-Term Investment in a Reliable Protector
Bolles, the 20th pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, has started every game he’s appeared in during his career, proving his durability and commitment to the team. He’s now the longest-tenured Bronco and is poised to become a franchise legend as he continues to ascend the ranks of the team’s all-time tackles in starts.
This season, Bolles is demonstrating his continued excellence, allowing just one sack and 24 quarterback pressures in 476 pass-blocking snaps. His impressive performance has earned him recognition as one of the league’s top tackles, ranking second in both quarterback pressure percentage and sack percentage among tackles with at least 200 pass-blocking snaps this season.
Building a Strong Foundation
This extension represents a crucial investment in the Broncos’ future, joining other promising young players like tight end Greg Dulcich and guard Quinn Meinerz, who also signed an extension through 2028. By securing their core offensive players, the Broncos are laying the foundation for sustained success.
The Road Ahead
With all five starting offensive linemen under contract for the 2025 season, the Broncos have created a strong backbone for their offensive unit. This move meshes perfectly with their commitment to developing young talent and building a competitive team for the future.
