BREAKING: Denver Broncos get tight end for quarterback Bo Nix

The Jacksonville Jaguars opted to release Evan Engram this offseason, making him a free agent in early March. After visiting the Denver Broncos and Los Angeles Chargers, the 30-year-old tight end has secured a new contract.

Engram has officially signed with the Broncos, as confirmed by his agent, Mike McCartney of Vayner Sports, and NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. Denver strengthens its offense with a skilled tight end to support Bo Nix’s development next season.

“Former Jaguars TE Evan Engram is signing with the Broncos on a two-year deal, per agent Mike McCartney.”

According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Engram’s contract is worth $23 million over two years, with $16.5 million fully guaranteed.

“Compensation update: The Broncos are signing TE Evan Engram to a two-year, $23 million deal, including $16.5 million fully guaranteed at signing, per The Insiders. Engram finds a new home, and Sean Payton gets his ‘Joker.'”

Engram spent three seasons with the Jaguars before hitting free agency. He was a reliable target in his first two years in Jacksonville, but the 2024 season was challenging, as he missed eight games due to a season-ending torn labrum. He finished the year with 47 receptions, 385 yards, and one touchdown. Following his release, Engram shared a farewell message with Jaguars fans.

Now in Denver, Engram has a chance to rebound from his injury and contribute as a key receiving option in Sean Payton’s offense. Tight end was not a strong position for the Broncos last season, with the team relying more on wide receivers and the ground game. Engram’s arrival could help diversify the offense, providing rookie quarterback Bo Nix with another reliable weapon.
