Broncos retain OL Alex Palczewski with two-year contract extension
Summary

The Denver Broncos have signed offensive lineman Alex Palczewski to a two-year contract extension worth $9.5 million. Palczewski, who initially joined the team as an undrafted free agent in 2023, has filled in effectively at both tackle and guard positions due to injuries on the offensive line. In his first two seasons, he made significant contributions as a fill-in starter, especially in 2025 when he started for left guard Ben Powers. His solid performance has sparked speculation about his future role, particularly with ongoing contract negotiations for other linemen.
