Evan Engram named NFL's most overpaid tight end for Broncos

Evan Engram, a tight end for the Denver Broncos, has been labeled the most overpaid player in the NFL following a disappointing performance in his first season with the team. Engram signed a two-year, $23 million contract in 2025 but recorded only 50 receptions for 461 yards and one touchdown last season. Analysts highlight his drop-off in production after a Pro Bowl season in 2023. With the Broncos drafting tight ends Justin Joly and Dallen Bentley, Engram's role moving forward remains uncertain, and further underperformance could lead to his departure from the team. Analysts suggest wide receiver Jaylen Waddle's speed may help Engram attract more targets.
