The Broncos run of retaining core players is on.
Denver and veteran tight end Adam Trautman agreed to terms on a three-year deal on Sunday afternoon, multiple sources confirmed to The Post. Trautman would have become a free agent and gained the ability to negotiate with any team at 10 a.m. Monday.
The deal came together quickly, a source said. Denver reached out to Trautman on Sunday afternoon and an agreement got hammered out in a matter of hours.
It comes as no surprise that head coach Sean Payton and company wanted Trautman back. He has been their most-used player at the position since the Broncos traded for him in the spring of 2023.
Trautman was originally drafted by Payton in New Orleans in 2020 out of Dayton. At that time, Payton traded a slew of Day 3 draft picks to move up and pick him.
