Garett Bolles wanted to stay with the Broncos. He waited and waited and waited. Now it’s happening.
Bolles announced his own news Thursday morning when he posted to social media that he’s sticking around for four more years. Sources confirmed the Broncos and their left tackle are indeed finalizing language on a contract that may well make Bolles a Bronco for life.
The extension is for $82 million, $42 million of which is guaranteed, and can rise to as high as $86 million if certain conditions are met, a league source confirmed to The Denver Post.
Bolles was entering the final weeks of a four-year, $68 million extension he signed in November of 2020 and his future had looked uncertain throughout the season.
At 32 years old, though, the 2017 first-round draft pick has continued to play at a high level and is among the top-ranked pass-blockers in the NFL. Now, he’ll be protecting Bo Nix’s blindside for the foreseeable future.
“My job is to play good football day in and day out,” Bolles told The Post in November. “I am not worried about what’s happening. They know I want to be here and finish my career here as a Denver Bronco. … I have given this organization everything I have. They know where the ball’s at. It’s up to them on what they want to do with it.”
Financial terms of the agreement were not immediately available.
This is a developing story.
