Still, the degree to which Greg Penner and the Walton-Penner ownership group have flexed their financial muscles in Denver is stunning, ever since taking hold of the Broncos in 2022. There was an immediate $100 million dedicated to upgrades at Empower Field. And a league-high $200 million committed to free agents in 2023. And a hard-swallow $85 million to cut bait early with Russell Wilson.
This offseason has been no different, as the Broncos jostle in the free-agency arms race to establish themselves as serious contenders in 2025.
