Luke Wattenberg, the Denver Broncos’ starting center, is the latest offensive lineman to secure a lucrative contract extension. Wattenberg has reportedly agreed to a four-year, $48 million deal, which includes $27 million in guaranteed money. He joins Wil Lutz, Courtland Sutton, Zach Allen, Nik Bonitto, and Malcolm Roach as the latest Broncos players to receive new contracts this season. Wattenberg, a fifth-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, has been a starter for the past two seasons. He earned his starting role following a competition at center during the 2024 training camp. This season, Wattenberg has started all 11 games and started 13 games in 2024. The Broncos have built one of the league’s top offensive lines, and Wattenberg has played a critical role in their success. With this extension, the team is hopeful that he will continue to develop into one of the NFL’s premier centers.
