Congrats to Ben Powers on his new (and quick) deal with Broncos. He quietly & slowly worked his way to becoming a reliable starter at guard after being a 4th-rounder. He priced himself out of Baltimore in doing so. Ravens will reload with players trying to follow his path.

The Broncos are signing guard Ben Powers to a four-year deal, a league source confirms to The Athletic. (1st by @mikeklis).
Powers, the No. 53 free agent on The Athletic's top 150, was one of the league's most-improved offensive linemen in 2022.

Ben Powers joins the list of players I believe PFF (rightly) helped get paid. They are the Evan Mathis All Stars.

Ben Powers was the 4th-best offensive lineman in the entire NFL last year, according to Sports Info Solutions.
He ranked as the 3rd-best run blocking offensive lineman and the 15th-best pass blocking lineman.
