Former Arizona Cardinals draft pick Zach Allen lands 4-year, $102 million extension

A former Arizona Cardinals player just got paid.

Denver Broncos defensive tackle Zach Allen agreed to a four-year extension worth $102 million, keeping him under contract through 2029.

Allen was drafted in the third round in 2019 by the Cardinals and played four seasons for them.

In 2023, he signed a three-year contract worth $45.75 million.

He had a career year in 2024, making the All-Pro second team.

He had 8.5 sacks, 15 tackles for loss and 40 quarterback hits, all career-highs.

He was one of the biggest playmakers for the Broncos' seventh-ranked defense in terms of yards, allowing the third-fewest points in the league.

Now he will continue to anchor the interior of that defense, playing for former Cardinals defensive coordinator Vance Joseph.
