The Denver Broncos and their star defensive tackle have reached an agreement on a contract extension, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The deal was reported Saturday morning. Allen was entering the final year of his deal, but now he's with the Broncos for the long haul. He becomes the third-highest-paid interior defensive lineman in the NFL.

The Walter-Penner group and the Broncos front office have proven that they will take care of their star players.

A person with knowledge of the deal tells The Associated Press that the Denver Broncos are signing All-Pro defensive lineman Zach Allen to a four-year, $102 million contract that includes nearly $70 million in guarantees.
