Broncos make no-brainer Patrick Surtain contract decision

The Denver Broncos are coming off of a disappointing, playoffs-less 2023-2024 season with an eye on improving their standing in a packed AFC West. Antonio Pierce has made the Raiders a force to be reckoned with and the Chiefs are the defending Super Bowl champions. Jim Harbaugh is revamping the Chargers with an eye on a division title in year one. Where Coach Sean Payton's Broncos fit depends largely on their defense, which gave up an AFC West worst 413 points last season.
