All-Pro defensive lineman Zach Allen, who turns 28 this month, set career bests last year with 15 tackles for loss and 40 QB hits.

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.

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.
