2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bonitto had a stellar 2024 campaign, finishing his third season with career highs in total tackles (48) and sacks (13.5). The 25-year-old also scored his first two touchdowns of his young career last season. A rising defensive star in the league, Bonitto is coming off a Pro Bowl and All-Pro season and is heading into a contract year in 2025. The Broncos will likely do their best to retain the linebacker, as he has the skill set to be a true game-changer for the team's defense for years to come. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $5.8 million contract with the Broncos in May of 2022.
Career year in 2024
Bonitto played in all 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 48 tackles (33 solo), including 13.5 sacks, four pass defenses (including a pick-six), two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery that was returned for a touchdown.
ANALYSIS
The 2022 second-round pick out of Oklahoma led the Broncos with a career-high 13.5 sacks, which was third-most in the NFL behind Trey Hendrickson (17.5) and Myles Garrett (14.0). Bonitto hadn't scored a defensive touchdown in the first two years of his NFL career, but he had back-to-back defensive scores in Week 13 and Week 15. Bonitto's efforts in 2024 earned him a spot in the Pro Bowl and Second-Team All-Pro, and the 25-year-old edge rusher could be in line for a sizeable contract extension during the offseason.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Extension could be coming
Bonitto could work out a contract extension with the Broncos before the start of the 2025 season, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Denver has made a habit of locking up key young personnel like Patrick Surtain and Quinn Meinerz, who both got extensions last year, and Bonitto figures to be next after recording 13.5 sacks in 2024, which was third in the NFL. Given the current market for pass rushers, the 25-year-old could command a deal with an AAV north of $20 million per season.
