Evan Engram, a tight end who has made it to the Pro Bowl twice, has signed a two-year deal with the Denver Broncos. This deal is worth $23 million, with a significant $16. 5 million guaranteed. The Broncos have been looking to strengthen their tight end position, and Engram brings a lot to the table.

        The Broncos are getting a player who had a standout season with the Jacksonville Jaguars. In 2022, Engram set career highs with 73 catches and 766 receiving yards. The following year, he improved even further, catching 114 passes for 963 yards and four touchdowns. These numbers are impressive and show that Engram is a reliable player on the field. However, injuries have been a concern. Engram missed eight games last season due to hamstring and shoulder issues, which limited his performance.

        Engram's journey in the NFL started when he was drafted by the New York Giants in 2017. Over five seasons with the Giants, he had 262 receptions for 2, 828 yards and 16 touchdowns. His move to the Jaguars in 2022 was a game-changer. He signed a one-year, $9 million contract and quickly proved his worth. The Jaguars even used the franchise tag on him in 2023, showing they valued his skills. But things changed, and he was released by the Jaguars this month, saving them $5. 98 million against the salary cap.

        Engram's release from the Jaguars opened the door for the Broncos. The team saw an opportunity to bolster their tight end position and went for it. Engram's experience and talent make him a valuable addition to the Broncos' roster. However, his injury history is a concern. The Broncos will need to manage his health carefully to get the most out of him.

        The Broncos' move to sign Engram shows they are serious about improving their offense. Engram's ability to catch passes and make plays will be a big help. But the Broncos also need to ensure he stays healthy. Injuries can be a big setback, and the Broncos will need to find ways to keep Engram on the field.
