Grade Denver Broncos sign TE Dallen Bentley
Your grade joins the crowd-sourced Fan Verdict.
Denver adds a rookie tight end on a modest contract, a low-risk depth move. Multiple outlets cover Bentley's arrival and enthusiasm for joining Sean Payton's system. The college reunion factor signals organizational familiarity, but Bentley remains unproven at the NFL level. Fans view this as a developmental prospect rather than an immediate contributor or starter. Broncos prioritize building depth while evaluating if Bentley can develop into a reliable option.
**Denver Broncos Sign TE Dallen Bentley** The Denver Broncos have signed tight end Dallen Bentley to a deal worth $1.1M annually, earning a C+ grade from the Contract Value Index (CVI). This signing represents solid value for a developmental tight end at the league minimum tier, positioning Bentley as depth behind the Broncos' established starters. At $1.1M AAV, Denver is making a low-risk investment in a player who profiles as a special teams contributor with upside potential in offensive packages. The C+ rating reflects appropriate market pricing for a backup tight end with room to grow within the organization's system. This move gives the Broncos affordable depth at a position where injuries frequently create opportunities for increased playing time and production.
