Broncos agree with All-Pro CB Pat Surtain II on 4-year, $96 million contract extension, sources say

The Brink’s truck is rolling to Pat Surtain II’s crib.

The Broncos signed the All-Pro cornerback on a four-year contract extension, the Broncos announced Wednesday. Multiple sources told The Post that the extension makes Surtain the highest-paid defensive back in NFL history and further cementing him as cornerstone of the franchise for the foreseeable future.

Surtain’s deal is worth $96 million, with $77.5 guaranteed. He will earn an average of $24 million per year, surpassing Green Bay’s Jaire Alexander ($21 million), Atlanta’s AJ Terrell ($20.25 million) and Cleveland’s Denzel Ward ($20.1 million) in average annual compensation.

In July, Denver locked down starting right guard Quinn Meinerz long term, signing the big belly lineman to a four-year extension worth up to $80 million.

Surtain became Denver’s highest draft pick under general manager George Paton when the team selected him ninth overall in 2021. Since then, Surtain has cemented himself as one of the top cornerbacks in the league, starting in 49 of 50 games, totaling 170 tackles, 36 passes defended and seven interceptions.

As a rookie, Surtain started in 15 games, recording 14 passes defended and four picks while allowing a 61.3 passer rating. He followed that up with an impressive sophomore campaign that saw him become the youngest player in Broncos history to make first-team All-Pro.

Last season, he earned his second Pro Bowl nod after he collected 69 tackles and 12 passes defended while holding opposing quarterbacks to a 88.2 passer rating.

A contract extension had been looming over Surtain since the completion of his third year in the league. Surtain made it clear multiple times during the offseason that he wanted to be in Denver long term, as did the Broncos, who picked up his fifth-year option in March.

“Year after year, I’m just trying to get to that next level. I would love to be here for that,” Surtain told The Denver Post.
