Bailey might end up being the big winner as he has stepped up with Singleton sidelined. And while Payton does not seem alarmed about the state of the LB room, the team did sign veteran Garret Wallow to shore up their depth. If all goes well -- knock on wood, as Payton said -- Greenlaw and Singleton will be ready for Week 1.

Sutton was drafted by the Denver Broncos in the 2018 NFL Draft and is now on his third contract with the team. Allen has now earned his second with the team. It's definitely been an offseason to remember for the Broncos and the front office as they try to vault to contention.

Singleton, a fellow veteran starter coming off a 2024 ACL tear, suffered a broken thumb on Monday that was expected to keep him sidelined for about a week. He underwent corrective surgery but, like Greenlaw, has since been seen at Broncos Park.
