Summary
Denver Broncos defensive tackle Tyler Onyedim signs a four-year, $7.38M deal with $1.8M signing bonus — potentially setting a new benchmark for third-rounders demanding guaranteed money. His decision comes amid pressure from QB Carson Beck’s holdout and despite Broncos’ stacked defense limiting his leverage. Other notable third-rounders like Markel Bell and Sam Roush remain unsigned, pushing for better terms. Onyedim, seen as a versatile DL prospect, may be groomed to replace John Franklin-Myers — but must prove himself against established talent. This trend signals a shift in draft negotiations: players are prioritizing financial security early, and the real test is whether Onyedim’s deal becomes the new standard or just a temporary compromise.
