Broncos Player Patrick Surtain II Secures $96 Million Extension And Becomes Highest-Paid Defensive Back Ever

The Denver Broncos have seen several high-paid players join its ranks, but none has been offered as valuable an extension contract as defensive back Patrick Surtain II, who just signed a four-year extension with a guarantee of $77.5 million.

The Broncos struck gold when Surtain (No. 9) joined the team in 2021. And now, with less than a week before the 2024 season-opening game, his future with the team has been confirmed.

Patrick Surtain II and the Denver Broncos have agreed to a four-year deal worth $96 million, of which $77.5 million is guaranteed, according to CBS’ NFL insider, Jonathan Jones.

This new contract extension has secured Surtain the spot as the highest-paid defensive back to ever play in the NFL.

His average annual value (AAV) surpassed that of the legendary Jaire Alexander, cornerback for the Green Bay Packers.

Alexander had an AAV of $21 million per year, while Surtain’s new contract sets his AAV at $24 million per year.

The current highest-paid safety is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Antoine Winfield Jr., who signed an $84.1 million four-year deal during the off-season. His AAV is therefore $21.025 million per year.
