Sean Payton and the Broncos have an option as an offensive “Joker.”
That’s tight end Evan Engram, who on Wednesday agreed to a two-year deal with Denver. Engram’s agency, Vayner Sports, confirmed the deal.
The agreement is worth $23 million and comes with $16.5 million guaranteed, a source with knowledge of the agreement told The Post. That will slot Engram in as the 10th-highest paid tight end in football based on average annual value.
Engram, 30, dealt with injuries and missed eight games for Jacksonville in 2024. He finished the season with 47 catches, 365 yards and a touchdown.
Before that, though, he had a string of seasons where he showed he could be a dangerous threat in the passing game. Engram put together a career year in 2023, catching 114 passes (143 targets) for 963 yards and four touchdowns.
A 2017 first-round draft pick of the New York Giants, Engram has gone over 700 yards three times in his career and has put together 17-game averages of 78 grabs and 775 yards for his career.
Engram spent all of Monday visiting with the Broncos but left without a contract. Then NFL Network reported that he spent Tuesday visiting with the Los Angeles Chargers. In the end, though, the Broncos won the bidding war between AFC West foes.
