Broncos Country reacts to Justin Strnad landing 3-year contract

[ASFN Admin]

The Denver Broncos have continued to show their commitment to home-grown players, and giving them extensions. The latest domino to fall is linebacker Justin Strnad, who agreed to a three-year deal worth $18 million on Sunday morning.

Broncos Country reacted to keeping Strnad, shoring up a linebacker position that has been in limbo since the end of the 2025 season. Check out a sampling of the reactions from Twitter/X below.

The #Broncos are re-signing inside linebacker Justin Strnad, source confirms. It’s a three-year deal worth $18 million ($6 mil yearly), $10 mil guaranteed at signing. @JamesPalmerTV first on it.

Denver brings back a key ILB. Question now is what Broncos do with Alex Singleton.

One of the things Strnad stated in end of year scrum was that he wanted to be a starter — have to think he is one after this deal.

Biggest question now is what will Broncos do. If they re-sign Alex Singleton, what does that mean for Dre Greenlaw?

Important first puzzle for the Broncos at ILB. Will be the fourth contract Strnad has signed with Denver. Didn't play a single defensive snap in 2022 or 2023, but has since developed into a key piece for Vance Joseph's unit with 7.5 sacks the past two seasons. https://t.co/ibkBQEwaEh

With Justin Strnad back in the fold on a three-year, $18 million deal, interesting to see what happens with Alex Singleton the rest of today and also ILB Dre Greenlaw (under contract). Could pay all three and run it back, but no guarantee.

If I’m not mistaken that’s Alex Singleton’s old contract numbers that Justin Strnad is getting from the Broncos.

Justin Strnad’s story is pretty remarkable.

He didn’t play any defensive snaps in 2022 or 2023.

Then due to injuries at the position, started 16 games the past two seasons and really impressed.

He lands his first big deal in the NFL, getting 3 years, $18 million from the…

Is Strnad replacing Singleton?

What does this mean for Dre Greenlaw? Potential cut candidate

Is the door closed on an Alex Singleton reunion?

Love this move! When a guy you developed into a starter turns into that, you pay him! Great move here! https://t.co/OT9w3htqa7

#Broncos GM George Paton made it clear at the Combine that Denver wants Strnad and Singleton both back regardless of a deep draft class at ILB. We’ll see if they can keep Singleton off the market with a deal before tomorrow morning. https://t.co/HBZYncnpQY

Denver wants to keep its LBs together. Strnad back, and Broncos efforting anAlex Singleton deal, too. https://t.co/gbpqUJnPD9

Alex Singleton’s last contract was almost identical. It feels like his next one will be for more, and I know the Broncos want Singleton back as well. Here’s one fan who really wants Alex back in Orange & Blue!@guerillasports#BroncosCountryhttps://t.co/hnaENx9Eojpic.twitter.com/tiPKLerHcw
