Broncos' Justin Strnad: Inks new deal with Denver
Strnad agreed to a three-year, $18 million contract with the Broncos on Sunday, James Palmer of The Athletic reports.
Strnad was drafted by Denver in the fifth round of the 2020 Draft and signed a one-year, $2.79 million deal to stay with the team last offseason. After spending three seasons as a core special teamer, the 29-year-old has emerged as a significant contributor on defense with 16 starts in 33 regular-season games over the last two years, tallying 131 tackles and 7.5 sacks over that span. Strnad should retain a consistent role behind starting inside linebackers Alex Singleton and Dre Greenlaw in 2026.

Broncos' Justin Strnad: Career-best numbers in 2025
Strnad recorded 58 tackles (23 solo), including 4.5 sacks, and three passes defensed, including one interception, across 16 regular-season games with Denver in 2025.
Strnad finished his fifth season with Denver, recording career highs in sacks, passes defensed and interceptions. The 29-year-old linebacker saw ample playing time this season, as fellow linebacker Dre Greenlaw missed multiple games this season due to injury. Strnad will be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and his high level of play should make him an attractive option for teams around the league looking to bolster their linebacker corps.

Strnad was unable to play in Sunday's loss to the Jaguars due to a foot injury.

Strnad (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Broncos' Justin Strnad: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Strnad (foot) did not practice Wednesday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.
Strnad was removed from the Broncos' Week 15 win over the Packers aftering injuring his right ankle and did not return. He's opened Week 16 prep with a DNP due to a listed foot issue, and he'll have two more opportunities to practice and have a chance at playing Sunday against the Jaguars. Strnad has seen his playing time on defense decrease since mid-October after Dre Greenlaw was activated from injured reserve, so the former has worked mostly in a rotational role on defense and as a contributor on special teams.

Strnad (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Packers, James Palmer of The Athletic reports.
