The 32-year-old joined the Broncos in 2022 as an undrafted free agent after three seasons with the Eagles and has become a steady presence, earning a team captaincy for a second straight season. He has appeared in at least 16 games in three of the last four seasons, underscoring his durability when healthy.
Singleton’s health history has included cancer surgery in November 2023 and a torn ACL in 2024, yet he remained among the defense’s most utilized players, recording 1,000-plus snaps and totaling 53 games since 2022—ranking 10th in combined tackles over that span. His production has come even as injuries and absences limited his availability at times.
On the contract front, Singleton is entering the final year of a three-year, $18 million deal, with career earnings around $20.6 million. Spectators see a potential market value of up to roughly $9.3 million over two years, while Spotrac estimates the Broncos’ cap space at about $20.5 million before further moves.
With Singleton and fellow linebacker Justin Strnad set to become free agents, the position remains among Denver’s longer-term questions. The Broncos could look to the draft for help—names like Georgia’s CJ Allen (Round 1) and Cincinnati’s Jake Golday (Day 2) have drawn interest—as well as internal options such as 2023 third-rounder Drew Sanders and recent UDFAs Jordan Turner, Karene Reid, and Levelle Bailey, all still developing.
Ultimately, the decision on Singleton will influence Denver’s roster planning across the offseason. Replacing a high-volume tackler who has been a constant in the lineup would be a significant adjustment, potentially driving early moves at linebacker or impact where and how aggressively the Broncos pursue depth and future starters.
