The Denver Broncos agreed to a three-year deal worth an estimated $45 million with former Pro Bowl safety Talanoa Hufanga, according to multiple reports.
Hufanga will reportedly receive $20 million in guaranteed funds.
Hufanga, 26, spent his first four NFL seasons with the San Francisco 49ers. He had a huge 2022 season in which he earned first-team All-Pro honors and was selected to the Pro Bowl after recording 97 tackles, four interceptions (one for a touchdown), two forced fumbles and two sacks.
Hufanga had three interceptions in 10 games in 2023 before sustaining an ACL tear in his right knee in a November game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
He missed the first two games of the 2024 season while completing his recovery from the ACL injury. But his bad fortune continued when he tore ligaments in his wrist during a game against the Arizona Cardinals on Oct. 6.
Hufanga returned later in the campaign but played in just seven games and had 38 tackles.
A fifth-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Hufanga has 219 tackles and seven interceptions in 49 games (37 starts).
Denver formally announced that it re-signed backup quarterback Jarrett Stidham to a two-year deal.
On Sunday night, the Denver Post reported that the deal is worth up to $12 million with $7 million guaranteed.
