ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Broncos have retained a veteran player on their offense.

Denver re-signed tight end Adam Trautman to a three-year contract, the team announced Monday.

Trautman has spent the last three seasons with the Broncos, appearing in all 54 possible games across the regular season and playoffs and starting 40 contests with Denver in that span. In addition to serving as a key contributor in the run game, Trautman has caught 55 passes for 587 yards and six touchdowns in regular-season action for the Broncos.

He has played at least 50 percent of the Broncos' offensive snaps in each of the last three seasons, including 57 percent in 2025.

The 2020 third-round pick originally joined the Broncos via a trade during the 2023 NFL Draft. Before arriving in Denver, he played three seasons with the Saints from 2020-22.

Trautman is the second Broncos player to officially re-sign with the team in recent days, joining offensive lineman Alex Palczewski.
