Michael Burton is set to return to the Denver Broncos on a one-year contract, marking his third season with the team and 11th overall in the NFL. At 33, Burton will continue to play a significant role in the Broncos' offense and special teams, where he has been effective, accounting for a notable percentage of offensive snaps and excelling in special teams play. He has become a key player for head coach Sean Payton, having worked with him since 2020 when they were together with the New Orleans Saints. This re-signing is part of the Broncos' strategy to retain important players from the previous season.
