Excitement is sweeping through Broncos Country as star tight end Evan Engram has officially announced his return for the 2025-26 NFL season, silencing months of speculation about his future. With one bold statement—“I’m not going anywhere”—Engram has reaffirmed his commitment to the Denver Broncos, igniting energy within the team and its loyal fanbase.
The announcement comes after a season filled with ups and downs, in which Engram proved to be a critical offensive weapon for Denver. His chemistry with quarterback Bo Nix continued to develop, and his versatility as both a receiving threat and a blocker helped anchor Sean Payton’s evolving offensive scheme. Engram’s decision to stay, despite free agency interest from several teams, is being seen as a major win for the Broncos organization.
Head Coach Sean Payton responded to the news with enthusiasm, stating, “Evan brings toughness, leadership, and elite playmaking to our locker room. He’s a difference-maker. We’ve got big plans for him next season, and I’ve promised we’ll continue building the offense around his strengths.” Payton emphasized that Engram’s presence will be pivotal to unlocking the full potential of the team’s offensive core.
Engram, 30, joined the Broncos in 2024 and quickly became one of the team’s most reliable targets. In his first season with Denver, he posted 71 receptions, 843 yards, and six touchdowns, earning Pro Bowl honors and the respect of teammates and fans alike. His ability to stretch the field and create mismatches against linebackers and safeties gave Denver a dynamic edge they had been missing for years.
“I love this city, I love this team, and I believe in what we’re building here,” Engram said during a press conference at team headquarters. “There’s something special happening in this locker room, and I want to be a part of it.”
The Broncos are heading into the 2025 offseason with renewed optimism. With Engram returning, a young and improving quarterback under center, and a retooled offensive line, Denver appears poised to make a serious playoff push. Fans can expect Sean Payton to continue crafting creative schemes that maximize Engram’s talents and give defenses nightmares.
As Engram gears up for another year in orange and blue, one thing is clear: the Broncos are ready to make noise in the AFC—and their star tight end is all in.
