  • Broncos' P.J. Locke: Staying with Broncos

    Locke and the Broncos agreed on a two-year, $7 million contract with a maximum value of $9 million Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Locke had a career year in 2023, recording 53 tackles, including 3.0 sacks, while intercepting a pass, deflecting five others and forcing two fumbles over 12 contests with Denver. The 27-year-old is the frontrunner to operate as the Broncos' starting strong safety in 2024.

  • Broncos' P.J. Locke: Tallies 53 tackles in 2023

    Locke made 53 tackles (33 solo) including three sacks, defended five passes with one interception, and forced two fumbles while playing 12 games in 2023.

    Locke set career highs in tackles, sacks, passes defended and interceptions. With fellow safety Kareem Jackson serving two suspensions during the season, Locke was thrust into a starting role for several games and made the most of his opportunities. The 27-year-old will enter free agency this offseason, but the Broncos could offer him a new contract based on his performance in 2023 and the fact that they waived Jackson before the end of the season.

  • Broncos' P.J. Locke: Records nine stops in Week 16 loss

    Locke totaled nine tackles (five solo) Sunday in a loss to New England.

    Locked play all 56 of Denver's defensive snaps Sunday and recorded a season-high nine stops. Kareem Jackson completed his four-game suspension ahead of the contest, but the Broncos chose not to activate him and then elected to waive him Monday. That should lock Locke into a starting safety role alongside Justin Simmons for the remainder of the campaign.

  • Broncos' P.J. Locke: Productive against Browns

    Locke recorded seven tackles (five solo), one sack, one pass defended and one forced fumble in Sunday's 29-12 win over the Browns.

    Locke's seven total tackles were a season-high, and his sack and forced fumble were both firsts for him in the 2023 campaign. The veteran safety saw increased playing time with Kareem Jackson out for the game due to a suspension. With Jackson's suspension continuing for the next three games, Locke should continue to operate as Denver's starting strong safety. The 26-year-old will look to build off this momentum when the Broncos visit the Texans in Week 13.

  • Broncos' P.J. Locke: Iffy for Week 12

    Locke (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns.

    Locke was able to upgrade to a full participant for Friday's practice, which indicates that he's on track to make his return after sitting out Week 11.
