Here are the contract details for Michael Burton’s one-year deal with the Denver Broncos.

The Denver Broncos continued their shift to a run-oriented offense next season as they added full back Michael Burton on a one-year deal in free agency this week. Burton played for Sean Payton as a member of the New Orleans Saints in 2020 and was with the Kansas City Chiefs last season.

According to Spotrac, the Broncos gave Burton a one-year deal worth $1,317,500. It’s a pretty straight-forward contract and just a one year deal.

For me, this signing just hammered home the massive shift in offensive philosophy Sean Payton has begun. Three run-heavy offensive linemen and a fullback, plus there were reports he went hard after Allen Lazard who is also known as a strong run blocker. The offensive identity is definitely coming to fruition and free agency just began.

How do you feel about this signing? Let’s discuss in the comments below and definitely vote in our poll. I’ll be looking to recap those results and the results of the rest of the players in the coming days.
