Wil Lutz contract extension: Broncos kicker signed through 2028 season
The Broncos and kicker Wil Lutz have agreed to contract terms on a three-year extension, a source confirmed on Friday.
Lutz has been especially clutch in his ninth NFL season and third year playing in Denver.
Lutz was named AFC special teams player of the week on Wednesday after tying a career-high five made field goals on five attempts in a 22-19 win over the Chiefs. It marked his third walk-off field goal winner this season.
“He had a great night. I saw it in New Orleans, that’s why he’s here,” coach Sean Payton said following the huge division victory.
Lutz, 31, began his NFL career under Payton with the Saints as an undrafted tryout. He played six years in New Orleans prior to being traded to the Broncos in 2023. Lutz made 17 of 20 field goals this season, entering the bye week, and converted all 24 of his extra-point attempts.
Lutz was set to hit free agency after 2025 but will now be under contract with the Broncos through the 2028 NFL season. The Broncos (9-2) face the Washington Commanders on Nov. 30 following their bye week.
