Former All-Pro safety Talanoa Hufanga has agreed to terms on a three-year contract worth up to $45 million with the Denver Broncos, league sources confirmed to The Athletic. The deal includes $20 million in guarantees.
Hufanga, the No. 16 player on The Athletic’s list of the top 150 NFL free agents, was among several big-name starters to miss extended time amid the San Francisco 49ers’ disappointing 6-11 campaign in 2024. The 26-year-old played seven total games after missing the first two games of the season while recovering from a torn ACL suffered in November 2023. Hufanga later missed seven consecutive games due to a concussion and torn wrist ligaments.
I think it is important to note for a lot of people who may not be familiar with Hufanga (which I know we all are but incase anyone has forgotten) after year two he appeared to be a rising star and elite S... Then he got injured the last two years. If he can get healthy this S tandem is gonna be great.
