Nik Bonitto just earned an insanely cool label after massive extension

The Denver Broncos got a deal done with Nik Bonitto on Thursday, and it actually gives him a pretty cool label.

The Broncos were able to get three deals done with Courtland Sutton, Zach Allen, and Nik Bonitto, and Broncos fans had wondered all offseason if the team would be able to pay all three. Fortunately, they found a way to get it done, and Denver is a better team with all of them in the picture.

This front office and ownership have emerged as some of the best in the NFL in recent years.
