The Denver Broncos have signed third-round defensive tackle Tyler Onyedim to his rookie contract, completing the NFL club's 2026 draft-class paperwork before training camp.
Mile High Report reported Monday, citing The Denver Post's Luca Evans, that Onyedim agreed to a four-year deal worth $7.39 million with a $1.83 million signing bonus. Denver selected him No. 66 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Onyedim Finishes Broncos Rookie Class
The signing matters mostly because it removes the last unsigned draft pick from Denver's board. The report said Onyedim was the final member of the Broncos' 2026 rookie class left to sign, putting the full group under contract before camp logistics become actual football.
Onyedim was Denver's first selection of the draft after a small trade back that gave the Broncos an extra sixth-round pick. Mile High Report listed him at 6-foot-3 and 292 pounds with 34-inch arms, profiling him as an interior lineman built to attack one gap rather than sit still and absorb double teams all afternoon.
The available reports do not make him an immediate starter, and the article should not either. The practical news is narrower: Denver now has its third-round defensive tackle signed and available to compete for a rotational role on the defensive front.
Texas A&M Year Closed College Run
Onyedim played four seasons at Iowa State before transferring to Texas A&M for his final college year. Across 53 college games, Mile High Report credited him with 138 tackles, 20.5 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks and one forced fumble.
His final season at Texas A&M produced 48 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss and 2.5 sacks, according to the same report. Those numbers are modest by highlight-package standards but useful for a defensive tackle whose profile is tied to quickness, leverage and gap penetration more than sack totals.
Draft analyst Dane Brugler ranked Onyedim as the No. 74 overall player and seventh defensive tackle in the class, according to Mile High Report. The scouting note attached to him was not star polish; it was reliability, balance and the need to keep developing counter moves against NFL blockers.
Denver's next checkpoint is simple enough: padded practices. The contract is done, the rookie class is signed, and Onyedim can now be judged on whether his college traits travel into a Broncos defensive-line rotation that still has real snaps to sort out.
