| 0:00.0 | Nick Benito gets paid by the Broncos, a massive extension breaking this morning where |
| 0:09.4 | Nick Benito lands a four-year, $106 million extension, up to $12020 million, with $7 million |
| 0:19.7 | guaranteed in the words of George Pay peyton nick benito holy |
| 0:23.6 | f and we have a new meeting now henry for lfb let's fricking benito baby broncos with another |
| 0:33.8 | massive extension yeah no it's uh it's exciting to see. Getting Nick Benito to stick |
| 0:42.7 | around is definitely a good thing. You know, the people out there who say he doesn't defend the |
| 0:47.2 | run and so what's he really worth? And the answer is, first of all, he's still developing as a player. |
| 0:51.8 | He wasn't even a starter at this time a year ago. So the idea that he could get better in any way should not be a surprise. But on top of that, he does the thing that's hard to find. And that's get to the quarterback, and not just get to the quarterback, but get to the quarterback fast. He's one of the guys who gets around the edge quickly, can get sacked on quarterbacks who typically do get the ball out in less than three seconds, |

| 1:46.7 | He was set to make $5 million this year. Now this is life-changing money, not just for him, but for, you know, his lineage, $70 million guaranteed. |
| 1:56.6 | So right there, that's a win for him. Gets $26.5 million on average over the next four years after this extension kicks in, |
| 2:04.6 | up to $30 million with some incentives there. |
| 2:07.6 | But Henry, that's a ton of money, obviously. |
| 2:10.7 | That's not much in the edge market right now. |
| 2:14.8 | This is a massive win for the Broncos because Henry, Nick Benito is now |
| 2:18.6 | the 10th highest paid edge rusher in the NFL. This is a guy that was in the conversation to be the |
