The Denver Broncos are declining OT Garett Bolles‘ fifth-year option for the 2021 season, according to Mike Klis.
The fifth-year option was guaranteed for injury only and wouldn’t have prevented them from negotiating a contract extension in the coming months. It was projected to cost them $11,064,000 for the 2021 season.
Bolles, 27, is a former first-round pick by the Broncos in the 2017 NFL Draft out of Utah. He’s entering the final year of his four-year, $11,031,904 rookie contract and is set to earn a base salary of $1,969,351 in 2020.
In 2019, Bolles appeared in all 16 games and was rated by Pro Football Focus as the No. 18 overall offensive tackle out of 79 qualifying players.
