The Denver Broncos have inked former CFL linebacker Alex Singleton to a two-year deal worth $15.5 million, according to a report from beat reporter Zac Stevens.
$11 million of the new deal is guaranteed money. Prior to this contract, Singleton had already earned $20.6 million in the NFL.
Singleton played 16 games during the 2025 regular season, registering 135 total defensive tackles, 54 solo, four passes defended, one sack and one forced fumble. He was a key piece in Denver’s postseason run, forcing a key fumble to propel the team to the AFC Championship game.
The 32-year-old underwent surgery to remove a cancerous tumour in November after a regular NFL drug test flagged unusual hormone levels. He played a game for the Broncos with the knowledge of his illness, then missed just one game before returning to the lineup after the operation. His teammates recently voted him as the recipient of the Ed Block Courage Award.
The six-foot-two, 240-pound linebacker has now spent eight seasons south of the border with the Philadelphia Eagles and Broncos. He’s notched 768 total tackles, 25 tackles for loss, 22 QB hits, 17 pass knockdowns, five sacks, five fumble recoveries, three forced fumbles, and three interceptions, including two returned for touchdowns, in 95 regular-season games.
The Thousand Oaks, Cal., native, who qualified for Canadian citizenship through his mother, played three seasons with the Calgary Stampeders after he was selected sixth overall during the 2016 CFL Draft. He recorded 123 tackles over his final two years and earned two CFL all-star selections along with a Most Outstanding Defensive Player award. Singleton hoisted the Grey Cup in 2018 with the Stamps before taking advantage of his renewed NFL opportunity.
