Matt Peart wanted to remain in Denver badly enough that he was willing to take less money to do it.
The Broncos offensive lineman agreed to a restructured contract that cuts his salary by $1.5 million, according to Spotrac. The new one-year, $2 million deal includes $755,000 in guaranteed money and frees up $1.58 million in cap space for Denver.
Peart had been entering the second year of a two-year contract that carried a $3.075 million base salary and a $425,000 roster bonus.
The 18-year-old is currently working his way back from a torn MCL suffered in October against the Jets. Remarkably, Peart finished that game after suffering the injury on just the third play. It was his only start of the season, filling in at left guard for Ben Powers, who landed on injured reserve with a biceps injury.
Now entering his seventh NFL season and second with the Broncos, Peart has appeared in 66 games with 10 starts throughout his career. He provides valuable depth along the offensive line, capable of playing multiple positions when called upon.
The move gives Denver additional flexibility as the team continues building its roster for the 2025 season.
