STM Take

Two Pro Bowls (2020, 2023) plus the 114-catch 2023 season plus the Ole Miss 23rd overall draft pedigree establishes Engram as one of the better receiving TEs of his generation. The Denver $23M contract reflects the structural lead-TE investment around Bo Nix. The 2026 question is whether Engram crosses 70 catches in 2026 plus holds tier 5 or better or whether the structural late-career decline closes the chapter.

Engram came out of Ole Miss as the New York Giants' 1st-round pick (23rd overall) in 2017. He made the 2020 Pro Bowl with the Giants plus the 2023 Pro Bowl with the Jaguars after a 114-catch season. He signed a two-year, $23M deal with the Denver Broncos in 2025 free agency to be the lead receiving TE for Bo Nix's offense.

Strengths

  • Two Pro Bowls (2020, 2023) plus the 114-catch 2023 season plus the Ole Miss 23rd overall draft pedigree establishes elite receiving-TE career résumé.
  • Denver $23M contract reflects the front office's view that Engram is the lead receiving-TE for Bo Nix's offense.

Concerns

  • Career STTM volatility plus age 31 puts the late-career structural decline question on every 2026 projection.
  • $14M 2026 cap hit creates moderate contract-value risk if Engram cannot cross 70 catches.

What to watch: Whether Engram crosses 70 catches in 2026 plus holds tier 5 or better, the threshold for confirming the receiving-TE ceiling holds.
