It's a major commitment from the Broncos with Demaryius and Julius Thomas in contract years. Harris has put together a breakout season opposite Aqib Talib, grading out as PFF's No. 1 overall corner. The total value will place him among the top-six highest paid cornerbacks in the league. Harris is now signed through the 2019 season.

Bay 2,003 Posted December 13, 2014 What a deal. Harris could have gotten more. Nice to see. https://twitter.com/PFF_Pete/status/543552409633845248 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FartWaffles 1,857 Posted December 13, 2014 I like it when the undrafted guys make it big. I'm always rooting for those guys to succeed. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

theMileHighGuy 656 Posted December 13, 2014 Crazy deal. John Elway wins. Don't be surprised if this isn't the last hometown discount contract from now through the off-season. Von Miller, D. Thomas, and J. Thomas need contracts, among others. John will get em done. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted December 13, 2014 Even with discounts, do the Broncos have the money to sign them all? Not being sarcastic, seriously asking. I mean even if you take a discount, you still aren't going to completely bend over for the team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch 874 Posted December 13, 2014 Yeah, I don't see the Broncos having enough cap to be able to sign all of those guys. Either D.T or Julius Thomas may hit the free agent market. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theMileHighGuy 656 Posted December 13, 2014 If Manning doesn't retire this year, he'll be restructured to get some of his money off the books, I'm almost sure of it. D.T. definitely isn't going anywhere, but I don't think Elway will overpay for a one-dimensional tight end, especially no 10 million a year like you see Jimmy Graham get. A long 6-7 mil/yr contract like Gronk has is doable though. CHJ took 10-15 million less than he could of gotten. Von's is actually up after next year too, when Manning should be finally off the books. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
