Broncos, Brandon Marshall Agree To $32M Extension

Jun 15, 2016 12:07 PM

The Denver Broncos have agreed to a four-year, $32 million contract extension with Brandon Marshall.

The linebacker said all along he believed contract negotiations would "work out."

The deal, which begins in 2017, includes a $10 million signing bonus, $15 million fully guaranteed and $20 million in potential guarantees overall.

"He's a guy that came here in 2013 and was on Jacksonville's practice squad and just worked his tail off," said John Elway. "We know what kind of defense that we've had, and he's been a big part of that. ... He's really just scratched the surface of what he could do as far as a linebacker."

Jaguars Sign Allen Hurns To Four-Year, $40M Extension

Jun 3, 2016 2:54 PM

The Jacksonville Jaguars have signed Allen Hurns to a four-year, $40 million contract extension.

The contract includes $20 million in guaranteed money for the third-year wide receiver.

"That's the thing about the NFL and I love it: No matter what you did last year they want to see what you can continue to do," Hurns said. "If you have a great year and come out and not play well, they'll forget what you did the year before. That keeps me on the edge."

The deal could be worth up to $11 million per year, including escalators, according to a source.

Hurns was due to make $600,000 in 2016, which was the final year of the three-year deal he signed as an undrafted free agent in 2014.
