And Then There Were None; Ryan Clady Signs, Broncos Roster Complete

by John Bena on Jul 25, 2008 7:04 AM MDT in Roster Moves Comment 6 comments

As is being reported everywhere, including a FanPost, Ryan Clady has signed his contract and will report for his first day of work on time.

The marathon, all-night session concluded with the deal being reached about an hour before Broncos were to begin training camp by reporting for physicals at 6 a.m. this morning.

The parameters of the deal would include guarantees of between $10.7 million and $11 million and an option for the rookie left tackle to void after his fifth season providing he meets certain playing time incentives.

The Broncos have made a habit of getting all of their draft picks signed on time, though it seems to go all the way to the last minute.

With Clady signed all 80 of the players on the Broncos roster are ready to get it on. Here's to a great season. Let the QUEST begin!

And NOW....

We wait for Goodell’s decision on Marshall next week and it’s football from here on out people!!! This is the best part. Everyone starts out healthy, no holdouts, no arguments, no bad headlines—let’s get this season started!

"...The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming.."

Clady Signing

This is great news to here, no holdouts is always cause for celebration. For what it is worth yesterday i took a shot at predicting his contract and i got it rather close. This is from yesterday at 12:03 pm:

This is just speculation but i think we should expect Clady to sign a 5 year deal worth about 18-19 million with about 11 million guarenteed.

Go Broncos!

Did anyone notice...

This was a great deal.

The 2006 #12 pick (QB Cutler) got a 6yr $47Mil deal
The 2007 #17 Pick (DE Moss) got a 5yr $15Mil deal
The 2008 #11 Pick (OT Clady) got a 5yr $14.7Mil deal that can become a 6yr $17.5Mil deal

I cannot believe he is going to make less than Moss over the first 5 years of the deal … although his guaranteed money is more ($11Mil compared to $8Mil for Moss).

The guys before and after Clady made:
#14 (OT Williams) got a $13Mil deal ($9 Mil guaranteed)
#15 (OT Albert) signed too, but I can’t find his numbers
#17 (OT Cherilus) got a $15Mil deal ($9 Mil guaranteed)

But put it all together and we got a good deal.

Go So Cal. I am the bigger one.
