Denver Broncos finalizing deal with offensive lineman Russell Okung

BSN Denver has confirmed the Broncos are finalizing an agreement with Free Agent offensive lineman Russell Okung.

Sources tell me that OT Russell Okung is close to finalizing a 5-year deal with the Denver #Broncos worth $10.6M per year.

Okung’s deal is worth $53 million over 5 years. This limits the chances of Ryan Clady remaining in Denver after the two sides haven’t been able to work out a restructure of his contract. The Broncos will likely try to trade the longest tenured Bronco before cutting him.

Okung is entering his 7th year in the NFL and has started 72 games in 6 seasons with the Seahawks. With the addition of Okung the Broncos will have some flexibility with how the rest of the offensive line will shake out.

This gives the Broncos two new tackles and would shift Sambrailo inside heading into his second season.
