Broncos general manager John Elway’s message regarding a possible contract extension for cornerback Chris Harris remained consistent Tuesday: Contract talks won’t begin until after this weekend’s NFL draft.
“I don’t have time right now,” Elway said during his predraft news conference. “We’re busy with the draft.”
That response didn’t sit well with Harris’ camp.
Late Tuesday night, ESPN, citing a league source, said Harris has requested a “new contract or a trade.” Harris has stayed away from the offseason program because he wants a new contract, but the story took a new turn with a trade demand.
