It was little more than a formality, but the Broncos will have their starting center Matt Paradis under contract in 2017.
Paradis, receiver Jordan Taylor and long snapper Casey Kreiter officially signed their exclusive rights tenders placing them under contract for the 2017 season. Each tender is a one-year deal worth $615,000.
Five other Broncos — running back Kapri Bibbs, outside linebacker Shaquil Barrett, receiver Bennie Fowler, center James Ferentz and inside linebacker Zaire Anderson — were tenders as exclusive rights free agents but they hadn’t officially signed their deal yet.
