Sources: Safety Kareem Jackson returning to Broncos

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Kareem Jackson, a mainstay in the Denver Broncos' defense for each of the last four seasons, has agreed to terms on a one-year deal to return to the team for a fifth year.

Sources told ESPN the safety's deal was agreed to over the weekend. Terms were not immediately available, but the 35-year-old, signed a one-year deal worth $2 million to return for the 2022 season last spring.

Broncos general manager George Paton said during this year's draft that conversations with Jackson's representatives were "ongoing'' and would continue.

Jackson, who was a first-round pick by the Houston Texans in 2010, said earlier this offseason he wanted to return to the Broncos and, "I hope it works out, we'll see where they are with the new staff and if there's a fit.
