The Broncos’ rookie class will be on the field Friday for minicamp and more continue to agree to their first professional contracts.
Fifth-round cornerback Kris Abrams-Draine is the latest, as a source confirmed to The Denver Post on Thursday that Abrams-Draine and the team had agreed to terms on his four-year rookie contract.
Abrams-Draine was selected No. 145 overall last month, two spots ahead of running back Audric Estime. He logged four interceptions and 15 passes defensed in 2023 at Missouri and earned a first-team All-SEC selection and second-team All-American honors.
The slot value for Abrams-Draine’s draft position is a four-year contract worth $4.37 million. It comes with a $348,264 signing bonus. Abrams-Draine will carry a 2024 salary cap charge of $882,066.
He follows a trio of Day 3 picks that agreed to contract terms Wednesday, including Estime, seventh-round receiver Devaughn Vele and seventh-round offensive lineman Nick Gargiulo.
The three remaining unsigned draft picks are Denver’s top three: First-round quarterback Bo Nix, third-round edge rusher Jonah Elliss and fourth-round wide receiver Troy Franklin.
