ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- And on the last day of their mandatory minicamp, the Denver Broncos formally put a bow on their 2016 draft class as quarterback Paxton Lynch signed his deal.
Lynch, the Broncos' first-round pick -- the team traded up five spots, from No. 31 to No. 26, to select him -- was the only unsigned draft pick before Thursday.
Lynch's agent, Leigh Steinberg, was at the Broncos' suburban Denver facility Thursday afternoon, and the quarterback formally signed the contract following the team's final practice of a three-day mandatory minicamp. The four-year deal, with a fifth-year option (the Broncos hold the option and must decide whether to engage it after Lynch's third year), includes a signing bonus of $5.
