Royce Freeman signs making all Denver Broncos draft picks under contract

Each member of the Broncos’ 10-player draft class is signed after third-round tailback Royce Freeman signed his contract on Thursday.

The 71st overall pick, Freeman’s four-year deal is expected to be worth just under $4 million with a $1 million signing bonus per the league’s slotting system.

Freeman will count $731,829 on this year’s salary cap.

The player drafted right before Freeman – San Francisco linebacker Fred Warner – remains unsigned, but the two players behind Freeman – the New York Jets’ Nathan Shepherd and Miami’s Jerome Baker – had previously signed.

“It felt amazing, just to come in here and sign and be official,” Freeman said on the Broncos’ website.
