Denver Broncos cornerback Chris Harris Jr. was a no-show for the team’s first voluntary OTA with new head coach Vic Fangio at the helm, and Harris’ motivation is clear — he wants a new contract.
Understandably so.
Harris is due $7.8 million this year in base salary and counts just over $8.766 million on the Broncos’ cap in 2019.
His salary ranks him 24th in the NFL among cornerbacks, and we know there’s no universe in which Harris is the 24th-best cornerback in the NFL, which is why he’s not showing up to voluntary OTAs.
He wants (and deserves) a new contract.
