The Broncos have a brand new left tackle.
If you try to play hardball with John Elway, he will call your bluff, replace you and move on.
This is seemingly what has happened to Ryan Clady, after being unwilling to take the pay-cut the Denver Broncos were offering after spending nearly two seasons on injured reserve. In response, Elway has signed Pro Bowl LT Russell Okung to a five-year deal that could be worth up to $53 million.
The Russell Okung deal is actually structured as a one-year, $5m deal with a team option for the final four years at $12m per year.
