Denver Broncos News: Does Demaryius Thomas' New Contract Keep Denver In Contention?

They waited up until the final few hours, but the Denver Broncos came to terms with No. 1 receiver Demaryius Thomas Wednesday on a five-year, $70 million contract with $43.5 million guaranteed. Unless Denver and Thomas had reached a deal before 4 p.m. ET, per league rules any more talks would be tabled until the end of the season and Thomas would likely play under the $12.8 million franchise tag.
