Breaking News: Denver Broncos Confirm To Agree Deal To Sign Super Bowl Hero…

The two recent additions to the Broncos have the following contracts.

Over the course of one week, the Denver Broncos are expected to have added two linebackers to their 90-man offseason roster.

Linebacker Andre Smith was signed by the Broncos to a one-year contract last week. During mandatory minicamp, Smith beat out six other players who were competing for a contract to try out for the squad.

Smith, a 6-0, 240-pound player, has participated in 62 games, mostly as a special teams player. Aaron Wilson of KPRC-TV reports that the value of his one-year contract is $1.125 million. The NFL’s Veteran Salary Benefit regulation means that Smith will have a $985,000 salary hit in 2024.

Dondrea Tillman, a defensive lineman and pass rusher with the Birmingham Stallions, and Denver also reached a three-year agreement on Wednesday. Although Tillman passed his physical, his release from the UFL contract is required before the contract is finalized. Apparently that’s only a formality, so Tillman can sign on Thursday.

According to Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette, Tillman’s three-year contract is valued at $2.83 million, or $795,000 in 2024, $960,000 in 2025, and $1,075,000 in 2026. For a UFL player, that’s an amazing bargain, but the only thing that’s guaranteed is Tillman’s $10,000 signing bonus.

Three seasons and three championships later, Tillman (6-3, 270 pounds) was a member of the Stallions (two in the USFL and one in the UFL). At the age of 26, he will now get his first opportunity in the NFL.
