The Denver Broncos locked up left tackle Ryan Clady on Sunday, signing Peyton Manning's blindside protector to a five-year deal worth a base salary of $52.5 million.
The contract includes at least $33 million guaranteed. In addition, the money in the deal could grow to $57.5 million if Clady is named an All-Pro twice, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Clady was facing a Monday deadline for franchise players to accept long-term deals. Had he not signed by Monday, he would have played under a one-year, $9.823 million deal because of the franchise tag.
Last summer, he rejected a five-year, $50 million offer that included $28 million in guarantees.
