Broncos sign Clady, are 13/2 to win SB
DENVER (AP) – The Denver Broncos locked up left tackle Ryan Clady on Sunday, signing Peyton Manning’s blindside protector to a five-year deal worth up to $57.5 million.
The Broncos and Clady have been at odds over a long-term contract for more than a year. Had he not signed by Monday, he would have played under a one-year, $9.823 million deal because of the franchise tag.
Instead, Clady has a deal that guarantees him at least $33 million and should keep him in Denver through the end of Manning’s playing days.
Clady, a first-round draft pick in 2008, is still recovering from surgery to his right shoulder and is expected to miss the start of training camp, which begins July 25.
According to oddsmakers from online sports book Bovada.lv, the Broncos remain 13/2 to win the 2014 Super Bowl, which are the second-best odds next to the 49ers’ 6/1. The Seahawks, meanwhile, are 8/1 while the Patriots are 9/1 and the Packers are 12/1 to win next season’s NFL title. The Falcons are also 14/1.
