Chris Harris signs long-term deal with Denver Broncos

By , Reporter
Chris Harris signs a five-year deal with the Denver Broncos to keep him at the club until the end of the 2019 season with the contract worth a reported $42.5m.

The Denver Broncos have signed cornerback Chris Harris to a new-long term deal with the club.

The 25-year-old was scheduled to be out of contract in March, but the Broncos have moved to keep one of their top performers away from the free-agent market.

Harris has signed a five-year deal with John Fox's side worth a reported $42.5m [£27m], with $24m [£15.2m] of the contract guaranteed.

"It's been a great year and it's been a crazy year," Harris told The AP. "It started with me tearing my ACL, a very low point in my career. And now it's just amazing how I feel right now."

The defensive back has recorded 44 tackles, one sack and three interceptions for the Broncos this season.
