The contract numbers for Broncos’ free-agent safety Darian Stewart are in.

Stewart also has $1.75 million in playing-time bonuses. It adds up to where Stewart is getting paid like a player expected to start, but is not assured. His contract:

*$1.5 million signing bonus (full guarantee)
2015 total: $2.25 million (full guarantee)
*750,000 in playing-time incentives

*$1 million can be added to his salary if he reaches playing time thresholds in 2015.
