The Broncos are starting to get their 10-person draft class under contract just days before rookies are scheduled to report to the team facility for COVID-19 testing.
Here is a tracker of the activities:
Wednesday
*Third-round defensive end McTelvin Agim agreed to terms with the Broncos, a source confirmed.
Agim’s deal is projected to be worth $4,533,988 over four years with $857,270 as a signing bonus and a 2020 cap number of $824,317.
Agim was selected No. 95 overall, the Broncos’ third pick of the third round after cornerback Michael Ojemudia and center Lloyd Cushenberry.
Agim had 148 tackles and 14 1/2 sacks in 49 games (40 starts) for Arkansas.
When the Broncos enter camp, Agim will vie for playing time behind starters Jurrell Casey and Shelby Harris.
*Seventh-round outside linebacker Derrek Tuszka and the Broncos agreed to terms on a four-year contract.
The Broncos’ final selection (No. 254 overall, used with a compensatory pick), Tuszka’s contract will be worth $3,370,490 ($75,490 signing bonus) and carry a 2020 cap number of $628,872.
The 24-year-old will move from defensive end at North Dakota State to outside linebacker for the Broncos. He will compete with Malik Reed and Justin Hollins for a roster spot behind Bradley Chubb, Von Miller and Jeremiah Attaochu.
Tuszka (6-5/246) totaled 133 tackles and 29 1/2 sacks for NDSU.
*Fourth-round tight end Albert Okwuegbunam agreed to terms with the Broncos on a four-year contract.
Drafted No. 118 overall, Okwuegbunam’s contract is slotted at $4,044,042 ($749,042 signing bonus) and a 2020 cap hit of $797,260.
Listed at 6-foot-5 and 258 pounds, Okwuegbunam played 33 games for Missouri (24 starts), catching 98 passes for 1,187 yards and 23 touchdowns. He left the Tigers’ program after his fourth-year junior season.
Okwuegbunam played 2017-18 with current Broncos quarterback Drew Lock, catching 17 touchdown passes.
On the Broncos, Okwuegbunam could end up being the No. 3 tight end behind Noah Fant and Nick Vannett (Andrew Beck is a hybrid fullback-tight end).
