The Denver Broncos signed cornerback Dre' Bly to a five-year, $33 million contract Wednesday.

The deal includes $18 million in bonus money, $16 million guaranteed.

The signing should end any speculation Bly wouldn't report to the Broncos.

Neither Bly nor his agent, Kennard McGuire was available for comment.

Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan told the Denver Post that Bly initially wasn't happy when traded to Denver from the Detroit Lions, but he believes Bly will be happy with the Broncos.

Wednesday, March 28

Ending weeks of speculation about whether he could be traded for a second time this offseason, Denver cornerback Dre' Bly reached an agreement in principle with the Broncos on a five-year, $33 million deal that includes $16 million in guaranteed money. Bly is expected to report to the Broncos' offseason training program Monday in Denver, whereas there previously had been questions about whether he would be there. But in the past 24 hours, contract talks between Bly and the Broncos escalated to the point where an agreement was struck Wednesday morning. Other teams such as the New Orleans Saints that thought they could perhaps pry loose Bry from Denver now will have to focus on other cornerbacks to help their teams.

Sweet. Got the leagues best tandem of CB's locked up for multiple years. Now just need a cover safety and a d-line (assuming we keep wilson).
