ENGLEWOOD, Colo. - Shane Ray, Denver's first-round draft pick, has signed his rookie contract for four years worth approximately $9 million. It includes a signing bonus of nearly $5 million.
Ray practiced with the Broncos for the first time Monday, taking part in on-field individual drills for the first time since sustaining a turf toe injury five months ago.
A linebacker from Missouri, Ray was considered a top-15 pick in the draft but slipped to No. 23 after being cited for marijuana possession that week.
