AFC Notes: Broncos, Chiefs, Raiders

Broncos

  • Broncos GM George Paton said that they were negotiating with Seahawks GM John Schneider for at least a month: โ€œThe fact that this did not leak โ€” we had a month of negotiations between [General Manager] John [Schneider] and I and it didnโ€™t leak. Itโ€™s a credit to John and a credit to the Seahawks, the Broncos, and Russ and his team.โ€ (ProFootballTalk)
  • Paton says that the team is open to extension talks with Wilson: โ€œWe are getting low with cap. But have room to be doing some things. We are open to extension talks. We didnโ€™t make this trade not to have him here for a long time.โ€ (Troy Renck)
  • Paton also commented on the Broncos situation at right tackle: โ€œWeโ€™re going to continue to add to the offensive line in free agency or the draft.โ€ (Ryan Oโ€™Halloran)
  • Gregory continued to comment on what would work for him in Denver, as his past issues lead some to question his commitment: โ€œI wanted to go somewhere where I was wanted and valued in my personal and professional space. Some things have worked. Some things havenโ€™t sustained. I have tried and kept trying. Parents lived in Texas with me for the last three years. I think it works with smaller inner circle. โ€ฆ I had to want it to myself.โ€ (Renck)
  • Broncos OT Tom Comptonโ€˜s one-year, $2.25 million deal includes a $400,000 signing bonus, $1.09 million of his $1.595 million base salary if guaranteed, can earn $225,000 in per-game roster bonuses, and a $250,000 playoffs incentive. (Aaron Wilson)

Chiefs

  • Mike Jones reports that Chiefs WR Tyreek Hillโ€˜s contract talks with the team have been unsuccessful, as the Raiders deal with WR Davante Adams is changing the negotiations.
  • The Chiefsโ€™ new deal with OL Andrew Wylie is for one year at $2.537 million fully guaranteed and includes a $152,500 signing bonus. (Aaron Wilson)

Raiders

  • According to Ian Rapoport, the agents of Davante Adams confirmed that the Packers โ€œoffered more moneyโ€ than Las Vegas did, but Adamsโ€™ โ€œlifelong dreamโ€ was to play for the Raiders.
  • Jeff Howe reports veteran CB Stephon Gilmore has not received an offer from the Raiders and discussions โ€œhave been minimal to this point.โ€ This comes after Las Vegas was said to be making a push for the cornerback. 
  • Tashan Reed also reported that the Raiders were not on the verge of signing Gilmore and it would require a โ€œchange of heartโ€ on his end. 
  • Chris Vannini reports that the Raiders are hiring former UMass QB coach Frederick Walker as a quarterbacks assistant.
  • The Raiders contract with WR Mack Hollins is for one year and is worth $2 million, including a $700,000 signing bonus, a salary of $1.035 million, and up to $500,000 in playtime and catch incentives. (Aaron Wilson)
