News surfaced Tuesday morning that Broncos rookies Dalton Risner and Drew Lock could miss the start of training camp while continuing to negotiate their contracts.
By lunch time, at least one of the two appears ready to report to Dove Valley for work on Wednesday. According to Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic, Risner has agreed to terms.
Per source, the Broncos have agreed to terms with second-round pick Dalton Risner. He is expected to sign later today.
Fellow second-round pick Drew Lock is the only remaining pick who has yet to agree to terms.
