Broncos GM John Elway and agent Frederick Lyles Jr. have moved closer towards a contract adjustment for Chris Harris, according to Mike Klis of 9News (on Twitter). Harris is presently scheduled to make $8.9MM this year in salary and bonuses but is pushing for a pay bump and an extension. 
Harris might not get the extension he wants, but the Broncos are offering him a pay raise in his walk year. There’s cautious optimism about a deal being reached by the time the Broncos reconvene for their final stretch of OTAs on Wednesday.
Harris, the last remaining member of the Broncos’ famed No Fly Zone secondary, has yet to practice within the Broncos’ revised 3-4 scheme due to his protest of the club’s voluntary offseason program. Elway is hoping to hammer out a deal early this week that will put Harris in practice on Wednesday or, at minimum, ensure his participation in mandatory camp this summer.
The veteran’s asking price has come down from his initial ask of $15MM+, which makes this an easier gap to bridge. There’s also precedent to suggest that Harris will be open to Elway’s proposed pay bump – last year, the Broncos gave Harris a $3MM incentive package to sweeten his $8.5MM payout and got a Pro Bowl season out of him.
