Inside the Patrick Surtain II deal

Patrick Surtain II is sticking around in Denver for the foreseeable future.

Here they are, per a source with knowledge of the terms:

1. Signing bonus: $15 million.

2. 2024 training camp roster bonus: $2.463 million, fully guaranteed.

3. 2024 base salary: $1.055 million, fully guaranteed.

4. 2025 option bonus: $21 million, fully guaranteed (paid by March 31, 2025).

5. 2025 base salary: $1.17 million, fully guaranteed.

6. 2026 option bonus: $10 million, guaranteed for injury at signing and fully guaranteed on the fifth day of the 2025 league year.

7. 2026 base salary: $7.632 million, guaranteed for injury at signing and fully guaranteed on the fifth day of the 2025 league year.
