Broncos sign former Bears slot CB Bryce Callahan to three-year contract

The Denver Broncos signed former Chicago Bears slot cornerback Bryce Callahan to a three-year contract on Friday evening. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the deal is worth $21 million with $10 million guaranteed.

The move reunites Callahan, 27, with new Denver head coach Vic Fangio, who was the Bears' defensive coordinator during Callahan's first four seasons in the league. Callahan has four interceptions in 45 games (29 starts). Callahan started 10 of 13 games played last season and recorded 45 tackles, two sacks, two interceptions and defended six passes. He missed the final three games of the season after he broke his left foot in the Bears' 15-6 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in a Sunday night game.

Also Friday, the Broncos announced they have re-signed tight end Jeff Heuerman, who was a free agent following the 2018 season. Multiple sources report the two-year deal is worth $9 million. The four-year veteran -- who missed his entire rookie season to a torn ACL -- is coming off his best professional season to date. The 26-year-old recorded 31 receptions for 281 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games (10 starts) in 2018 before going on injured reserve with broken ribs. Heuerman has missed 27 games to injury through four seasons since being drafted in the third round in 2015.
