ENGLEWOOD Ugo Amadi Jersey , Colo. (AP) — The Vic Fangio Era began in Denver without one of the Broncos‘ best defenders and a potential contract standoff looming.“Yeah, I won’t be there,” cornerback Chris Harris Jr. texted The Associated Press before the Broncos became the fourth team to start their offseason program.Entering the final season of a five-year, $42.5 million deal he signed in 2015, Harris is due $7.8 million in 2019, after which he’d become an unrestricted free agent.One of the NFL’s most versatile defensive backs, Harris first raised the prospect of a stare-down with general manager John Elway four months ago after the Broncos missed out on the playoffs for the third consecutive year.“It’s late in my career and I can’t waste any years anymore,” said Harris, who turns 30 in June. “It’s time for me to win. I always wanted to retire here and finish my career here, but I’m ready to see what changes and things we do.”Those changes included Vance Joseph’s firing and safety Darian Stewart’s release http://www.clevelandbrownsteamonline.com/sione-takitaki-jersey , which left Harris as the last remaining original member of the “No Fly Zone” defense that helped the Broncos win Super Bowl 50.Elway, who signed two defensive backs in free agency, has said he would like to work out a new deal with Harris after the draft later this month.Elway signed cornerbacks Bryce Callahan (three years, $21 million) and Kareem Jackson (three years, $33 million) in free agency last month. Jackson’s deal includes salaries of $11 million in 2020 and $10 million in 2021, and he turns 31 this month.Jackson was the best cornerback on the market, and pairing him with Harris gives Fangio enviable flexibility in coverage as both cornerbacks can line up in the slot, on the outside or even at safety.With mandatory veteran minicamp two months from now and the start of training camp more than 100 days away, Harris’ absence Tuesday didn’t raise many eyebrows.“I mean, it’s optional Sheldrick Redwine Jersey , right?” said linebacker Von Miller , who skipped the Broncos’ offseason program following his Super Bowl MVP performance three years ago during a contract stalemate. “We all know what type of pro Chris is on and off the football field, and he’s going to be ready to go whenever he’s here. And if he’s not here, he’ll still be ready to go.“We’re talking about ‘Strap’ Harris. So, he can be on Mars and he’s still going to be ‘Strap’ Harris,” added Miller. “He’s going through whatever he’s going through right now and I support him 100 percent. But when it’s time to go, he’s going to be ready to go. This is his ninth year coming up and whatever he has to do to get ready, I’m for it.”Harris is coming off a stellar 2018 season despite missing the last month with a broken right leg.The only NFL player with multiple interceptions in each of the past seven seasons, Harris picked off three passes, returning one for a touchdown Kaleb McGary Jersey , and broke up 10 passes in a dozen games last season before getting hurt at Cincinnati on Dec. 2.The Broncos lost each of their last four games during Harris’ absence. He returned a month later to play in his fourth Pro Bowl, intercepting a pass in the AFC’s 26-7 victory. Quarterbacks are the faces of National Football League franchises and, ideally, the most important figures inside of a locker room and on the field. Granted, there have been some signal-callers who were carried, or even dragged in instances, to Super Bowl appearances and championships. The majority of the time, however, an organization requires either a great QB or one who is in-form and on a hot streak to guide a side past a conference championship contest and to the biggest game of the year. Nick Foles may not go down as one of the greatest of all time or as a Hall of Famer, but nobody can deny he deserved to win Super Bowl LII honors for his performance that memorable evening. Of the 32 men who will begin the 2018 NFL regular season as starting QBs Kendall Sheffield Jersey , a handful of them could, realistically, win at least one Super Bowl ring before they enter retirement. Not all of those in that tier as of the first week of September are seen as the best in the business, but, rather, are lucky enough to play on rosters filled with talent on both sides of the football. Meanwhile, at least seven quarterbacks scheduled to start the 2018 campaign under center for their teams won’t ever reach the figurative mountaintop for one reason or another before they retire. One or more of them may even lose their jobs before the end of the season.
