Prior to this new update, Harris requested a new contract, and if it wasn't met, he wanted a trade out of Denver. However, Harris has stressed his desire to spend his entire NFL career with the Broncos.

Per reports on Memorial Day weekend, Harris, his agent, and general manager John Elway met to discuss a new deal. After flying to Denver on Tuesday, Harris put pen to paper.
