The Denver Broncos have agreed to terms on a four-year contract with rookie center Alex Forsyth, according to KUSA-TV’s Mike Klis.
Forsyth, who was picked by the Broncos in the seventh round (257th overall) of the NFL draft out of Oregon, is now under contract through the 2026 season.
Based on the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement with players, Spotrac.com estimates that Forsyth will receive $3,917,777 over four years. With an estimated $77,777 signing bonus and a $750,000 base salary, Forsyth is projected to have a total salary cap hit of $769,444 in 2023.
Forsyth slipped to the seventh round of the draft despite being graded as a fifth-round prospect by The Athletic’s Dane Brugler. He is unlikely to start over Lloyd Cushenberry in Week 1, but Forsyth projects as a potential future starting center in Denver.
Before moving to center at Oregon, Forsyth spent time at tackle and guard with the Ducks, and that positional flexibility could prove to be valuable for the Broncos.
