Mile high salary Broncos sign former Cowboy Pittman to lucrative deal
Posted: Saturday February 19, 2000 05:35 PM
DENVER (AP) -- The Denver Broncos reached an agreement on a seven-year, $28 million deal with former Dallas defensive end Kavika Pittman, The Denver Post reported today. Pittman's agent, Brad Blank, denied the deal was final, the Post reported, but the newspaper said a Broncos source confirmed the deal was done. The paper did not identify the source. The deal includes a $3.15 million signing bonus, the Post reported, adding that the length of the contract is meant to blunt its effect on the team's salary cap in coming seasons. It said the contract is in effect a five-year deal worth between $13 million and $15 million, depending on how Pittman plays. It would be the most lucrative contract for a defensive lineman in franchise history. Pittman, 26, led the Cowboys in sacks in 1998. He has predicted to Broncos officials that he will produce 10 sacks in a season -- a number that would equal his four-year NFL total. He had 42 tackles and three sacks last season.
