Denver Broncos announce signing of guard Evan Mathis

The Denver Broncos have completed the signing of free agent offensive lineman Evan Mathis.

The 33-year-old demanded to be released by the Philadelphia Eagles earlier in the off-season due to a dispute over his contract, which was eventually granted by the NFC East side.

Mathis visited with several teams, including the Seattle Seahawks, but has opted to join the Broncos on a one-year deal worth $4m (£2.5m), with $2.5m (£1.5m) guaranteed.

The guard has played 114 games during his 10-year career in the NFL.
