Broncos’ Ronald Darby: Gets big deal in Denver
The Denver Broncos signed Ronald Darby to a three-year, $30 million contract Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.Darby is cashing in after having played on a one-year, $3 million contract in Washington last season. He finally stayed healthy for a full 16-game slate in 2020, and his contract is an indication that the Broncos aren’t too worried about the health concerns that plagued Darby earlier in his career. He’s primed to occupy one of the team’s outside starting cornerback spots next season.

Football Team’s Ronald Darby: Stays healthy all season
Ronald Darby was a 16-game starter in 2020, recording 55 tackles (43 solo), 16 pass defenses and a fumble recovery on 1,001 defensive snaps.Darby was fifth in the league in PDs, yet didn’t record a single interception. PFF graded him at No. 31 out of 122 qualified cornerbacks, 13 spots ahead of teammate Kendall Fuller. Washington more than got its money’s worth on a one-year, $3 million contract, so it’ll likely be far more expensive if the team wants to keep Darby around for 2021 and beyond. Granted, other franchises may have some concerns about his medical history, as the 27-year-old cornerback played just 28 games in his three seasons (2017-19) with the division-rival Eagles.

Redskins’ Ronald Darby: Staying in NFC East
Ronald Darby (hip) inked a one-year, $4 million deal with the Washington Redskins on Sunday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.Darby battled injuries for the Eagles last season, suiting up in 11 games as a starter, racking up 37 tackles (34 solo), two interceptions and 11 pass breakups. The 26-year-old missed the final two games of 2019 with a hip strain, and his timetable to return remains unclear. New head coach Ron Rivera has long been a fan of Darby, so he likely will battle for the starting cornerback spot that was vacated when the team traded Quinton Dunbar (hamstring) to Seattle.
