Cornerback Jahdae Barron signed a four-year deal with the Denver Broncos, ending a standoff with the 20th overall pick in the 2025 draft.

The Broncos have not yet agreed to a deal with second-round pick RJ Harvey. The running back is one of 30 second-round selections who haven't signed their contract with training camps starting as soon as next week.

Barron's deal leaves Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Shemar Stewart as the only unsigned first-round pick in the 2025 draft class.

Barron, 23, had five interceptions as a fifth-year senior at Texas in 2024. His contract includes a fifth-year option and has an initial value of $18.1 million, according to the NFL's rookie contract slotting structure.

Stewart, drafted 17th overall, is at odds with the Bengals over language in his contract allowing the team to void future guarantees in the event he is involved in legal or disciplinary issues.
