Mike Klis of the Denver Post reports that Denver Broncos guard Kuper will play this season for the $2.521 million dollars he was to receive under the one-year restricted free agent tender.

Kuper, a former fifth-round pick out of the University of North Dakota, was tendered at the "First Round" level.

Klis adds that Kuper has signed a five-year, $25.5 million dollar contract extension, which when added to the tender, results in a contract worth $28.021 million dollars, including $13.021 million dollars guaranteed.

Aaron Wilson of the National Football Post has reported the total contract as a six-year, $29 million dollar deal.
