The Denver Broncos and Prater's agent, Frank Bauer, have been working on a multiyear deal, and the two sides are not far apart, Mike Klis of the Denver Post reports. There is a deadline. Prater and the Broncos have until July 16 to reach an agreement on a multiyear deal. Training camp opens with physicals and meetings July 25. The first two-a-day session will be July 26. "We're having discussions, and I'm sure he'll be here on time," Broncos coach John Fox said. Without a long-term deal by July 16, Prater would have to play the 2012 season on the $2.654 million franchise tag.
