Getty Images According to Mike Klis of the Denver Post, the Broncos have been trying to get new contracts done for defensive tackle Ty Warren, kicker Matt Prater and left tackle Ryan Clady. Clady is scheduled to make $3.5 million in 2012, which is the final year of his current deal. “I try to leave that up to my agent,” said Clady, who is represented by Pat Dye. “I’m just focusing on football right now.” The Broncos have been making some progress as they work on a five-year deal for Prater.  The hope at this point is to get something finalized before this month’s mandatory minicamp. When it comes to Warren, the Broncos want him to take a significant pay cut and play for  around $1.5 million this season, instead of the $4 million he’s already scheduled to make.
