The Denver Broncos reported to training camp yesterday minus Ashley Lelie, but with rookie Jay Cutler agreeing to a last-hour deal.

Cutler, the 11th pick in the NFL draft, agreed to a package worth up to $48 million over six years, agent Bus Cook said. The deal was expected to be signed in time for the Broncos' first workout today.

"We got it done," Cook said of the deal that includes a team option for the sixth year.

While Cutler cashed in, Lelie will be subject to $14,000 in daily fines after he held to his promise to boycott training camp as a way of forcing a trade.

Lelie's agent, Peter Schaffer, hoped to secure a new address for his client during the offseason. With camps opening across the country, it may take an injury for a trade partner to emerge.

"We are diligently working toward a positive resolution," Schaffer said.

Asked if Lelie was in town, Schaffer said, "That's not relevant."

Shanahan had a feeling Cutler wouldn't hold out.

"I think Jay's a pretty smart guy and I think his agent is a very fair guy," Shanahan said before a deal was struck for the Vanderbilt quarterback. "We've always been fair."

Cutler was the last of Denver's seven-member draft class to reach a deal. Earlier yesterday, second-round pick Tony Scheffler, a tight end from Western Michigan, signed a four-year deal. Receiver Domenik Hixon and guard Chris Kuper also agreed to terms.

Should Lelie have a change of heart and report to camp, he'll be welcomed by teammates and coaches.

"I have nothing against Ashley," Shanahan said. "I'm going to play the best players. Ashley made a business decision to do what he thought was right for him and his future."

Shanahan said he wouldn't be surprised if Lelie walked into training camp any time. They recently had an amicable conversation.

"If he doesn't report, I'm going to treat him like he sprained his ankle," Shanahan said. "I'm not going to worry about somebody who's not at the camp. He's got a contract and he's obligated to be here. We're holding all the cards."

The Broncos tried to deal Lelie on draft day, but couldn't get adequate compensation.

Lelie wants to be a No. 1 receiver, but doesn't think he'll receive that chance in Denver with Rod Smith coming off a Pro Bowl season and the Broncos acquiring Javon Walker on draft day.

"I want to see him playing," Smith said yesterday. "I don't want him to think he's by himself."

Because Lelie missed all the offseason workouts, Shanahan said he won't be a starter but would have a chance to earn his position back.

"If he did come in, let's go have some fun," Shanahan said. "Let's win a championship."

TITANS

YOUNG SIGNS 5-YEAR DEAL; WHITE ALSO AGREES

Tennessee promised it wanted Vince Young, the third pick overall and the first quarterback taken in the draft, under contract before it opened training camp.

They avoided any lengthy holdouts yesterday, agreeing to terms with both Young and LenDale White a day before the first practice this afternoon.

Young, the No. 3 overall pick out of Texas, agreed to a five-year deal, with an option for a sixth, with $25.7 million guaranteed and an overall value that could reach $58 million with option and roster bonuses and salary.

That would top the six-year, $54 million deal with $26.5 million guaranteed for the top draft pick, defensive end Mario Williams of Houston.

Coach Jeff Fisher called the deals good news even though the deals still had to be finalized and signed, which could delay Young's first practice.

"This is an especially important year for both these players, in addition to all the other draft choices," Fisher said. "They're able to come in at the start of camp and put a full training camp under their belt before the season starts."

CENTER BENTLEY LOST FOR SEASON AFTER INJURY

Stretched out on a flatbed cart, LeCharles Bentley covered his face with a towel to hide his disappointment and tears.

This wasn't the homecoming he had planned.

His first season with Cleveland ended before it began.

Bentley, a two-time Pro Bowl center and one of the team's prized free agent signings this winter, sustained a season-ending injury to his left knee on the first 11-on-11 drill of training camp yesterday in Berea, Ohio — a crushing blow for a club seemingly cursed by major injuries the past few seasons.

"He was the face of our free-agent class," general manager Phil Savage said. "We feel terrible for LeCharles, but life goes on."

Savage said Bentley tore his patellar tendon and will undergo surgery as early as today. Savage declined to say if Bentley's tear was partial or complete and would not speculate on a timeframe for recovery.
