The Denver Broncos struck a five-year deal with free-agent offensive tackle Russell Okung, the team announced Thursday.

Okung, who plays left tackle, reportedly agreed to a contract worth a reported $53 million.

Okung, 28, played the past six seasons for the Seattle Seahawks and was a Pro Bowl selection in 2012.

The signing of Okung will likely mean the end of Ryan Clady’s tenure with the Broncos. Clady, a four-time Pro Bowler, tore the ACL in his left knee last May and missed the entire 2015 season.

Clady is set to make $9.5 million this season and $10 in 2017.
