FOX Sports NFL Insider Mike Garafolo confirms the deal secures Jackson about $15 million per season.

Jackson, 26, started all 16 regular-season games for the Denver Broncos in 2015, as well as all three of their postseason games.

He had 45 tackles and 5 sacks during the regular season, and scored the first touchdown in his career when he recovered a Cam Newton fumble in the end zone during the Broncos' Super Bowl 50 win.

Jackson was a fifth-round pick by Denver in 2012.

Also on Tuesday, the Broncos releasd tight end Owen Daniels, guard Louis Vasquez and long snapper Aaron Brewer.
