The Denver Broncos signed offensive lineman Manny Ramirez to a two-year contract extension on Wednesday.

Ramirez, who started 11 games at right guard last year after the Broncos lost Chris Kuper to injury, is the current starter at center after Dan Koppen suffered a season-ending knee injury during training camp in late July.

The Texas Tech product has started 27 of 36 career regular-season tilts with the Broncos and Detroit Lions.
