The Denver Broncos waived safety Ryan Murphy on Monday.
Murphy was sent back to Denver prior to Super Bowl 50 after police questioned him in regards to a prostitution sting in San Jose. A Bay Area native, Murphy was not cited by police in the investigation. However, head coach Gary Kubiak elected to send him back to limit any distractions in the lead up to the game.
Murphy was re-signed to a futures contract in February. He was a seventh-round draft pick of the Seattle Seahawks last year.
Denver also released punter Will Johnson after drafting Syracuse punter Riley Dixon in the seventh round of the NFL Draft on Saturday.
