Murdock

Per 9NEWS’ Mike Klis, the Broncos will sign Murdock to their practice squad if he goes unclaimed on waivers. Murdock made a name for himself as a voluminous tackler and fumble-forcer at Buffalo, leading the MAC twice and the FBS once in the latter category.

Mr. Irrelevant gets a $122,600 signing bonus as he becomes the first of seven Denver draft picks to sign his rookie contract. Rookies report to mimi-camp in Denver this weekend.

Murdock (6'2/232), 22, is a tackling machine with a penchant for forcing fumbles. He led the MAC in forced fumbles in 2023 (four), the FBS in 2024 (seven) and the MAC again in 2025 (six). His 2024 sum is a school record. Murdock earned first-team All-MAC honors in each of the last two seasons and was a second-team All-American in 2025. He totaled 156 tackles, 16.5 TFLs, two sacks, two passes defended and one interception in 2024, and 142 tackles, 13.5 TFLs, five sacks and one pass defended in 2025. His 2025 tackle total also led the MAC. As the literal final pick of the draft, Murdock will undoubtedly start out on special teams in training camp, but if he can make the 2026 53-man roster, he could eventually emerge as a starting option over the next 2-3 years.
