Broncos Re-Sign RFA DT Mike Purcell

Broncos restricted free agent DT Mike Purcell has signed his one-year tender for the 2020 season, per Mike Klis.

 

The Broncos placed a second-round tender on Purcell that will cost them $3.27 million for the 2020 season.

Purcell, 28, originally signed on with the 49ers as an undrafted free agent out of Wyoming back in 2013. He bounced on and off the team’s practice squad before making San Francisco’s active roster for the 2015 and 2016 seasons.

The 49ers waived Purcell shortly after re-signing him to a one-year exclusive rights deal and was claimed by the Rams. After having brief stints on the Bears, Patriots, Panthers and Chiefs, he signed on with the Broncos last year. 

In 2019, Purcell appeared in 13 games and recorded 48 tackles and no sacks. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 15 interior defensive lineman out of 114 qualifying players.
