Broncos Waived DT Forrest Merrill From IR With Settlement

The Broncos announced on Monday that they have waived DT Forrest Merrill from injured reserve with a settlement.

Merrill, 26, wound up going undrafted out of Arkansas State back in 2021. He later signed a three-year rookie contract with the Chargers.

Merrill was waived coming out of the preseason and was on and off of their roster over the next two years. The Seahawks signed him to a contract before opting to release him back in June before he caught on with Denver.

In 2021, Merrill appeared in four games for the Chargers and recorded four tackles and no sacks.
