The Broncos are re-signing running back Jaleel McLaughlin to a one-year contract.
A source said McLaughlin will get the minimum of $1.145 million as well as a $125,000 signing bonus.
McLaughlin, who became an unrestricted free agent Wednesday, will return for a fourth straight season with Denver.
The Broncos elected not to tender McLaughlin as an unrestricted free agent, having deemed the $3.52 million lowest tender offer to be too high. But they were able to agree to a deal for less than that.
McLaughlin, after being undrafted, rushed for 410 yards as a rookie in 2023 and 496 in 2024. He was inactive for nine of the first 10 games in 2025, but played in the final seven and finished with 187 yards rushing on the season.
