Broncos Re-sign RB Jaleel McLaughlin, Plan Draft Pick

0:00On March 13th, the Denver Broncos have resigned running back Jalil McLaughlin to a one-year deal, according to NFL Network Insider, Ian Rappaport. McLaughlin, an undrafted free agent, earned a spot on the roster as a rookie and has served as a solid depth option in the backfield. This move fits the Broncos' pattern of quickly bringing back their free agents on modest contracts, similar to recent deals for players like Lucas. Crowe and Lil Jordan Humphrey, fans and analyst C. McLaughlin as a reliable reserve behind starter JK Dobbins and second-year back R.J. Harvey, especially after last season win. He was mostly a healthy scratch until Dobbins suffered a season-ending injury. With Tyler Beatty also returning as the third down and pass blocking specialist, the running-back DevChart should look much the same heading into, next year. Looking ahead, the Broncos plan to target another running-back in the 2026 NFL Draft to address injury risks with Dobbins and Bolster, their ground game, which faltered without him.
