Broncos NT Mike Purcell Agrees To Restructure Contract

Purcell was scheduled to make a non-guaranteed $3.5 million this upcoming season.

He was also activated from the NFI list earlier today.

Klis notes that with Purcell agreeing to the restructure, it all but locks him in to the team’s final 53-man roster.

Purcell, 32, 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 in 2019. He signed a three-year, $14.8 million deal in 2020 but was cut loose in August of last year before re-signing a few days later. 

In 2022, Purcell appeared in all 17 games and recorded 45 tackles, 1.5 sacks, one tackle for loss, and one fumble recovery.
