NFL Draft Pick Signings: 5/5/26

Today’s mid- to late-round rookie signings from the 2026 NFL Draft:

Denver Broncos

• LB Red Murdock (seventh round, Buffalo)

Kansas City Chiefs

• RB Emmett Johnson (fifth round, Nebraska)

The Broncos have secured the signature of Mr. Irrelevant who received a $122K signing bonus, per Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post. Johnson joins a crowded backfield in Kansas City, where he’ll work for reps behind free agent addition — and Super Bowl LX MVP — Kenneth Walker, all the time competing against another free agent signing in Emari Demercado and last year’s draft pick, Brashard Smith.
