It appears there’s been some confusion here\u2014you’re referencing the Broncos gaining release and signing with a new team for 2026, described as a \u201cplaymaker.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201d But according to the story, this isn’t about the NFL\u2019s Denver Broncos at all\u2014instead, it’s about the Brisbane Broncos, the professional rugby league team in Australia\u2019s NRL.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The player is Jock Madden, a halfback\/five-eighth who debuted with the Wests Tigers in 2021 and joined the Brisbane Broncos in 2022. He has now been granted a release by Brisbane and will return to the Wests Tigers on a two\u2011year deal beginning in 2026, after three years with the Broncos<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Jock\u202fMadden, the talented halfback who spent three seasons (2022\u20132025) with the Brisbane Broncos in Australia\u2019s NRL, has been granted an early release and will head back to his original club, the Wests Tigers, on a two\u2011year contract covering the 2026 and 2027 seasons.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Madden, who debuted in first grade during the 2021 season for the Tigers, returns despite limited starting opportunities but brings a strong kicking game and solid work ethic\u2014qualities Wests Tigers coach Benji Marshall praised, saying Madden \u201cwill be a valuable addition to our squad on and off the field\u201d<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

During his tenure at Brisbane, the Broncos reportedly encouraged Madden to explore opportunities elsewhere, and he had been linked with South Sydney Rabbitohs and even English Super League side Hull FC. With Jayden Sullivan expected to remain at the Rabbitohs for 2026, Madden is projected to be the primary backup to established halves Jarome Luai and Latu\u202fFainu there too\u2014but his decision to rejoin Wests Tigers marks a full-circle return to where he first launched his professional career<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you’re looking for details on an NFL playmaker from the Denver Broncos, feel free to clarify\u2014and I can look into that.<\/p>\n\n
