Broncos rumors: Willis McGahee cut due to health concerns
When veteran running back Willis McGahee reported to Denver
Broncos minicamp last week he said he was fully healthy. McGahee had been
recovering from a torn medial collateral ligament (MCL) and compression
fracture in his leg, and Paul Klee of The Gazette has it on good authority that
he’s still not fully recovered, despite what he said earlier in camp. This is

Report: McGahee's health was number one reason for release
Paul Klee of the Colorado Springs Gazette reports "on good authority" that the main reason running back Willis McGahee was released is that the team felt he wasn't fully healthy enough for the rigors of an NFL season.
He had the go-ahead when he reported to Broncos' minicamp, and offensive coordinator Adam Gase was in agreement with Willis that he was fully recovered...
Ronnie Hillman in line to start for the Broncos at running back?
According to Paul Klee of the Sacramento Bee, one person told him that they believe Ronnie Hillman will be the Broncos starting running back for week one.
One observer’s too-early prediction: Hillman is the starter for the season opener. Ball assumes the position by the end of September. We see plenty of Moreno, in part because he’s their most reliable pass-blocker and protecting...
Report: Broncos released Willis McGahee because he’s not healthy
According to Paul Klee of the Sacramento Bee, the Denver Broncos released running back Willis Mcgahee because he’s not healthy.
Foremost, he’s not healthy. I have it on good authority that’s what the Broncos believe. It’s why McGahee was afforded only limited carries in the mandatory minicamp. It’s the No. 1 reason he’s on the job market for a new gig.
I believe John...

Broncos might have two new starting safeties in 2013
The Denver Broncos won the AFC West last year and easily will be the favorites this year to win the Super Bowl (please don’t sue us NFL). Often when a team is solid talent wise, you won’t see too many camp battles. Looks like that exclusion excludes the two safety positions. According to Mike Klis of the Denver Post, former starters Rahim Moore and Mike Adams are in danger of...
Montee Ball doesn’t care about the money
In today’s day and age, it’s extremely hard to find an athlete who isn’t concerned about the money. Montee Ball of the Denver Broncos explained just that when he signed with the team.
The second round pick of the 2013 NFL Draft, is a reliable runner and efficient red zone runner. He proved that in his years playing for the Wisconsin Badgers. While his last season didn’t...
Broncos safety position could have different look in 2013
The Denver Broncos were in the hunt for safety Charles Woodson's services until Oakland took him off the market.
As much as they would deny it, the team tipped their hand that they weren't happy with the overall play in the last line of defense in 2012.
Former San Diego Chargers cornerback Quentin Jammer, a similar style of player as Woodson signed with the Broncos...

Why have NFL teams devalued the running back position? Broncos release another proven RB.
With the release of Willis McGahee, there are over twenty free-agent running backs available to NFL teams, all of whom have played major roles for teams at one time or another. In fact, seven of the running backs that are still available have had at least one 1,000 season, and still seem to have a few good seasons left in their legs. However, it seems that every year, running...
