The Denver Broncos released Travis Henry Monday, just over a year after signing him to a five-year, $22.5 million contract. GM/Coach Mike Shanahan took the somewhat unusual step of throwing Henry under the bus as he was releasing him.
“We did not feel his commitment to the Broncos was enough to warrant a spot on this football team,” he said.
Henry, who pulled a hamstring running sprints last month in minicamp, also missed time last year due to injuries, and was nearly suspended for a year due to marijuana use, although he was able to get the punishment overturned.
He did manage 691 yards and four touchdowns in his one season in Denver.
The Broncos added veteran Michael Pittman to their backfield last week, and also have Selvin Young, Andre Hall and rookie Ryan Torain on the roster. Since it remains to be seen who (if anyone) will get the majority of the carries in Denver, fantasy owners should still stay away from the Broncos backfield in the early rounds.
