Around SBN: Gary Carter, Mets All-Time Great Catcher, Has Died

The Broncos' interest in running backs Shaun Alexander and Dominic Rhodes remains in the preliminary stages, according to sources close to the situation. Denver could bring in either player for a visit, but it isn't focusing on either player at this point.

If Denver were to bring in a veteran running back, the team would likely have to part ways with veteran Travis Henry. There is likely little chance Denver would hold onto Henry and bring in another veteran. The Broncos also like second-year player Selvin Young and fifth-round pick Ryan Torain. So, if a veteran like Alexander or Rhodes comes in -- and it doesn't seem close to happening at this point -- it may be the end of a rocky, short era in Denver for Henry. His contract was chopped to about $1 million this season with incentives after a 2007 season which was disrupted by a drug case and injuries.

Henry ended up averting a one-year drug suspension by winning an appeal, but he was a distraction to the Broncos. If the Broncos decide they don't want to deal with him again, perhaps Alexander or Rhodes could be brought in.

Garbage from Williamson.

Thanks for posting this Arturo. I now am going to rip on Mr. Williamson – Broncos “expert”.

Henry isn’t going anywhere Mr. Williamson.

1. Henry just restructured.

2. What drug distraction are you talking about? The man scored a “false positive” on his drug test. That’s a drug case in your book? Distraction; no way. Coach Shanahan stood by Henry even to the point of being fined by the NFL. Henry paid Shanahan back by restructuring.

3. Young is not an every down back. Torain is likely to compete for a spot spelling or rotating with Henry. If Rhodes or Alexander comes in they will likey rotate with Henry.
