Renaldo Hill Released by the Denver Broncos

The Broncos have announced that they have released safety Renaldo Hill.less than a minute ago via TweetDeck Favorite Retweet ReplyLindsay Jones
PostBroncos

Renaldo Hill has been released by the Denver Broncos. After spending a number of practices on the sidelines due to dehydration, the Broncos have cut ties with the former Miami Dolphins safety. Brought in during the Josh McDaniels Era, Renaldo Hill had 2 INTs and 63 tackles during the 2010 season.

I think that this move comes as no surprise. The Broncos acquired many safeties this offseason, including second round pick Rahim Moore and fourth round pick Quinton Carter, both of whom took snaps with the first team defense during the past few days of training camp.

Josina Anderson said that this move could be to free up some room for an extra runningback. More on that story to come...

But all of us at MHR would like to wish Renaldo Hill the best of luck and thank him for the two seasons that he spent in Denver. Go Broncos!

I found it interesting in Hill’s phone call, they told him they have ROOKIE talent at the position.

To me, it indicates it’s Moore’s job to lose.

With EFX unable to restructure Dawk’s contract so far, Carter and Moore have been running with the 1s in camp. I haven’t heard one word about McBath or Bruton. I wouldn’t be surprissed if one of them was given the pink slip soon.

I get the feeling EFX were trying to trade Hill (maybe back to MIA with Orton) and couldn’t do it.

And I’m a Denver Broncos fan and I have the right to cheer when our boys make good decisions like cutting bums! If u don’t like, well that’s u that have to deal with it. We need to clear cap space and get younger on D especially in the secondary

Trust me....

…these same guys have cheered for others to have been cut. I bet they would also have cheered had we cut B Marsh out right. They just don’t agree this guy should get the treatment. They want to select who you should and should not cheer for to be dumped.

Renaldo Hill was anything but a bum. He was our starter for 2 years and a decently good one. He was a class act and he hasn’t made a single fuss since he’s been here.

Still, it was a careless thing to say. Renaldo Hill is all class.

This isn’t a Jarvis Moss situation where Hill was a bust and a total waste of money.

Hill came and and started for us for 2 years. He was worth the money and was a class act. For that, I hope he catches on somewhere and I wish him success wherever he goes.

Also,

you poked fun at Hill for being dehydrated, not sure the single word “Hallelujah!” is much worse. But we should probably move on from this, now that I got the last word :)

You’re right I was a bit over the top with that statement…apologies I I offended anyone but I’m just happy for once our team isn’t making questionable roster moves…LeKevin Smith, Laurence Maroney…just to name a few…I still say this was a good move for our team

by BroncosFaN88 on Jul 30, 2011 5:31 PM MDT via mobile up reply actions

Hey BroncosFaN88

I don’t think many people think this was a bad move. It was a very smart move that clears up a roster spot and extra cap room. I agree with you 100% there.

I just think Hill was one of those classy guys who deserves a handshake out the door instead of a kick. That’s all.

If he doesn’t want people “jumping down his throat” he should learn how to have class.

From what heard both Rookie Safeties have

already turned heads in camp so that made Hill expendable

Same. We’re going younger and clearing cap space (why?).

Hill is better suited for a team further along in their process. Perhaps the Texans?

I can deal with the business side of the sport. You watch some good players leave or move on.

I can’t deal with intolerable blowhards like you. You don’t cheer when good men lose their livelihood. Regardless of how you see him as a player he played for the Denver Broncos and that should warrant just an ounce of your respect.

If it doesn’t, find the door.

How much has Hill made in his career?

20+ million, more than most of us combined. The way I read his comment was that he was happy because it made our team better, which it did. Hill had 4 INT while with Denver.

Hate to see Renaldo Hill the human being leave but happy to see Hill the safety leave.

This past week at work was perfect because the lockout ended and he was gone for all five work days. Thus, if he loses his job, I shall be exuberant to say the least. Otherwise, you’re right.

I liked Hill

He was pretty good. Not great, but he was pretty good. But he was noticeably worse last year than the previous.

Looking back, when he was called for PI against the Jets last year, I think that’s really when the team’s back completely broke. They had injuries to top players, etc. that they were fighting through, but I think that was the final straw. it was like, we just beat one of the top teams in our conference, did everything right, and then we get it taken away on a (questionable) PI call. Seemed to me like they just gave up after that.

Anyway, good luck Renaldo. I liked you when you were here. And I’ll cheer for you as long as you’re not in our division.

by wtnelson on Jul 30, 2011 4:54 PM MDT reply actions

I liked Hill also. In addition to his playing, he was practically a coach on the field, and basically “quarterbacking” the secondary. I was honestly hoping we might hold on to him as a player-coach or something.

I’d also sort of agree about the Jets game – it was a horrible moment, but I still can’t see it as a bad play on Hill – just an unfortunate tangle and an arguable call. I think the amount of blame directed towards him is misguided and regrettable.

questionable call

an arguable call

I agree, it’s hard to blame him for the call, and I looked at several times.

The league has gone too far with these interference calls. We don’t want to reward good acting like the NBA.

With how much depth we have at safety, but Hill was head and shoulders our best safety last year, in terms of play, it wasn’t even close. Classy guy, underrated, the Jets game ruined him for many people though.
