Running Back Willis McGahee To Visit Denver

Posted Sat Jul 30th by

Premature reports that surfaced yesterday saying Willis McGahee had signed with the Broncos may have just been a few days early.  Fox31 reporter Josina Anderson says there has been some progress made.

McGahee tweet

Shortly after Josina’s tweet, Mike Klis of the Denver Post reported that McGahee would be visiting the Broncos either tonight or Sunday.  According to Klis, the Broncos want to take a look at McGahee and give him a physical before finalizing a deal.

It appears that only formalities remain before McGahee is officially a Bronco, which would solidify Denver’s backfield.  Joining up with fellow backs Knowshon Moreno, LenDale White, Lance Ball and Mario Fannin, McGahee would become part of Head Coach John Fox‘s running-by-committee approach.

According to regular practice observers, Denver has been practicing a lot more running plays this training camp than in year’s past.  Fox is known for producing productive rushing attacks, so it is expected the Broncos running will vastly improve from last season.

Klis’ report also said Denver is making progress in their efforts to re-sign defensive tackle Marcus Thomas.  Denver has yet to sign a defensive tackle in free agency that did not play for the team last season.

Here’s hoping McGahee signs and the Broncos acquire a defensive tackle before they all sign elsewhere.

    The only good news Ive heard bout McGahee is that is 7.5 million might be over 4 years not 3. that would spread the dough.

    seems to be absolutely zero youth left in DTs. We chocked big time on landing someone to solidify this defensive front. My personal opinion is sign Ty warren. only because he has been consistently ringing up sacks in the 3-4 which means he would dominate in 4-3. If he stays injury free which most 30 year olds cant do in denver

    Willis McGahee signs contract with Broncos.  Per league source, it's worth roughly $10 million over four years.

    XANDERS will tell him he only has $10 in his own pocket because he has no clue what cap room is. McGahee will say “what you talkin bout Willis?” We will not sign anyone that is any good. Yet the the BUCS are 65 mil under the cap. XANDERS HAS TO GO DOWN AS ONE OF THE WORST GM'S IN THE HISTORY OF ALL SPORTS. EVEN AL DAVIS HAS TO WONDER WHAT XANDERS HAS BEEN SMOKING OR DID HE JUST EAT ALOT OF LEAD PAINT AS A KID. This is unreal.
