Thread: Miami Dolphins to meet with free agent RB Knowshon Moreno

ORLANDO -- The Miami Dolphins, quiet shoppers for the past week in free agency, are about to make some noise.

They are set to host Denver Broncos running back Knowshon Moreno for a free agent visit, according to a league source. Moreno is expected to meet with the team Friday.

Moreno rushed for a career-high 1,038 yards and 10 touchdowns last season, averaging 4.3 yards per carry. He also caught 60 passes for 548 yards and three scores.

Are we content with only one semi-proven running back?

I guess so. It's hard to fault Elway for much given his moves his offseason, but not even trying to bring Knowshon back is a blunder IMO. I think the offense will miss him more than people realize. i hope I'm wrong though, and that we find another good complimentary back that we can plug in to go along with Ball.

I want him back as tandem back with ball. Guess Fox wants Hillman to compete with ball.

I don't think our offense will miss a beat as long as Ball is healthy or doesn't get suspended for some reason. With that said I think we will be in a world of hurt if Hillman has to be the starter. I like Hillman as a situational player but if forced to be the starter it could be bad.

Ball/moreno way better then ball/hillman. Hillman was a fumble machine who cant block.

March 5th DP article

Steady, Montee. Keep it rolling, C.J.

The Broncos believe it's time to take the training wheels off their kid running backs, Montee Ball and C.J. Anderson.

"I can't wait," Anderson said Tuesday. "It's an opportunity. It's up to us to take advantage of the opportunity."

Looks like it might be Ball and Anderson

boooo! damn it, john. . .

Denver has made it obvious there's just zero interest. Not sure I understand the full reason why, as he seems in for a modest salary.

I'm guessing we draft a RB; Likely in the later rounds.

I'd say anything more than Vet Min is more than John is willing to spend.

Ball and Anderson with Hillman as COP.

Chris Johnson with Manning intrigues me.

Allow Virgil Green to play some RB like he did in PO's, go all Rod Bernstein on their ass.

Regardless of whether the Broncos ever legitimately miss Moreno or not his reputation has exceeded his actually play to the point that any time a RB misses a block or drops a pass people are gonna be all like "Told you we'd miss Moreno!", completely ignoring the fact that Moreno had his share of mistake as well.

When it comes to fan favorites I think teams are in a no-win situation, but say the Broncos do want him back, if his price is anywhere north of $1.5-or-so million that actually constitutes a raise compared to the '14 club option the Broncos chose not to pick up.

I sincerely doubt that's an appealing scenario to the Broncos FO.
