RB Ronnie Hillman and Broncos have agreed on 1-year contract, per NFL source. #9news #9sports

It's going to be an interesting dynamic in Broncos RB room, with CJ Anderson back on big new contract, and Ronnie Hillman back on 1-yr deal.

Hillman and Anderson were 1A-1B for all of 2015, but team clearly valued Anderson more in playoffs -- and free agency.

Also, Brandon McManus signed his EFRA tender, as if there were any doubt:

I'm told Brandon McManus signed his exclusive rights tender today with the #Broncos. Made 85.7% of his FGs last year. 97.2% of his XPs.

Ohh, I thought you were saying the Broncos had paid Hillman to resign, as in retire. I was thinking his retirement would give the Broncos running game a boost.

Lawdog beat you to the scoop by a minute, but I've got to say, your thread has a lot more info. I'm merging them.

But, but, but, he suuuuuccccckkkkkksssssss!!!!!

Yay! How exciting.

Wonder if he makes the team.

As third down back and change of pace back I don't mind.

I guess the knock on Bibbs is that he blows at pass pro.

Ronnie almost broke a tackle running to sign this contract.


PS- he does suck.
PPS- why us? I hop we draft Tyler E and cut ronald. I just watched the pats game highlights and him walking off the field with his hands up like what kind of a throw was that....oh its a backward pass??whaaaaa?

bleh. Subtraction by addition

$600k guaranteed? That doesn't exactly say they're high on him. That means he's competing for a roster spot.

Ronnie's only strength so far has been his esplosiveness.
He could be a premier 3rd down back if he was an above average pass catcher and blocker, but he hasn't been so far, not even close.
He could also be a dangerous punt returner if his hands were reliable.
Pull your head out Ronnie.
