The move comes as a mild surprise, as Addai had inked a one-year contract in May that included a $75,000 signing bonus and $50,000 workout bonus. This leaves second-year players Stevan Ridley and Shane Vereen, Danny Woodhead and rookie free agent Brandon Bolden as the lone backs on the roster.

They save alot of money that way, even the minimum veteran pay with his years in league comes out to more than the others demand.

Strictly a #s move IMO.......

btw, knowing Mannng, he'll try to get Denver to move on him asap

NFL RB careers continue to shorten. I do not blame any RB in college who declares early for the NFL. If Ware, Ford and Blue declare, thank you for your service and I totally understand why you would want to make the leap.

Addai at this point would be best to try and become a 3rd down back somewhere. He blocks very well and can catch some passes and do something with them.

This opens the door for ridley, he's got some serious potential.

So worse case, Joe sits out a little while with $125 grand fresh in the bank.

If we could all be so lucky.

But seriously, someone will pick him up. Veteran back with gas left in the tank. Only so many of those in the league.
