With their signing of journeyman Michael Pittman, Mike Shanahan and the Denver Broncos have reiterated once more that they can never have too many running backs.
Pittman played for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season (he was also the starter on their 2002 Superbowl team) and will most likely be the Broncos third down running back this season.
The move comes after Travis Henry was banged up during quarterback camps with a pulled hamstring. Pittman was one of a few good veteran running backs still available.
While former MVP Shaun Alexander is still available his contract and running style probably did not fit the role the Broncos were looking for. Throughout his career Pittman has been a very consistent and dependable back; averaging four yards per carry. He’s also a formidable receiving threat, and should help a third down offense that struggled last year.
Could this move be the one that puts the Broncos back on the map?

Kevin-----The raiders FINALLY beat the Broncos after FOUR years! So with that said we have had your # and after the first game of the season our mouth will be shut again. Win more than 5 games in a year and then talk smack. You guys have been pathetic even since Gruden spanked you guys like a step child in the Super Bowl. Predictions: Raiders 5-11 Broncos 11-5 Cutler has 25+ tds and WHOEVER is our RB will get 1000 yrds and 10+ tds
