At least the contract they gave him included virtually no bonus money. Good work on his agent's part!

But what a waste of a third round pick.

Yeah, I heard Elway (on Dan Patrick I think) the other day say that he trusted Shanahan's judgment on Clarett. Whoops.

I think he will find a home somewhere else. They just have way too many RBs there anyway. Someone like Chicago will pick him up.

Why not Pittsburgh? We need help at RB and with Jerome & Duce in their last years with the club, Mo might have a chance here.

There's too much potential to give up on him already.

Maybe his one year at Ohio St. was a fluke? It's been three years, and after his combine/etc. performance and this training camp, who knows. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

I'm a bronco fan - and while it bums me out that we wasted a pick - i like them taking a shot here.

to get him to sign a contract with ZERO bonus money for just an incentive laden deal, the broncos had nothing to lose. one late third round pick to try and find a steal is worth it to me...oh well.

I think he'll end up being decent one day.

Shanahan is a dreadful player personnel guy. They need a real GM. Blowing picks consistently is awful. Still not anything compared to Dan Reeves picking Tommy Maddox with Carl Pickens on the board when they had Elway and Elway never had a reciever over 5'3". Bowlen needs to tell Shanahan to accept a GM in charge of the draft and free agents. He has shown he is incompetent at it through the years. Clarett is just the latest installment. this looks like a team in long term stagnation.
