  Not really breaking news as it was supposed to happen but still:

  
  THIS JUST IN: The Broncos have released RB Willis McGahee, a league source tells @AdamSchefter.

  
  

  Sucks for a guy that said on June 11th that he will be the starting running back Week 1

  I agreed about John Fox just not sure they can keep Monte off the field as he is there best back even as a rookie..

  This is huge news. John Fox usually prefers veterans, but this release suggests he is open to listen to Manning and Elway about Ball needing to start. Love me some Montee Ball

  From Rotoworld:

  
  

  Rookie Montee Ball is locked in as the Broncos' feature back following the release of Willis McGahee.

  Ronnie Hillman is a change-of-pace back and there's no guarantee Knowshon Moreno (knee surgery) will even make the final roster. The Broncos used a second-round pick on Ball for a reason; they're going to ride him as a feature back.

  Does anyone see McGahee signing anywhere else?  Miami, Green Bay, NYJ, Pitt or do you think his career is over

  I say he's a lock to be the starter. He still has Hillman and Moreno on the roster and under contract. I wouldn't be shocked if Denver uses Ball and Hillman as Thunder and Lightning.

  I hope not; he's 32 and just came off a major injury, plus he's owed a lot of money.

  There is a lot of vets similar on the waivers right now.  Hard to say.  I think he will get picked up, but might take an injury.  All these guys sitting out there still might be in for a long wait actually.  I'm from STL and usually say thing early with them, but this is pure speculation but I could see them showing some interest.
  
  As for Ball I'm just not a big fan, although he landed in a perfect situation so it is hard on me to get really negative.  I probably won't have him in any of my leagues due to his value being as high as a #2RB, and I just don't see him as that.  Everybody said Hillman was going to shine when McGahee went down and right before the game Moreno took over and excelled.  I wouldn't be surprised to see that again if Moreno was healthy.  If Manning wants Ball though I think he will get it.
  

  I don't trust Adam Schefter and neither should you!!!

  This is the NFL, his contract is voided now.  He is starting from fresh.  When Denver released him they had to pay the signing bonus money, unless he magically got picked up off waivers which won't happen.

  Don't be surprised if Moreno is next to get axed... Rolling with Ball, Hillman and the other Ball.

  I think there's a possibility that McGahee could sign with the chargers. Reunite with his old offensive coordinator.

  12 Team Dynasty
  QB: Newton
  RB: L. Miller, R. Bush, Bell, Vereen, Michael, Harris, Dwyer
  WR: Dez, Marshall, V. Brown, Mi. Floyd, Thompkins, Hill, Streater, Boykin, Collie, Alexander (IR)
  TE: Gronk, Cameron, Sudfeld, Housler

  I'm curious what any of you would pay for Mcgahee at this point - is he worthless? Would you give a pick for him? If so, how high?

  I think he could go to the Jags. Justin Forsett is running with the first team and MJD has been described as ''pudgy' and out of shape.

  LOL, you all seem to be forgetting, McGahee really isn't that good.

  he's not horrible.  4.63 over the last two years.  Might be worth a late-round flier in a redraft league if he lands somewhere like the Jags.  Dynasty...I'd probably give a third for him if I was hurting at RB

  Justin Forsett is far more talented. If he goes to the Jags, he's behind him in the pecking order.
