Big expectations in Denver for Travis Henry ended Monday when the Broncos released the running back one season into his five-year free agent deal.

"Although Travis has the ability to be one of the top running backs in the NFL, we have to make decisions that are in the best interests of our organization and its goal of winning a Super Bowl," Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said in a statement. "We did not feel his commitment to the Broncos was enough to warrant a spot on this football team."

Henry, who was signed by the Broncos as a free agent in March 2007, rushed for 691 yards on 167 carries with four touchdowns in 12 games in his only season with the team.



Looks like young might get 2,000 yards now (fantasy owners like this!!)

Where might Henry go?

"I just think everybody needs to stop talking about it," Howard said. "There's more to life than free throws."

i think once henry's career is over it will be a sad sad thing, he's got 9 kids i think with 9 different women. i dont know how he'll support all of them unless he's somehow made some good investments (doubtful)

Maybe he'll wind up with Bengals. They'd be a eprfect fit for each other.

No way Shanahan doesn't find a way to platoon.

I could see the Jets taking a shot on Henry. Or the Lions or Texans.
It's not whether you win or lose, it's how good you look playing the game

I doubt Kubs and Rick go after Henry. We already have Ahman, Chris Brown and Steve Slaton.

Was never a fan of his, during the signing. He did, inspire this song though...
