Broncos sign Holland, Henry to visit (1 Viewer)

[rascal]

The Broncos didn't waste much time before setting up a visit for Travis Henry. He was slated to be on his way to Denver on Saturday night.

Meanwhile, Denver signed its first free agent of the offseason Saturday by inking New Orleans guard Montrae Holland, according to a source close to the situation.

Holland agreed to a one-year deal and it is expected to be announced later Saturday. Holland will compete with second-year guard Chris Kuper at right guard. Incumbent Cooper Carlisle will not return.

Henry was cut Saturday by Tennessee after he wouldn't restructure his deal. Henry is believed to be Denver's top choice to become the team's starting tailback in the wake of Tatum Bell's trade to Detroit on Thursday. Denver had Green Bay s Ahman Green in for a visit Friday and Saturday.

Henry had 1,211 yards for the Titans in 2006. He is open to returning to the Titans, and it is expected that the Broncos and Titans are the biggest pursuers of him.

Guess this means Carlisle is gone. I think he will start over Kuper BTW. Really adds some beef to denver's line.

I could see Mike Bell still playing a lot even with a Henry signing. I'm done with DEN RBs in the early/mid rounds. Only a late round flier on a darkhorse will I wager. This way when I cut him 2 weeks into the season it will not materially affect my team. Also, I will not have to take a 0 every other week by playing Henry and watching Bell score, or vice versa.
