Maroney to Broncos; Fred Taylor more interesting

New England has shipped Laurence Maroney to Denver, where he will join the mix with Knowshon Moreno and Correll Buckhalter. This either means that Moreno's hammy didn't react well to the workload he got on Sunday, or the team simply feels that Maroney is an upgrade to Buckhalter as a backup.

As a Moreno owner in one league, I'm hoping it's the latter; but we'll see.

Back in New England, Fred Taylor's stock rises, but perhaps the biggest beneficiary in the long run might be Ben-Jarvis Green-Ellis. Sammy Morris and Kevin Faulk are still in the picture though, so while it's worth keeping an eye on BJGE, I'm still staying away from this backfield completely for now.

Moreno signs

The biggest news of the day is that RB Knowshon Moreno has ended his hold-out and is now set to join the Broncos in training camp. This is a relief to those expecting big things out of the roookie, because negotiations between the two camps were reportedly getting very contentious and it appeared that he could miss significant time.

As it happens, it was just eight days...long enough to have the desired effect, but not so long that he can't make it up and be in the starting lineup by Week 1. And you'd better believe that, barring injury, that's exactly where he'll be.
