Toxikk Veteran Posted August 29, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 29, 2005 Maurice Clarett's gamble for the big dollars in the NFL failed for a second time. The Denver Broncos informed Clarett on Sunday that he is being released. Mike Shanahan surprised the league by using a third-round draft choice on the former Ohio State running back in the final selection of the round. The Broncos coach thought he had the cutback style of running that fit in one of the league's best running systems. As it turned out, Shanahan made a mistake and didn't want to waste time admitting it. With Tuesday's deadline for cutting the roster to 65 looming, Clarett, who never made the field in three preseason games, was let go. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?i...TC-DT9705204233 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briangw Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Good. That moron doesn't deserve to play again. Or, he could go to the CFL ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, good luck to him... that's quite a big bust -- being a third-round pick and being cut before your first season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DreAming in DigITal Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 That kid has been a joke...If he can't run well in the backfield behind the Broncos O-Line then he can't hack it anywhere. The Broncos can plug anyone into that slot and have them be successful, except for Clarett i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroChaos Veteran Posted August 30, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 30, 2005 why cut him now though? do they have anyone better to fill a spot? why not even give him a shot? you already wasted a good pick on him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briangw Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Sounds to me like someone's just mad he didn't stay longer at Ohio State. 586446118[/snapback] I could care less. While he helped the Buckeyes, he didn't lead them to the National Title. Ever since I heard of his problems, I was one of the few who wished he was gone. Same thing with the NFL's Vikings. I'm glad that Moss is gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quigley0 Posted September 2, 2005 Share Posted September 2, 2005 Way to waste a pick, Denver! Not as bad as atlanta spending all that money on Price, and, if I am not mistaken, costing them a 1st rounder?? But, clarett should go to NFL Europe for a year, get some time under his belt...

Don't know, it's complete speculation on my part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
