ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) - The Denver Broncos' crowded backfield has become a bit clearer with the release of third-year tailback Selvin Young.

Selvin is one of their best backs, how do you release him?

He's okay, not great, Shanahann's system would have allowed Ki-Jana Carter to be a good running back

The Broncos obviously won't be going into 2009 carrying 6-7 backs. Think about it...they just signed Jordan, Buckhalter and Arrington to deals...just drafted Knowshown.

Hillis, Torrain and Young were bound to see their way out of Denver regardless....Selvin just got axed first for some reason. Could of been b/c of a bonus or something....maybe he requested his release now, knowing it was coming.

would not be too surprised to see him head to Houston -- same type of system, and Texans are looking for a relief RB for Slaton

Yea Houston would be a good fit for Young. It seems any time the Broncos release anyone they end up in Houston anyways because of the Shanahan and Kubiak connection.

Hillis should go back to playing FB this year. But with the new coach you never know.
