Another member of the Denver Broncos’ Super Bowl 50-winning team could be on the out and outs.
According to a report by Vic Lombardi of 950 Denver on Friday, the Broncos are shopping running back Ronnie Hillman.

Hillman, 24, led the team with 867 rushing yards and seven touchdowns last season. But the Broncos re-signed CJ Anderson last March to be their lead running back and drafted Utah’s Devontae Booker in the fourth round of the 2016 Draft. 23-year-old Capri Bibbs is also fighting for scraps in the backfield.
Hillman had to wait until April for the Broncos to re-sign him to a cheap one-year, $2 million deal, which probably goes to show the team’s level of commitment to him. Having slid down the depth chart during training camp and the preseason, he now appears to be the odd man out in Denver.
While he is by no means a bell cow, Hillman could attract interest from a team in need of a change-of-pace guy, perhaps within a committee backfield setting.
