Broncos acquired RB Laurence Maroney from the Patriots in exchange for undisclosed compensation.
It was clear after preseason action that Maroney wasn't going to have a significant role in New England this season. Knowshon Moreno played well in his return to action Sunday, but the Broncos have serious depth concerns. Maroney has a history with coach Josh McDaniels, so he can plugged right in as the early-down backup. We suspect the trade says more about Correll Buckhalter, showing signs of decline and coming off a neck/back injury, than Moreno. Sep. 14 - 4:05 pm et
