Broncos cut RB Arrington
Football Betting Lines
05/28/2009 - Denver, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Denver Broncos have reportedly cut running back J.J. Arrington after he failed a physical.
The Denver Post is reporting that Arrington will need season-ending microfracture surgery on his right knee.
Arrington and the Broncos agreed on a four-year deal in March for a reported $10 million to serve as Denver's third-down back. The 26-year-old was to be part of a complete overhaul of the Broncos' backfield this season, joining fellow newcomers Correll Buckhalter, LaMont Jordan, Darius Walker and 2009 first-round draft pick Knowshon Moreno.
The lone holdovers from last season are Ryan Torain and Peyton Hillis, who led the team with a meager 343 yards and five touchdowns on 68 carries. Torain missed the first two-plus months of the season after suffering ligament damage in his left elbow during training camp and appeared in just one game before suffering a season-ending left knee injury in Week 9.
Gone are Michael Pittman, Selvin Young, Tatum Bell and Andre Hall. All but Bell missed time last season with significant ailments and ended the year on injured reserve.
Arrington spent the past four seasons with the Cardinals, who made the California product their second-round selection in 2005. He rushed for a career-high 370 yards and two touchdowns in his rookie season and spent the past three years as a third-down back for the reigning NFC Champions.
In 58 career games, Arrington has rushed for 654 yards and three touchdowns to go with 693 receiving yards and two scores on 91 grabs.

MySportsbook.com and Kentucky Derby Offer Bonuses
The 2008 Kentucky Derby has announced a $1-million bonus for this weekend’s 134th ‘Run for the Roses’ and MySportsbook.com is doing the same.
Well, not quite $1 million, but MySportsbook.com is offering a 75% rebate for Kentucky Derby lines. Check out the exclusive horse racing bonus for all the details.
According to MySportsbook.com, the favorites for Saturday’s Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky are: Curlin (+250); Street Sense (+500); Scat Daddy (+700); Circular Quay (+750); and Nobiz Like Shobiz (+800).
Derby organizers announced this week that there will be a $1-million bonus at the 2007 Kentucky Derby odds if the first-place horse wins by more than 6 1/2 lengths – the margin of Barbaro's victory last year. The bonus would be divided Saturday among the winning trainer, jockey, owner and a charity, with each receiving 25 percent. The designated charity is the Barbaro Memorial Fund.
''It's certainly creative, it's certainly fun and it has something for the horsemen, which we always want to embrace,'' Churchill Downs president and chief executive Robert Evans said at a news conference. ''What's really cool is it will force us to remember Barbaro.''
Meanwhile, the Derby favorite – Curlin – is going against the odds this year. It's been 125 years since Apollo won after skipping his 2-year-old season, and not since Regret in 1915 has such a lightly seasoned horse worn the blanket of red roses.
Arkansas Derby winner Curlin – unbeaten in three career races – tries to overcome both those obstacles in Saturday's 133rd Derby.
''We're not running against history,'' trainer Steve Asmussen said Monday. ''We're running against who they load up.''
Six other horses have run in the Derby without benefit of 2-year-old races and with three or fewer starts. The best any of them managed was a sixth-place finish by Showing Up last year.
Asmussen dismissed suggestions that Curlin's lack of racing experience could keep him from the winner's circle.
”He exudes confidence and he's got a great presence about him,'' the trainer said. ''I feel great about the position we're in. He's not worried about anything, why should you be?''
The Kentucky Derby is at 4:04 p.m., ET Saturday.
