Free agent Knowshon Moreno's (knee) career may be over
Free agent running back Knowshon Moreno's (knee) career is all but over, 9 News Denver's Mike Klis suggested.
What It Means:
Moreno does not turn 29 until July, but Klis said he mentally is "80 percent done" with football after taking off last season to rehab an ACL tear. Despite his age, Moreno's knees were a concern long before the ACL injury, with Klis reporting they were "virtually bone on bone" while playing for the Denver Broncos in 2013. The condition of his knees explains why he received very little free agent interest after leaving Denver and why he appears content to end his NFL career. Klis does say Moreno is "staying in great shape just in case," but it is likely he has played his last snap.
In his last season in Denver, Moreno had 242 carries for 17.37 Rushing Net Expected Points (NEP) in Denver in 2013. This was good for fourth among running backs that year in Rushing NEP per attempt (0.07).
