McGahee probably doesn’t have a ton left in the tank. He’s 30 in October and this deal takes him until he’s 32, a 3 year deal, and he averaged just 3.8 yards per carry last year. However, he only has 1541 career carries which makes him fresher than a lot of backs his age and he hasn’t had to carry a load since 2007. He was the best running back remaining, assuming Ahmad Bradshaw and Michael Bush return to their respective teams, and the Broncos needed another back to go with Knowshon Moreno. They also got him on a fairly low risk contract, 3 years, 7.5 million, with 3 million guaranteed.
