Kizsla vs. Gabriel: Should the Broncos spend big on a running back in free agency?

Kiz: At the risk of irking Jim Brown or Emmitt Smith, conventional wisdom now states the best way for an NFL team to get in trouble is to overspend on a running back. Yes, running backs are a dime a dozen. And break easily. But I wouldn’t bet on Javonte Williams recovering from his knee injury to be anywhere near 100% when the Broncos open the season, and Denver needs to take a large chunk of the offensive burden off quarterback Russell Wilson.

In fact, George Paton said it himself at the NFL Combine earlier this month. What that looks like, though, is indeed an interesting question. One natural fit is Latavius Murray, given that he was apparently texting Sean Payton about coming to Denver before Nathaniel Hackett was even fired. The free agent crop could have been absolutely loaded, but diluted predictably in the last week with Saquon ...

Published Tue, 05 Nov 2024 16:27:45 GMT

The writer behind a canceled Santa Clara County-commissioned government history book plagiarized from sources like Wikipedia will keep the $1 million she earned from the project.Jean McCorquodale, wife of longtime South Bay politician Dan McCorquodale, was awarded a no-bid contract in 2018 to complete what ultimately became a 580-page manuscript turned in two years late to the county executive’s office — the department overseeing the project.A grant writer for the county for decades, Jean McCorquodale was selected as the project’s author because of her purported unique and unparalleled knowledge of the county’s history and leadership.
