The big question of the day: Ronnie Hillman or Kapri Bibbs.
The Denver Broncos came out of the preseason with five running backs, but they’re only likely to take three into their Week 1 matchup versus the Carolina Panthers. Juwan Thompson was cut earlier Friday morning and C.J. Anderson and Devontae Booker are locks to make the final roster.
That leaves Hillman and Bibbs for that third and final spot.
According to Vic Lombardi, the Broncos may be looking to solve that problem by shipping Hillman out of town.

Hillman is the more dynamic of the two backs, but he’s also the most expensive, carrying a $2 million cap hit into the season. Not to mention, he has no special teams value, which is a major negative.
Asked two GMs about Ronnie Hillman's trade value and both of their responses were … "He doesn't play special teams…''

The Broncos will have to make a decision by Saturday’s 2:00 p.m. deadline.
