Agent Says Broncos to Cut Maurice Clarett

By EDDIE PELLS, AP Sports Writer

Sunday, August 28, 2005

Unable to practice much or play at all during the preseason, Maurice Clarett will be released by the Denver Broncos later this week, his agent said Sunday.

Agent Steven Feldman said Clarett, the troubled running back who the Broncos surprisingly chose in the third round of this year's draft, will be released when the Broncos make their first round of cuts.

"They didn't contact me, per se," Feldman said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press. "The kid called me and let me know they're going to let him go."

Clarett's pending release also was reported by ESPN.com on Sunday.

Broncos spokesman Jim Saccomano said the team didn't plan to release anybody until Tuesday.

The pending release marks a disappointing start to the NFL career of the former Ohio State running back, who missed two years of football after leading the Buckeyes to the national title.

Most thought he was a low draft pick, if a draft pick at all, and the Broncos surprised many by making him the final selection on the first day of the draft.

Clarett made the unusual move of agreeing to a contract that included no signing bonus. He relinquished what would have been about a $400,000 bonus in exchange for incentives that could have earned him up to $7 million over four years.

If a team claims him off waivers, it will assume the terms of the contract. More likely is that Clarett will clear waivers, become a free agent and sign a new deal.

"I'd love to see someone pick up the contract," Feldman said. "The way the incentives in the contract are, he won't get them with another team."

Clarett came in and said he simply wanted to start over and blend in. He talked a good game, but his chances of making the team were hurt early in training camp when he injured his groin and missed nearly two weeks of practice.

Some teammates questioned Clarett's commitment to rehabilitating the groin and as the missed practices piled up, coach Mike Shanahan stopped defending Clarett to the media.

Clarett stopped talking to reporters. In one of his last interviews, he told the Denver Post he wanted to be with the Broncos, but "if I get cut, if I don't have a place here, it won't be my first setback."

Clarett was listed fifth on the depth chart behind Mike Anderson, Tatum Bell, Quentin Griffin and Ron Dayne, who is having a good camp. Shanahan did not play Clarett in any of Denver's three preseason games.

"I think at this point, I'm sure the Broncos did what they thought they needed to do," Feldman said.

Asked if his client was completely healthy, the agent said, "I'm certain he is."

As for Clarett's mood Sunday: "I'd really rather not comment," Feldman said.

Report: Falcons cut Price

Peerless Price

Sports Network

8/30/2005 1:47:47 PM

Flowery Branch, GA (Sports Network) - The Atlanta Falcons reportedly cut wide receiver Peerless Price on Tuesday.

According to the Atlanta-Journal Constitution, Price received the news prior to morning practice. The paper went on to say that Price sped off in his car, but not before saying to an AJC photographer, "I hate ya'll."

The University of Tennessee product failed to live up to expectations in Atlanta. After putting up career-bests of 1,252 yards and nine touchdowns on 94 catches with the Bills in 2002, he was traded to the Falcons and received a $10 million signing bonus as part of a $37 million contract.

Last season, Price had 45 catches for 575 yards and three touchdowns. During his two-year stint with the club, he totaled only 1,413 yards and six scores on 109 catches.

In his six-year career, Price has tallied 4,715 yards and 28 touchdowns on 341 catches in 96 games.

Price was also heard muttering "That bitch don't throw the ball enough."
