NFL: Broncos still waiting for top pick, Knowshon Moreno, to show up

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — Knowshon Moreno has been a no-show for a week.

The Denver Broncos’ top draft pick missed his 13th training camp practice Friday after his agent and the team failed to hash out the final details of his contract that is expected to include $13 million in guarantees.
Moreno, a running back from the University of Georgia, was the 12th overall pick in the draft. When he does sign, he’ll join a crowded backfield that includes free agents LaMont Jordan and Correll Buckhalter and second-year holdovers Peyton Hillis and Ryan Torain.
Moreno’s agent, Ben Dogra, didn’t return phone calls and e-mails from The Associated Press.
