BRONCOS

McGahee signs

Veteran running back Willis McGahee has signed with the Denver Broncos. McGahee, 29, figures to complement incumbent starter Knowshon Moreno with his powerful style. New coach John Fox wants to lean heavily on the running game after the Broncos were pass-heavy in 2010 under Josh McDaniels. The 6-foot, 235-pound McGahee spent four seasons with the Baltimore Ravens after four years with the Bills. McGahee has 1,541 career carries for 6,167 yards and 55 touchdowns.
