The Facts: Unhappy with his contract, McGahee recently joined a long list of NFL players who have fired agent Drew Rosenhaus. The Broncos recently informed Rosenhaus they would not renegotiate McGahee's contract just one season into his four-year, $9.5 million contract.
Diehards Line:McGahee made $3 million last year on a $1 million salary and a $2 million signing bonus. This year, he's scheduled to draw a $2 million salary with no bonus this year. ... While McGahee is not expected to hold out, Post staffer Mike Klis notes the veteran's case for a new deal is based on making the Pro Bowl last season by leading the NFL's No. 1 rushing team with 1,199 yards and averaging 4.8 yards per carry. Given that production, McGahee's $2 million salary pales next to the expected running back franchise tag salary of about $7.7 million. At least nine NFL running backs average at least $5 million a year. The Broncos, though, can argue they were more than generous last season because McGahee had averaged only 532 rushing yards in his previous three years as a backup to Ray Rice in Baltimore. McGahee turns 31 in October.
