Ian Rapoport reports that the Denver Broncos do not expect RB Knowshon Moreno to be back after the season.

Rapoport adds that Moreno is expected to test the open market in the coming months.

Moreno, 26, put together a breakout season for the Broncos, even after the team drafted Montee Ball in the second-round last year. He managed to top the 1,000 yard mark for the first time in his NFL career while maintaining a 4.3 yards per carry average to go along with 13 total touchdowns.

Moreno’s season comes as a bit of a surprise given that he had been mentioned as a potential release candidate before the start of the season. Denver has Ball, Ronnie Hillman and C.J. Anderson on their roster, but they may want to add a cheap veteran at some point during free agency to round out that group.

We have Moreno listed as the No. 25 player in our Top 50 Free Agents list.
