Running back Theo Riddick is headed west for the 2019 season.

On Thursday NFL Network reported that the 28 year old signed a one year, $2.5 million contract with the Denver Broncos, including $1 million guaranteed.

The veteran rusher was originally drafted in the 6th round by the Lions in 2013 and would spent his first six seasons in the NFL with the team. In his six year NFL career the 5’10/201 pound back has played in 84 games, starting 19 and amassed 288 rushes for 1,023 rushing yards and 5 rushing touchdowns, along with 285 receptions for 2,238 receiving yards and 14 receiving touchdowns.

The signing gives the Broncos an overcrowded backfield with Phillip Lindsay, Devontae Booker and Royce Freeman already vying for a spot on the 53-man roster.
