03/05/2010 - Englewood, CO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Denver Broncos have brought back running back J.J. Arrington.
Arrington originally signed a four-year deal worth a reported $10 million with Denver last offseason, but was subsequently waived after failing a physical and spent 2009 out of football.
It was reported at the time Arrington needed microfracture surgery on his right knee -- the same knee he had surgery on in the 2008 offseason prior to signing the first time around.
A release from the team did not indicate whether the four-year pro underwent any kind of procedure.
Arrington spent his first four NFL seasons with the Cardinals, who made the California product their second-round selection in 2005. He rushed for a career-high 370 yards and two touchdowns in his rookie season and spent the next three years as a third-down back.
In 58 career games, Arrington has rushed for 654 yards and three touchdowns to go with 693 receiving yards and two scores on 91 grabs.
A Denver Post report Friday also indicated that former Ravens defensive end Justin Bannan and the Broncos have agreed on a five-year contract to become the team's starting nose tackle.
Bannan, who spent the last four seasons with Baltimore, returns to the Denver area to play football for the first time since a stellar college career with the Colorado Buffaloes. Playing in all 16 games for Baltimore last season, including two starts, the 30-year-old made 35 combined tackles.
In eight seasons with the Ravens and Bills, Bannan has totaled 202 tackles, 5 1/2 sacks and one interception.

In terms of sports wagering, the NFL is "the most popular game in town." The explanation behind that is easy.
It is called the "pointspread."
Many years ago, NFL games, as well as the more popular college games, used straight odds as a vehicle for betting. For example, if the Bears were playing the Giants, and it shaped up as a competitive contest, the Bears might be, say, a 7/5 favorite. If they were playing an also-ran, it might be 10/1. Well, there is a point where a line becomes prohibitive, as far as betting the favorite. And who would waste money betting an underdog that has virtually no chance? Such a setup did not contribute to promoting betting action.
But in modern sports betting, a "pointspread" is used.
A NFL pointspreads are exactly that, a pre-established point difference between the two sides that will, for all intents and purposes, create a handicap that evens things out, and in doing so, produces comparable wagering activity on both sides of that proposition. So in lieu of a odds figure in which to bet the team to win outright, the Bears might be a three-point favorite over the New York Giants, and a 17-point favorite over the also-ran. Now that the team that is the underdog can "get" points, there can be equal action on both sides.
In sportsbooks, this is usually done with efficiency by charging the losing bettors 10% extra - in effect, bettors are laying 11/10 on those games. So they are actually betting $110 to win $100. If they lose, they pay the "vig." If they win, they simply collect.
The establishment of the pointspread as the corner stone around which team sports like football can be wagered upon was truly what brought gridiron betting into the stratosphere for online football betting .
