The writing was on the wall for former Notre Dame football running back Audric Estime all the way back to this spring. The Denver Broncos selected former UCF RB R.J. Harvey with the No. 60 pick overall in the most recent NFL draft. It was high enough that it should have convinced Estime that his job was officially in trouble.
On Monday, just ahead of the official waiver deadline, Estime was officially cut loose by the Broncos and he'll now have to look for another team if he wants to continue his NFL career. The waiver was also not all that surprising, considering that the former Irish ball-carrier struggled with injuries throughout his time with Denver, including various bumps and bruises this year.
