Pack's Toney Baker released by Denver Broncos

Hate to see Toney Baker get released by the Denver Broncos, which happened Monday. Baker could have returned to N.C. State this season, which would have been his sixth in school, but decided to try to play pro football.

However, Baker's chances of making the team dropped when the Broncos signed former Raider Justin Fargas to beef up what was already a crowded backfield. Baker certainly could have helped a Wolfpack team that takes an untested backfield into the 2010 season, but you can't blame him for wanting to take his chances at the NFL after five years of school.
