It has been announced that John Elway, the face of the Denver Broncos has seen his time under contract with the franchise come to an end.
The NFL Network’s James Palmer reported that on Tuesday, April 4th, Elway’s consulting deal with the Broncos finished at the conclusion of the league year last month and the club will not be renewing it.
“I’ve enjoyed the relationship with the Broncos for a long, long time,” Elway, 62, said in an interview Tuesday with 9NEWS. “I told Greg I’d be happy to be a resource for him and help in any way that I can. I just wanted the flexibility. They’re in great hands. I still plan on being around to watch and be a resource for [CEO] Greg [Penner] or [general manager] George [Paton] if I can.”
This news comes after 16 seasons as a player and more than a decade in the front office for the Broncos. Elway led the Broncos to five Super Bowls with two victories in a playing career that stretched from 1983-1998, ultimately leading him to enshrinement in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
