John Elway announces his contract has expired with the Denver Broncos.

It appears that John Elway is no longer employed by the Denver Broncos. The Broncos legend announced that the team's new ownership did not renew his contract. Elway has been a part of the Broncos franchise since his playing days. The news that ownership has decided to go another direction is somewhat shocking. However, Elway understands the business side of things. As a member of the Broncos staff, he helped the team land Peyton Manning. A move that resulted in the franchise's third championship.

In an interview with 9News in Denver, Elway spoke about his recent departure. "I've enjoyed the relationship with the Broncos for a long, long time," Elway stated. "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 Greg or George, if I can." It is hard to imagine the Denver Broncos franchise without John Elway.

John Elway Happy With Results While In Denver

Elway's playing career was just as successful as his time in the front office. In Elway's final two years as the team's QB, the Broncos won back-to-back Super Bowls. The games were iconic and the perfect example of a player's perseverance. Elway has only been with the Broncos throughout his entire 28-year career. Being a part of one franchise for so many years is the definition of loyalty and success. However, Elway doesn't completely close the door to rejoining the team at a later time.

The Broncos' move to drop Elway is sending shockwaves through the league. New ownership is making a move that could ruffle feathers within the organization. However, Denver has been in need of a shake-up. The team has been getting raked over the coals with the recent addition of Russell Wilson. The former Seahawks QB was a shell of himself in the 2022 regular season. The Broncos moved a lot of future pieces to add the Super Bowl-winning QB. A move that could haunt the team later on down the road. For the latest news involving the NFL, stay locked in here at HNHH.
