Mon, 22 Apr 2013 13:32:13 -0700 Denver Broncos executive vice president of football operations John Elway said the team likely will keep their first-round draft choice and will not look to make a trade.
Mon, 15 Apr 2013 16:28:13 -0700 Denver Broncos QB Peyton Manning wants the team to have an edge when they take the field in 2013. "I know that (executive vice president of football operations) John Elway wants to sort of set kind of an attitude and an edge around here -- maybe a little bit of an uncomfortable atmosphere -- which I believe in," Manning said.
Fri, 15 Mar 2013 05:38:18 -0700 The Denver Broncos could release DE Elvis Dumervil Friday, March 15, if he does not take a significant pay cut. Executive vice president John Elway said he wants Dumervil to realize there is no way he will get paid the $12 million salary on his current contract. "It's so far out of whack," Elway said of Dumervil's salary. "Hopefully, he realizes that."
Sat, 23 Feb 2013 07:49:49 -0800 Denver Broncos executive vice president John Elway said he does not see a single quarterback prospect in this year's NFL Draft to have an impact like many of the 2012 class did in their rookie campaigns. "There were two or three guys that came in and made a huge impact. And now you look at it, and there's not one guy that's jumping out at everybody at that position," Elway said. "It's hit or miss with who is coming out."
Mon, 18 Feb 2013 06:15:53 -0800 Denver Broncos vice president of football operations John Elway said he does not regret the decision to select QB Brock Osweiler in the second round of the NFL Draft despite the acquisition of QB Peyton Manning last offseason. Elway believes Osweiler will be a franchise quarterback for many years to come. "My thought was, we wanted a guy for the future, No. 1," Elway said. "No. 2, if it didn't work out with Peyton, we could load up with a guy that we liked and who could be the guy for the next 10, 12 years. And No. 3, if Peyton did come back and play like he did, then Brock could get a great education of how things were supposed to be done as a quarterback, what you had to go through, to see one of the best of all time do it."
Sat, 21 Jul 2012 06:24:12 -0700 Denver Broncos executive vice president of football operations John Elway said the team will need more than QB Peyton Manning to be considered a Super Bowl favorite this upcoming season. "One guy doesn't win a world championship for you, even though he gives you a hell of a chance to be able to compete," Elway said. "As I told (Manning), my job is to get the best quality people around him, the best coaches to give us the opportunity to win a world championship. It's fun to be able to put that puzzle together, but there are so many different pieces to put in a team that has the ability to win a world championship."
Mon, 25 Jun 2012 06:31:29 -0700 Denver Broncos executive vice president John Elway could eventually succeed Pat Bowlen as owner of the team.
Mon, 07 May 2012 22:51:17 -0700 The Denver Broncos and general manager Brian Xanders agreed to part ways Monday, May 7. "It was tough because I have a great deal of respect for Brian as a football man but also as a person," team president John Elway said.
Thu, 26 Apr 2012 06:51:58 -0700 The Denver Broncos would prefer to trade out of the first round of the NFL Draft if they can make a deal that benefits them. "Preferably, we'd like to go back," said executive vice president of football operations John Elway.
Sat, 17 Mar 2012 05:15:51 -0700 Denver Broncos executive vice president of football operations John Elway said free-agent QB Peyton Manning (Colts) looked comfortable during his workout session. "We enjoyed visiting with Peyton today in N.C.," Elway said via Twitter. "He threw the ball great and looked very comfortable out there."
Fri, 16 Mar 2012 08:38:27 -0700 The Denver Broncos plan to watch free-agent QB Peyton Manning (Colts) work out in North Carolina Friday, March 16. President John Elway, head coach John Fox, offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, quarterback coach Adam Gase, general manager Brian Xanders and the medical team will all be on hand.
Sat, 25 Feb 2012 05:09:19 -0800 The Denver Broncos will be keeping an eye on quarterback prospects at the NFL Scouting Combine. The team is looking to add two quarterbacks to the roster in the offseason. Vice president of football operations John Elway said he'll pay particular attention to mechanics like throwing motion and footwork when quarterbacks go through their drills Sunday, Feb. 26. "I don't know if we're looking for one like Tim or an ordinary drop-back (passer) or somewhere in between," Elway said. "I think that until we find out the interest out there, it's going to be hard to fill those spots, but I think that when I look at Tim and I look at our offense, we can do it with either one. Whether it be a guy like Tim or more of a drop-back kind of guy, either one is going to be able to fit."
Tue, 17 Jan 2012 07:15:50 -0800 Denver Broncos executive vice president John Elway said his plan to help QB Tim Tebow this offseason will come in concert with offensive coordinator Mike McCoy and position coach Adam Gase. The plan will include film study to augment on-field work "as far as different reads, where he's looking with different plays," Elway said.
Tue, 10 Jan 2012 08:25:01 -0800 Denver Broncos vice president of football operations John Elway said the medial collateral ligament injury to WR Eric Decker (knee) at the hands of Pittsburgh Steelers LB James Harrison was due to Harrison receiving multiple fines from the NFL for head shots. As a result, Harrison lowered his target when making hits. "The target is now lower," Elway said. "Harrison yesterday, because of the fact that he's been fined so often, really had no other option ... I don't think he intended to hurt Eric. But obviously because of the situations he's been in, he had to go low and stay away from the head. And it ended up costing an MCL sprain for Eric."
Wed, 04 Jan 2012 06:44:37 -0800 Denver Broncos executive vice president John Elway does not want QB Tim Tebow to show fear in the passing game. Instead, Elway wants Tebow to "pull the trigger." Elway said it will be important for Tebow to make plays in the passing game as the Pittsburgh Steelers likely will show the Broncos eight- and nine-man fronts in order to stop Denver's running game. Tebow has regressed over the last month. He's completed 30 of 74 passes (40.5 percent) for 439 yards and one touchdown with four interceptions, three lost fumbles and nine sacks during the team's three-game losing streak to end the season.
Tue, 06 Dec 2011 06:20:53 -0800 Denver Broncos executive vice president of football operations John Elway said he is seeing progress from QB Tim Tebow; however, Elway still will not commit to Tebow as the franchise quarterback past this season. "I know everybody wants to know, but our future's right now," Elway said. "When you look at where we are, the future is the Chicago Bears ... I think the city's excited about it, the fans are excited about where we are right now. The future is now, and I think the key thing is for us to continue to keep focused on each game coming up and try to win this division and get in the playoffs and see what happens."
Thu, 24 Nov 2011 05:53:39 -0800 Denver Broncos executive vice president John Elway said he is hopeful QB Tim Tebow is the team's long-term solution at the quarterback position. "I am very hopeful that Tim Tebow is our guy," Elway said. "Am I absolutely positive at this point in time? No I'm not. I want to believe that and that's what I want to happen."
Wed, 23 Nov 2011 05:53:08 -0800 Denver Broncos executive vice president John Elway said he will continue to evaluate the play QB Tim Tebow throughout the season and that he is not a lock to start next season despite the release of QB Kyle Orton. "We will look at the full body of work and then we'll evaluate this offseason, not only with Tim but the whole football team," Elway said.
Wed, 26 Oct 2011 04:50:47 -0700 Denver Broncos executive vice president John Elway said QB Tim Tebow showed some good signs in his 2011 debut; however, Elway added Tebow has plenty to improve upon moving forward. "His weakness now is he's still inexperienced and he's got to speed things up within the reads, within the passing game ... within the thought process and decision making process and be able to get the ball out to the open guy," Elway said.
Mon, 02 May 2011 07:04:29 -0700 Denver Broncos executive vice president of football operations John Elway said QB Tim Tebow will compete for the team's starting quarterback job along with QBs Kyle Orton and Brady Quinn. However, Elway added he believes in Tebow moving forward. "I think where we are as an organization, we are going with Tim," Elway said.
Tue, 22 Mar 2011 08:34:03 -0700 Denver Broncos vice president of football operations John Elway said the team is always looking for a franchise quarterback of the future, according to Mike Klis, of The Denver Post. "We're always looking for that guy," Elway said. "We may already have the guy who can pull the trigger and win us a championship someday. We may have him. We don't know. We believe in Tim (Tebow) but he's not there yet."
Mon, 07 Feb 2011 09:52:38 -0800 Denver Broncos vice president of football operations John Elway indicated that the team may be willing to trade the second overall pick if the salaries given to draft picks remain the same under a new collective bargaining agreement, reports Dave Kreiger, of The Denver Post. "We're in the process of setting that board up. The board is set, but as far as where we're going to go with it, we don't really know until we find out what's going to go on the collective bargaining agreement, because obviously that second pick is an expensive pick if it stays as it is. That's what we're hoping, that the collective bargaining agreement comes together quickly, and then once that comes together we can kind of figure out our philosophy going into this draft. Because where we are, we've got three picks in the top 46 picks, so we've got to make sure those hit, especially that second pick," Elway said.
Thu, 03 Feb 2011 07:01:39 -0800 Denver Broncos executive vice president of football operations John Elway said no decision has been made on the team's starting quarterback for 2011, according to Jeff Legwold, of The Denver Post. Elway added QB Kyle Orton is definitely part of the equation. When asked if Orton is still the team's starting quarterback, Elway responded, "If we had to go right now, but we've got to make a decision about where we're going to go. In my mind, we've got to figure out what we're going to do offensively at that position, and that's why I'm not guaranteeing anybody's going to start."
Wed, 05 Jan 2011 06:38:51 -0800 The Denver Broncos have hired former QB John Elway as their new executive vice president of football operation, reports Grey Caldwell, of DenverBroncos.com. He will work closely with general manager Brian Xanders while supervising the team's personnel department.
Tue, 04 Jan 2011 11:15:53 -0800 The Denver Broncos are interested in Stanford head coach Jim Harbaugh for their head coaching vacancy, according to ESPN.com's Bill Williamson.

Thu, 23 Dec 2010 06:50:42 -0800 Denver Broncos QB Kyle Orton said he does not agree with the team's decision to start QB Tim Tebow for the rest of the season, according to Jeff Legwold, of The Denver Post. Orton, who sat out the team's Week 15 game because of a rib injury, said Wednesday, Dec. 22, he believes he will be healthy enough to play the final two games but has been told Tebow will get the nod. "You never want to give up your job, you know?" Orton said. "We've worked hard as a unit for a number of months, and you'd like to be able to finish that out with your guys. It's disappointing not to be able to do that." The Broncos' new management team, possibly a new general manager to potentially join John Elway in a newly constructed front office to select a new head coach, will make the decision on Orton's future with the team beyond this season.
Mon, 13 Dec 2010 10:38:33 -0800 The Denver Broncos are looking to hire a general manager that will have the final say on all of the roster decision and take away that power from the head coach, reports Mike Klis, of The Denver Post. Current general manager Brian Xanders will be a candidate for the job but the team's front office is doing research on possible candidates. The Broncos may hire someone that would oversee the roster and the draft and keep Xanders as an assistant. The Broncos are expected to give former QB John Elway a front office executive position at some point.

Sat, 21 Mar 2009 02:38:56 -0700 The Associated Press reports former Denver Broncos QB John Elway said he is saddened for both the Broncos and QB Jay Cutler in the feud that could end with Cutler's departure. "Obviously, there was a lack of communication somewhere to where it blew this thing up to where it has got to now," Elway told The Pueblo Chieftain. "I'm sad for both sides. ... I understand Jay's feelings got hurt, but it's too bad it has got to where it is. I wish Jay would have got some better advice from whoever he was getting advice from."
Fri, 30 Jan 2009 13:21:07 -0800 Jim Wyatt, of The Tennessean, reports Denver Broncos QB Jay Cutler was asked Friday, Jan. 30, about the pressures of being a starter in Denver. Cutler said, "I don't think it's as bad as I thought it was going to be. You are going to hear stuff about [former QB] John Elway and there's a lot of pressure. Sometimes they are going to love you, sometimes they are going to hate you. But I think it is more or less the same in every city. Sometimes the expectations aren't as high. But if you're the quarterback you're going to have to deal with pressure and expectations."
Sat, 27 Dec 2008 03:24:08 -0800 Kevin Acee, of the San Diego Union-Tribune, reports Denver Broncos QB Jay Cutler needs four touchdown passes in Week 17 to break the franchise record of 27 in a season shared by former QB Jake Plummer and QB John Elway.

"JaMarcus Russell's only chance at NFL success is to get out of Oakland. OK, maybe that's harsh. But we all know it's his best chance at success," Elway said. Elway went on to criticize managing general partner Al Davis. "The fastest way to ruin a quarterback is to put him on a bad team, with a bad line, with no weapons, with no continuity in the coaching staff. That pretty much describes the current Raiders. The game has passed Al Davis by, and he's the only one who doesn't know it. Every time the Raiders get a good coach - Mike Shanahan, Jon Gruden, Norv Turner, etc. - who doesn't buy into Al's outdated program, he fires him."
Thu, 10 Apr 2008 11:19:15 -0700 The Associated Press reports former NFL QB John Elway was surprised by Denver Broncos QB Jay Cutler's comments regarding WR Brandon Marshall. Elway said Cutler needs to realize Marshall is still a kid and these things might happen. "If that's what Jay feels like he needs to comment on, he needs to do that," Elway said. "Personally, I would've done it to him. Even though I tried to settle things in the press, looking back over the years, it hasn't been the right way to do it."

Sat, 17 Mar 2007 11:29:26 -0700 The Associated Press reports former Denver Broncos owner Edgar Kaiser Jr. was rejected by a Denver district judge in an attempt to force current owner Pat Bowlen to sell him part of the team. Kaiser sold his 60.8 percent share of the Broncos to Bowlen in 1984, and he has already lost his case in federal court. A U.S. District Court jury ruled in favor of Kaiser in 2004, but the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overruled the decision. Kaiser argued that Bowlen violated the sales' agreement by offering former Broncos QB John Elway a share of the team. A three-judge panel of appellate court ruled the way the offer to Elway was structured was not covered by the provision of the contract.

Kaiser Jr. sold his 60.8 percent share of the team to Pat Bowlen in 1984 and sued in 1998 after Bowlen offered Elway a portion of the team. Kaiser has contended several times that Bowlen triggered a buyback provision in their sales contract that would have allowed Kaiser the right of first refusal when it comes to selling a portion of the team. It is unclear what steps Kaiser's attorney, Stephen Long, will take.
Wed, 08 Mar 2006 12:57:18 -0800 The Associated Press reports a federal appeals court Wednesday, March 8, heard arguments over an ownership dispute of the Denver Broncos. Former owner Edward Kaiser Jr. is seeking to buy back a portion of the franchise under the terms of a 1998 offer to former NFL QB John Elway. Keiser has said that current owner Pat Bowlen has violated a provision in a sales contract that would have allowed Kaiser the right of first refusal when it comes to selling a portion of the team.

Sat, 11 Feb 2006 09:34:47 -0800 Jeff Legwold, of the Rocky Mountain News, reports former Denver Broncos QB John Elway believes the Broncos are poised to compete for the Super Bowl in 2006. He also feels the team can compete for it without Philadelphia Eagles WR Terrell Owens. Elway said, "The question is Terrell, Terrell Owens, in a position now where he says, 'OK, I'm finally going to conform, be a team guy?' I personally don't think it's a good fit. But listen, it's easy for me to draw that conclusion, since I'm not making the call. But personally, it's just not something I would do. I think there is potential there to poison some things."
Mon, 12 Dec 2005 07:25:16 -0800 The Tennessean reports Tennessee Titans QB Steve McNair passed former Denver Broncos QB John Elway on the NFL's all-time rushing list for quarterbacks.

Mon, 18 Jul 2005 20:50:13 -0700 Andrew Mason, of DenverBroncos.com, reports Denver Broncos QB Jake Plummer has a 19-8 regular-season record as Denver's starter and the Broncos are one of only five teams with at least 10 wins in both 2003 and 2004. However, Plummer is 0-2 in the playoffs.

Beasley of BaltimoreRavens.com. "There have been a lot of mistakes in this league," said Fassel. "Steve Young, a young quarterback in Tampa Bay, and they ran him out of town. 'He's no-good, can't play in this league.' Now he's a Hall of Famer with the 49ers. Brett Favre was traded away from Atlanta. They had given up on him. Shipped him off to Green Bay. John Elway – nobody knows this – but they tried to trade him after his second year. Jim Plunkett – ran out of New England, takes Oakland to the Super Bowl."
Mon, 16 Aug 2004 22:15:36 -0700 Andrew Mason, of DenverBroncos.com, reports the Denver Broncos have started 0-2 in the preseason for the first time since 1986 -- a season that ended with John Elway's first Super Bowl appearance, which followed "The Drive" in the AFC Championship Game at Cleveland.
