INDIANAPOLIS — While Broncos general manager is hoping to make his own free agent splashes, he has his own contract situation that needs to me addressed. Elway was upbeat and positive Wednesday when discussing whether he’ll remain in his current role beyond 2017.
“It’s going fine. It’s moving ahead,” Elway said, with his coined toothy smile. “I don’t anticipate any problems.”
Elway’s comments were more optimistic than they were when he spoke in January during the coaching switch.
Broncos president has remained confident he can work out a deal with Elway before his contract expires at the end of the 2017 season. Elway was also hopeful that a new contract would be finalized before he became a free agent.
Elway joined the Broncos’ front office in 2011 as head of the team’s football operations and, in 2014, when owner stepped down because of Alzheimer’s, Elway signed a three-year contract extension and added general manager to his title.
