The Broncos are all in with their young quarterbacks, Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch. And any reports to the contrary are just “fake news,” according to Broncos’ president of football operations John Elway.
“Rumor of us being interested in anyone other than the QBs we have is another example of irresponsible, fake news!!” Elway tweeted Wednesday.

Elway sent the tweet shortly after the Broncos were actively pursuing a trade to acquire Cincinnati Bengals backup quarterback A.J. McCarron. Clough cited unnamed sources close to the Bengals.
Shortly after Clough’s report hit the airwaves Wednesday morning, The Denver Post’s Broncos beat writer Nicki Jhabvala also shot down the rumor as being “150 percent false.”
I'm told the Broncos are not trying to trade for AJ McCarron. "It's 150% false," source said.

Take this for what it's worth, but this is what John Elway has said about QBs Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch throughout the year.

The Broncos open the preseason Thursday at Chicago with Siemian to start and Lynch to come in after him. Lynch will get the start in game No. 2 against the 49ers.
