Broncos GM search: George Paton leaves Denver without a deal.
History tells us that when John Elway gets “his guy” in the building, they don’t leave without a deal.
That’s not the case 100 percent of the time, but more often than not, if Elway has a candidate in mind, deals get done.
That was the case with their pursuit of head coach Vic Fangio, whose interview in Chicago back in 2019 was scheduled for the morning before the Broncos canceled flight plans to meet with Fangio even longer.
