ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos have a unique situation at quarterback, and that's just fine with the guy who drafted them -- John Elway.
The Broncos' executive vice president of football operations/general manager has two young players at the position -- Trevor Siemian just turned 25 and Paxton Lynch just finished his rookie season. And they will account for only a small slice of the salary-cap pie in 2017, as both are still on their rookie contracts.
So, the Broncos believe they have two potential starters at a fraction of the cap cost most teams face at the position, and Elway says he believes with an elite defense the Broncos can still be in the Super Bowl conversation -- if those two force each other to raise their game to win the job.
