SAN FRANCISCO – Congratulations, John Elway. You won the Super Bowl.
Now what?
Seventeen years ago, as a Hall of Fame quarterback and Super Bowl MVP, the answer was, “I’m going to Disneyland!” Monday morning, not so much.
Monday morning, Elway was the general manager going back to work on a Denver Broncos team that woke up with the Super Bowl 50 Lombardi Trophy, 17 free agents and a legendary quarterback who isn’t expected to return. Monday morning, Super Bowl 50 MVP Von Miller was a free agent whose starting point in negotiations is the six-year, $101 million deal that Chiefs outside linebacker Justin Houston signed.
