Denver Broncos legend John Elway is no longer employed by the franchise as his consulting contract ended and will not be renewed.
Elway confirmed his departure to 9News in Denver on Tuesday, saying the new ownership of the team puts the Broncos "in good hands." His contract as a consultant expired on the first day of the 2023 NFL league year, March 15.
Elway, 62, said the decision was made after a meeting with new co-owner Greg Penner, who has called Elway the "ultimate Bronco."
From 2011-21, Elway ran the Broncos' front office as general manager and executive vice president of football operations.
