Denver Broncos general manager John Elway borrowed a page from the playbook of United States President Donald Trump on Wednesday by declaring rumors the team is seeking to acquire another quarterback before the 2017 season "fake news."
Sandy Clough of 104.3 The Fan in Denver reported earlier Wednesday the Broncos were "aggressively pursuing" a trade for Cincinnati Bengals backup QB AJ McCarron.
Elway took to social media to downplay the speculation:
John ElwayRumor of us being interested in anyone other than the QBs we have is another example of irresponsible, fake news!
