Broncos’ John Elway says he might still seek a veteran backup QB

General manager John Elway said Tuesday that he might still sign a veteran to back up starting QB Case Keenum if he doesn’t feel Chad Kelly can win games in a pinch.

“I’m not going to tell you we’re definitely going to stand pat, but I’m not telling you we’re going [in] that direction, either,” Elway told 103.5 The Fox radio station in Denver.

The Broncos promoted Kelly over former first-round pick Paxton Lynch this week following their contrasting performances in training camp and in the preseason opener last weekend, when Lynch threw for just 24 yards over seven series with the second string.
