Taking a break from the 2020 NFL Draft coverage, John Elway addressed the media regarding the contract status of All-Pro safety Justin Simmons, the team's franchise player in 2020.
Contract talks with Simmons are 'active' according to Elway, and offers and counters have already been exchanged between the two parties.
“As far as Justin, we’re in negotiations right now. We’ve given them an offer. They gave us an offer back. We’re in active negotiations with Justin.”
