The Broncos’ search to replace John Elway has stretched into week two. At present, it looks like three serious candidates remain: the Minnesota Vikings’ assistant general manager, George Paton; the New Orleans Saints’ assistant general manager Terry Fontenot; and the Chicago Bears’ assistant director of player personnel, Champ Kelly.
Today we learned that both Fontenot and Paton will receive second interviews with the Broncos, which suggests they’ve both passed Kelly up as the leader for the general manager job. However, KOA’s Benjamin Allbright has reported there is a real possibility Kelly is hired to replace the outgoing Matt Russell.
