Broncos GM John Elway said he spoke with S T.J. Ward‘s agent, but didn’t discuss an extension or a potential pay cut before they released him.
“I talked to his agent, but knew that we weren’t going to,” Elway said, via Pro Football Talk. “We weren’t going to do that at that point of time.
“I would like to clear another thing up. We did not ask him to take a pay cut either. That was not in any discussions either, so just wanted to make that clear.
