John Elway's Broncos Contract Expires; Legend Reveals He Has 'Amicably Departed'

Denver Broncos legend John Elway revealed Tuesday night that he is no longer under contract with the Broncos in any capacity.

Speaking to 9News (h/t Chris Tomasson of the Denver Gazette), Elway said his contract expired, and the decision was made to "amicably" depart the organization following a meeting with Broncos owner and CEO Greg Penner.

Elway had been the Broncos' general manager from 2011 until 2020 before stepping aside in favor of George Paton and becoming president of football operations. Last season, Elway served as an outside consultant to Paton.
