John Elway No Longer With Broncos After Contract Expires

The Hall of Famer has been employed by Denver for 28 of the franchise's 63 seasons.

The most recognizable face in Broncos history has seen his tenure with Denver has come to an end.

Hall of Fame quarterback John Elway is no longer employed by the Broncos in a consulting role, according to a Tuesday report from James Palmer of NFL Network. His contract expired at the end of the league year and will not be renewed by mutual agreement.

Elway moved into consulting after the 2021 season, during which he served as the club’s president of football operations. Before that, he spent 2011 to ’20 as Denver’s general manager, winning Super Bowl 50 with the Broncos in 2015.

Altogether, Elway has spent 28 of the Broncos’ 63 seasons in a playing, executive or consulting role—more than 40% of the franchise’s history.

"I've enjoyed the relationship with the Broncos for a long, long time," Elway told 9NEWS, Denver’s NBC affiliate. “They’re in great hands. I still plan on being around to watch and be a resource for [CEO] Greg [Penner] or [general manager] George [Paton] if I can.”
