After the Broncos and John Elway agreed to a five-year contract extension -- through the 2021 season -- Broncos president Joe Ellis said, in a statement, that "John's clearly established himself as one of the best general managers in all of sports. He's demonstrated impressive football instincts, a strong business acumen and a consistent ability to build competitive teams." And in the statement Elway said: "I appreciate the trust and confidence that Joe has shown in me ... This is a special place, and the Broncos are home to me. While there's still a lot of work to be done, I'm excited about the future of this team and this organization."
