The Denver Broncos are going to be getting a new voice in their front office. This is after Hall of Famer John Elway has been making all the football decisions for the franchise in the past 10 years.

The Broncos confirmed on Tuesday that the organization intends to hire a general manager ahead of the 2021 NFL season. The new GM will take on most of Elway’s duties, including roster moves, draft choices, and free agency dealings.

Elway will assume a new role moving forward and will act as the Broncos’ President of football operations.

“I knew there was going to be a time at some point in time, this was a position I would, hopefully, move to,” said Elway during a press conference. “It gave me the opportunity to move up and I think it’s the right time for me.”

Elway will be at the front of the GM search with CEO Joe Ellis, director of player personnel Matt Russell, and head coach Vic Fangio. Several names have already been linked with the opening, including San Francisco 49ers senior football vice president Adam Peters and Tampa Bay Buccaneers director of player personnel John Spytek.

John Elway joined the Denver Broncos in an executive role in 2011, having previously led the franchise to two Super Bowls as a quarterback during the late ’90s. Elway was handed all the decision-making power, and he did the best with it early on.

In the first five years under Elway in a management role, the Broncos won five AFC titles, made two Super Bowl trips, and won Super Bowl 50.

The next five, however, were less successful. Elway didn’t do a good job in finding a replacement for retired quarterback Peyton Manning, and the Broncos failed to make the playoffs ever since while recording just one winning season.

Denver Broncos quarterback Paxton Lynch has had some rough time in the past week. Lynch, first round pick from 2016 NFL Draft, was first demoted to the third-string quarterback and is now being booed by his own fans.

In the second preseason game, 23-24 loss against the Chicago Bears, Paxton Lynch took the field late in the third quarter and received loud boos. It didn’t help that the 24-year-old had another lousy game after stepping onto the field. Lynch completed less than half of his passes, 5 out of 11, and passed for 39 yards while receiving two sacks. In the first preseason game, Lynch was 6 of 11 for 24 yards and had an interception.

“I just haven’t been playing well. It’s not acceptable, especially playing quarterback here. You have to play well and give (the Broncos) an opportunity to win every week,“- said Lynch said after the game. “Yeah, if you don’t believe in yourself then no one else is going to believe in you. That’s what I’ve got to do, I’ve got to hang on that and come to work every day and believe I can get better.“

Broncos coach Vance Joseph said on Saturday that he feels terrible about Lynch but understands the fans.

“I feel bad for Paxton, but our fans want to win,” – said Joseph. “That’s what it’s about. It’s about passion, I should say. But I feel bad for Paxton. He has to ignore it and go play. It’s professional football. No one is going to hold your hand, so he has to go out there and perform.”

After being selected 26th overall, Paxton Lynch spent his rookie season serving as a backup for Trevor Siemian. He played in three games and finished the 2016 season with 497 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, and one interception. In the last season, due to a combination of injuries and bad play, Lynch started two games and had 295 passing yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions.
