The Broncos entered into a sale agreement with the group led by Rob Walton and Greg Penner late Tuesday night. How did the franchise get to this point? A timeline:
— March 2009: Broncos’ owner Pat Bowlen signed an amended trust.
— July 2013: Bowlen relinquished day-to-day control of the Broncos due to Alzheimer’s and his controlling ownership was placed in a family trust overseen by Broncos president/CEO Joe Ellis, team counsel Rich Slivka and Denver attorney Mary Kelly. (Pat owned 77% of the team; his brother John owned the other 23%).
