The Denver Broncos are expected to be sold this offseason, potentially to the highest bidder. Even if the next owner is not very football savvy, though, Broncos president/CEO Joe Ellis believes the football side of the team will be left in good hands under general manager George Paton.
Ellis’ contract is set to expire this spring, so Paton has been leading the team’s head coach search, and he will continue leading the team’s football operations going into the 2022 offseason.
“I like everything about his thoroughness, his work ethic, his ability to administrate, his understanding of football, his understanding of what it takes to put a team together [and] to put a team on the field that has an opportunity to win every game,” Ellis said during his end-of-season press conference when asked about Paton.
