John Elway’s contractual connection with the Denver Broncos has come to a close.
The pre-eminent figure in franchise history never figures to end up too far from the team he led to a pair of Super Bowl titles as a quarterback, and then to another title as its general manager. But his contract with the franchise concluded at the end of the league year last month and is not being renewed, the team confirmed Tuesday.
Elway did not return phone calls from The Post seeking comment, but the Hall of Fame quarterback did confirm the news to 9News, saying the franchise is “in good hands,” under its new ownership.
