John Elway is giving his clearest indication yet that he’s going to pursue Kirk Cousins Renell Wren Jersey , the prize of this year’s free-agent quarterbacks.
”We’re going to explore all options in free agency and see where that goes,” Elway said Wednesday at the NFL combine. ”Obviously we’ve got the fifth pick in the draft, too. That will all play into it. We’ll continue to look at all of the options out there when it comes to quarterback.”
The Denver Broncos general manager stressed that he’ll look at ”anybody that won’t be under contract.”
With the Washington Redskins moving on to Alex Smith, whom they’ve agreed to acquire from Kansas City, that group of free agents would include Cousins, who figures to command more than the record $27.5 million that Jimmy Garoppolo will receive in his new deal with the San Francisco 49ers.
Elway said he’s confident the team could absorb a big free-agent contract under the salary cap, revealed the Broncos are considering moving Ronald Leary back to left guard and indicated highly paid receivers Demaryius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders aren’t going anywhere.
The returns of tight end Jake Butt and slot receiver Carlos Henderson, who spent their rookie years on IR last season, could help bolster the Broncos’ offense, as well.
Elway has been stung by the draft selections of Brock Osweiler and Paxton Lynch, but he hit the jackpot six years ago when he landed Peyton Manning.
The Broncos have missed the playoffs each of the two seasons after Manning retired, including a 5-11 season last year when they cycled through quarterbacks Trevor Siemian, Osweiler and Lynch twice .
Elway said he’s eager to see the promising class of college quarterbacks this week that features Baker Mayfield Greedy Williams Jersey , Josh Allen, Sam Darnold, Josh Rosen, Lamar Jackson and Mason Rudolph.
”There is a possibility of some really good quarterbacks coming out of this draft,” Elway said.
Elway got burned two years ago when he moved up to take Lynch with the 26th overall pick only to watch him founder on the sideline most of the past two seasons.
”Believe me, I’m not done swinging and missing,” Elway said with a laugh. ”Misses don’t bother me. We just have to figure out a way to get it right. That is what we are working on.”
Even with so much uncertainty at quarterback, Elway has been in a good mood this week.
Elway is also a member of the league’s competition committee which has been discussing simplifying the catch rule that’s become so cumbersome in recent seasons and which commissioner Roger Goodell has put atop his offseason fix-it list.
Elway said the competition committee is making progress in that regard.
”I think it’ll be much simpler and I think everyone will understand what a catch is and what it isn’t,” Elway said. ”I think that we’re in the process of everything that we covered so far, it’s going to be much better.”
So, ”survive the ground” will soon be out of the NFL’s lexicon.
”Yeah, going to the ground, that’ll be changed,” Elway said.
Goodell wanted the league to go back and start from scratch after tweaks to the rule only made it more troublesome.
”Or let’s go back to what the old definition of what a catch was, right? Two feet down Sheldrick Redwine Jersey , control and move and then you’ve got a catch,” Elway said. ”That’s what it’s going to be more like.”

He was not charged with a crime.Cellphone video posted by celebrity website TMZ appeared to show Elliott speaking with a woman and then with several security and event staff members, including one who falls backward over a metal parking area barricade before police arrive. Elliott is handcuffed and led away.Elliott’s agent Frank Salzano said Monday that Elliott was released shortly after the video ends; that event security misconstrued the situation and overreacted; and that Elliott left Las Vegas for Dallas to be at his youth football camp on Sunday. The agent identified the woman in the video as Elliott’s girlfriend.Salzano declined to respond to the police statement.“The video speaks for itself http://www.brownsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-austin-seibert-jersey ,” he said.The NFL declined to comment on the situation.Elliott has twice led the NFL in rushing since being drafted in 2016. He has 4,048 yards rushing and 28 TDs on the ground over his three-year career.He was suspended by the NFL in 2017 for six games for violating the league’s personal conduct policy after an investigation of allegations he had several physical confrontations in the summer of 2016 with his girlfriend at the time.Elliott denied the allegations, saying he was not an abuser, and fought the suspension for several weeks in several courts before finally serving the suspension.
