In a groundbreaking move that has sent waves of excitement through the NFL community, Denver Broncos President Damani Leech has officially announced that an NFL Hall of Fame legend will join the team as a new co-owner. The announcement, made earlier today, marks a historic moment for the Broncos franchise, ushering in a new era of leadership and investment as the team moves forward into the future.
While the identity of the new co-owner was initially kept under wraps, it was later revealed that the Hall of Fame legend in question is none other than John Elway, the Broncos’ iconic former quarterback and longtime team figure. Elway, who led the team to two Super Bowl victories and is widely regarded as one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time, will now have a significant stake in the franchise, further cementing his legacy in Denver’s football history.
Damani Leech expressed his excitement and pride over the move, calling it a “game-changer” for the franchise. “We are incredibly excited to welcome John Elway as a co-owner of the Denver Broncos,” Leech said in a statement. “John’s unparalleled passion for the team, his commitment to the community, and his deep understanding of what it takes to succeed at the highest levels of professional football make him the perfect addition to our ownership group. This is an exciting new chapter for the Broncos, and we look forward to working together to build on our proud legacy.”
Elway’s involvement with the Broncos goes back decades. As a player, he was the face of the franchise for many years, earning numerous accolades, including two Super Bowl championships and an NFL MVP award. After retiring as a player, Elway continued to be a prominent figure in the organization, serving as the team’s executive vice president of football operations, a role in which he played a key part in building the team that won Super Bowl 50.
Now, as a co-owner, Elway’s influence will extend beyond the field and front office. His deep understanding of the game, leadership qualities, and experience in the business of professional football will undoubtedly shape the Broncos’ future both on and off the field. Fans of the Broncos, who have long admired Elway’s contributions to the team, are thrilled by the prospect of him playing an even greater role in the organization moving forward.
The move also comes at a time when the Broncos are entering a new era of ownership, with a refreshed commitment to building a competitive team. Under the new leadership group, the franchise aims to return to its former glory and reclaim a place among the NFL’s elite teams. Elway’s presence as co-owner is expected to bring both stability and a renewed sense of purpose to the organization.
As the Broncos head into the 2025 season, the team’s supporters are hopeful that this new chapter, with Elway now officially part of the ownership group, will propel the franchise toward greater success in the coming years. The announcement of his co-ownership is just the beginning of what promises to be an exciting and dynamic period for the Denver Broncos.
