John Elway has signed a five-year contract with the Denver Broncos.

Elway will remain with the Broncos through at least 2021.

“We’re pleased to reach an agreement on a five-year contract with John to continue leading our football operations,” CEO Joe Ellis said. “During these last six seasons, John’s clearly established himself as one of the best general managers in all of sports. He’s demonstrated impressive football instincts, a strong business acumen and a consistent ability to build competitive teams.

“There’s no doubt John means a great deal to the Broncos, our fans and the entire community. It was important for us to reach this long-term agreement, and we’re all excited to now turn our full attention toward the 2017 season.”
