Broncos Trade Up To Draft Paxton Lynch

Apr 30, 2016 9:58 AM

The Denver Broncos traded up to the No. 26 pick on Thursday night to draft Memphis quarterback Paxton Lynch.

Denver had the No. 31 pick, but worked a deal with the Seattle Seahawks. John Elway admitted that drafting Lynch means the team's pursuit of Colin Kaepernick is "probably over."

The Broncos traded the 31st pick and a third-round selection (94th) to the Seahawks for the 26th pick.

"It was obviously the greatest feeling," Lynch said. "This was a dream come true for me. The Denver Bronco organization is obviously one of the best in the league."

Agent: Sam Bradford Wants To Be Where 'He's The Man'

Apr 28, 2016 8:54 AM

Tom Condon confirmed on Monday night that his client, Sam Bradford, will sit out voluntary workouts and is seeking a trade from the Philadelphia Eagles.

"Sam's only been in the league for six years and he wants to go some place and be there and know that he's going to stay as long as he plays well, and his situation now in Philadelphia is different," Condon told SiriusXM NFL Radio.

"Sam's a competitor and he wants to go some place and know he's the man. He just doesn't want to be there holding the place card and then wondering where's he's going to go at the end of the year."

Bradford signed a two-year, $36 million deal with the Eagles on March 1, but the club signed Chase Daniel soon after and traded up with the Cleveland Browns for the No. 2 overall pick in this week's NFL draft.

John Elway: Colin Kaepernick Trade Talks Currently 'Dormant'

Apr 23, 2016 10:46 AM

John Elway says trade talks between the Denver Broncos and San francisco 49ers on Colin Kaepernick are "dormant."

Elway and Kaepernick met twice last month after the 49ers granted Kaepernick's request to pursue a trade. Unwilling to accept a revised contract offer from the Broncos, Kaepernick reported April 4 for the start of the 49ers offseason program.

"He's been working out from what I understand. That's all I'm going to say," Elway said in Denver at a pre-draft media session.

Brown said that the team hasn’t “solved the QB position by any stretch” by signing Robert Griffin III, and that Griffin has to “earn” the spot.
