Brian Xanders is out as GM of the Broncos after three years in that role. Broncos boss John Elway said the decision to part ways with a year left on Xanders' contract was made in a meeting between the two men Monday. Xanders, 41, aspires to have final say on personnel matters after nearly two decades in the NFL, but that wasn't going to happen in Denver, where Elway is in his second season in charge.
