John Elway is entering the final year of his contract with the Denver Broncos, but he's confident that a new deal will be signed before the start of the 2017 season.

Elway insists that there are no issues in negotiations to remain Denver's general manager and executive vice president of football operations.

"We're continuing to work at it. I don't see any problems with that. I look forward to being here with the Broncos for a long time," Elway said.

Elway added, "I don't think there will be any doubt" that the deal will get done by the time the Broncos begin the season Sept. 11 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
