John Elway says the Denver Broncos haven't given up on Paxton Lynch as a possible quarterback of the future.

Paxton failed to beat out Trevor Siemian for the starting job multiple times, but that doesn't mean the front office has lost faith in him.

"We are not kicking him to the curb," Elway said. "He can still develop. When we drafted him two years ago, as I said, we knew it was going to take some time."

The Broncos, however, have just one more year to decide whether to pick up the fifth-year option on Lynch's rookie contract.

Denver signed Case Keenum in free agency and have Chad Kelly as a possible No. 2.

"Paxton is going to compete with Chad for that backup spot," Elway said. "We are not going to bring another one in for OTAs. We will take a peek at that. It will be those two and Case."
