Elway had a busy day Monday. The Broncos' general manager met with Peyton Manning, the Broncos quarterback who is two months away from his 39th birthday. Manning said Sunday after the playoff loss to Indianapolis he was unsure about whether he would return to the Broncos next season.

Elway and Manning decided it was best to wait before making such a decision.

Elway then met with Fox. Their meeting reached a more definitive conclusion. 

 

Fox, meanwhile, would have preferred a little more authority with the draft and roster.

 

 

The Broncos had not considered dismissing Fox, but became concerned by a Fox Sports report Sunday morning, a few hours before Denver's game against Indianapolis.

The report by Jay Glazer, a close friend of Fox, said that should the Broncos lose to the Colts, "could John Fox become available? If he is, he'll shoot to the top of many of these (head coaching candidates) list."

The Broncos became concerned that Fox was unhappy and was keeping his options open to coach elsewhere. According to a team source, the report "opened the door" to the meeting Monday between Elway and Fox.

 

 

This is very interesting.  Team putting this out like it was mostly Foxy.  Although, of note....Elway met with Manning first.

It is interesting, but this sounded like Fox wanting out of Denver from the get go. I don't think he wanted to take the chance of being the HC in Denver and Peyton not come back so he had Glazer leak that information yesterday before the game.  Which got him his meeting and got him a ticket out of Denver....so Fox got what he wanted.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
