INDIANAPOLIS — Now that he's has taken a year to learn the football operations' business, John Elway is continuing to rebuild the Broncos' front office in his own vision.

Two weeks after he promoted Matt Russell, the former University of Colorado linebacker star, to director of player personnel, Elway made another significant move this week when he brought in a new salary cap guru.

The Broncos did not renew the contract of Mike Bluem, their longtime capologist, and replaced him with Mike Sullivan, who oversaw Octagon Sports agency football division, and has been negotiating player contracts for the past 25 years.

Seems like he was the one helping us out when we have hard contracts to negotiate in the past anyway.

We kinda just cut out the middle man and hired THE man.

I don't think he was ever connected with the Broncos. It appears that he was on the other side:


Sullivan has negotiated contracts for 25 years, spending the last 11 seasons as player agent at Octagon. Some of the current players that Sullivan was representing for Octagon include Oakland Raiders linebacker Aaron Curry, Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch and cornerback Marcus Trufant, Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Rashean Mathis, Atlanta Falcons safety William Moore, Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Ziggy Hood and San Diego Chargers cornerback Quentin Jammer.
