Murray isn't entering the NFL draft, he's playing baseball.

With all do respect, it's not quite as cut and dried as what you seems to be saying. At the time was signed we had two young quarterbacks on the roster and neither of them was ready to start and now neither of them is on the team. If Elway really thinks Keenum is all that and a bag of chips why did he only sign him to a two year deal? IIRC the only real consensus on the board last year at draft time was don't take quarterback because each of the top five quarterbacks Mayfield, Rosen, Allen, Darnold, and Jackson all had huge question marks. Finally, while it's still just speculation the two quarterbacks Elway appeared be most interested taken at 1 and 3 and it's unlikely either team was willing to move down from those spots.

When did you hear this? I heard he was leaning towards football and will make more money in football.

He’s almost certain to make more money in baseball

As much as we had high hopes for Kelly, I’m not sure Elway thought he was more than a backup. If he was truly in our future plans, we would have found an excuse to keep him after the Halloween incident

As for Lynch, Elway was too stubborn to admit he was wrong until he basically had no choice. The idea of not drafting a QB this year because we were waiting for Lynch to get better is sad. It was clear he was a bust. No other team picked him up after we cut him, and in a league where Josh Johnson is starting this week, that says something

And less injury concern.

Lynch wasn't the reason we didn't draft a QB either. The ones Elway was reportedly interested in the most were off the board and Chubb being there at 5 ensured we didn't take Rosen or Allen.

His agent flat out stated it this week.

For this year it is his team. What were they suppose to say?

Not exactly correct. In the long term yes, if he makes it and if he makes a second contract. I just read a whole thing that was put together about it. Initially, in football, he would make a lot more than baseball. Long term, it is not even close, however.

Aha, I had not seen that yet. Ok, so it was very recent. Good to know.

If Elway was willing to take Darnold or Mayfield if available how was Elway being stubborn, assuming the rumor are true that he was interested in those two quarterbacks? Some fans had high hopes for Kelly, I wasn't one of those who assumed he could be to a franchise quarterback, I wasn't against it , but I also wasn't holding my breath about it either. Aside from draft issue, my main point is Keenum doesn't appear to be seen as long term solution by the Broncos.

If Kyler Murray gets one free agent contract in baseball it will blow away what he could make in the NFL.
