John Elway led Denver to the Super Bowl faster as a front office executive than he did as a quarterback. On Wednesday, the Broncos extended his contract, which was set to expire after this year, through 2017 and added general manager to his title of executive vice president. Team President Joe Ellis lauded the work Elway has done so far, saying he's ''demonstrated great vision and leadership in his role, assembling a championship caliber team and positioning it for sustained success.''
