John is no Longer with the Broncos
John, although he has decided not to expand the family with her second wife, still spends loads of time with his children and grandchildren whenever he’s free.
John’s two Children, Jessica and Jack, even played as College Athletes at Stanford University and Arizona State University.
After a couple of years into his second marriage, Elway officially started his executive role with the Denver Broncos.
He was named both the General Manager and Executive Vice President of Football Operations on January 5, 2011.
The former Broncos GM, who built their Super Bowl 50 team, is now retired from front-office roles but remains active as a mentor.
Under his leadership, the Broncos won Super Bowl 50 in the 2015 season, defeating the Carolina Panthers 24–10.
He stayed in this executive role through 2026, stepping down in 2026 after 12 seasons managing the team.
“When I retired, I really wanted to spend time with my family and kids. Coaching would have prevented that, due to the commitment to the job and the travel that comes with it,” said the NFL legend in an interview.
The Pro Hall of Famer now enjoys his post-retirement life with his family, running his business ventures, securing endorsements, and engaging in charitable work around Colorado.
