Although it is still secret, it is believed that this trust would transfer ownership equally to his children when he died. Bowlen set up a new trust in 2009. This would transfer ownership to three people, two of which were Broncos employees. One of the employees is CEO Joe Ellis. Bowlen died of Alzheimers. The three people are trying to get one of Bowlen's daughters to be set up as the sole owner. The other kids are fighting this. They say that Bowlen was showing effects of Alzheimers around 2005. They say that Ellis recognized this and started to influence an incapacitated Bowlen. Ellis fired many employees who were loyal to Bowlen. They say that the trust are setting up the one daughter as a figurehead so that the trust can remain in power behind the scenes. So..........this could get SUPER ugly and go on for quite some time. Many lawyers will get to upgrade their ski houses on this one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not surprised that selling the team is being considered as an option. However, Denver is a town with deep pockets, and I bet that the team will not be on the market for very long. As part of their reboot, perhaps John Elway can be exiled to his steakhouse (which, by the way, is pretty good!). Elway has just weighed in...or is that 'neighed' in? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though I live in Colorado, I have to admit I never had a clear sense of exactly what the dispute was here. This helps ... a lot. Meanwhile, on the field and on the football braintrust side: Elway has received a lot of well deserved criticism. But it looks to me like they're finally turning things around. Drew Lock looked very promising in his first 5 NFL starts overall (but they're stuck with the horrid Flacco contract too), and there's finally young talent on the offense to go with a still-solid (but likely declining as high priced players leave) defense. Kind of reminds me of the Bills a couple years ago as they dumped awful contracts (Dareus, etc.) and paved the way for a new core to emerge.
