When Elway retired in 1998 following a Super Bowl XXXIII win, the Broncos were so desperate to keep No. 7 as a part of the fabric of the organization that ownership made their quarterback an offer: $36 million, in exchange for 20 percent of the team. Had he taken that offer his stake in the team would now be worth $750 million. Instead he’s now trying to buy in at a vastly more inflated price.

Now, in Elway’s defense, while $36 million may seem like chump change in the modern NFL (and it kind of is), back when the offer came through it was fair that No. 7 gave pause. During his playing career Elway made $45 million, according to Spotrac. He undoubtably made more in endorsements and marketing deals on the side, but still, that was a significant portion of his 15-year career earnings as a player. Furthermore, it was hard to imagine TV deals exploding like they did over the proceeding 20 years, which pushed the price of teams through the stratosphere.





What a fucking idiot?
