Are the Broncos for sale...?

While looking for information on Enos Stanley Kroenke's position on the sale of the Rams, I stumbled upon a small gold cache of rumors regarding the Broncos. The much troubled Broncos just might be for sale. Pat Bowlen might be ready to throw in the towel. These rumors are reported by respected journalist Mike Florio of NBC Sports.

Many have noted the problems and frustrations Bowlen has experienced since the end of the John Elway era. He is getting older, and the organization is in turmoil. It has been since Bowlen fired his best buddy Mike Shannahan, who just took the HC job in Washington.

If this is true, you can expect Kroenke to make a big move. He already owns the Avalanch and the Nuggets in Denver. He can buy the Broncos clear of the cross-ownership rules that plague him in St. Louis. He can obtain an NFL franchise in his preferred city.

Certainly, if there is any truth in this rumor, we can expect Stan to sell to Shahid. He will need to do so to raise capitol for his purchase of the Broncos. These rumors are coupled with strengthened reports that Khan is buying 100% of the Rams.
