Update: Original story referenced Broncos Wire as the source of the controversy, but it started with a screenshot from Bleacher Report.
Some unpleasantness erupted on Friday when some comments from John Elway out of context and suggested the Denver Broncos might be open to trading their best player in Von Miller.
