The outcry was so great that Brown responded, claiming that he had changed the photo after viewing AppleTV’s new “Dynasty” series, which is about Brady and the Patriots.

Broncos general manager George Paton made a suggestion on Thursday that, should the appropriate circumstance arise, the team could be prepared to make a significant deal to move up in the NFL Draft. If the Broncos believed they had a chance to acquire a quarterback who would “change the landscape” of the team, Paton continued, they would take the prospect very seriously.
“You will go to any lengths to acquire a player who you believe has the potential to drastically alter the future of your team, such as a quarterback,” Paton reportedly stated, as reported by Nick Kosmider of The Athletic. “You act aggressively and attempt to acquire him if there’s a consensus and affection in the building. You attempt, but it doesn’t imply you’ll succeed in getting him. Thus, we’re receptive to everything. We are completely accessible.
