As Elway told the Post, "I think there are a lot of things about T.O. that none of us really knows, but obviously he can ruin a football team. If it were up to me I would say no. I think the Broncos are close enough anyway, and they don't need a guy who's too much of a risk."
First off, I agree completely that T.O. can ruin a team. That is obvious, and I have no reason to think he won't eventually turn on everyone here (though he might not, just to mess with everyone's head).
Are the Broncos really that close to a title? Well, yes, they're closer than they've been since Elway retired. Of course, Elway never played on a team that didn't have Elway's leadership, and I don't know if we're really that close, or that's just his hyper-competitiveness speaking.
John Elway obviously knows a lot more about football than I do. Having said that...I still kind of think it's worth the risk, depending of course on what we'd have to give up. (Yes, T.O. will probably end up being released, but we may end up making cuts to fit under the cap, plus we probably wouldn't be able to grab defensive help.)

john was fortunate to play on/for a team that was always designed for him. i think john see's T.O. as a character that he would conflict with if he were still playing. so i understand where he's coming from.
i do think, that because our offense is so bereft of ego, we could certainly have one.
Obviously, Elway's attitude wouldn't mesh well with Owens. But Elway's talent meant we never would have had to try. We don't have to try now, but it seems like a smart move.
