You type that as if they haven't very likely made a handsome return financially on the player investments. Sure, if they lose again in the SB, it will be a failed season. But, to suggest he flushed money down the drain and all those moves didn't make the franchise money is a bit off, I would think.
It would be interesting to know from 2012 through 2015 - 4 years, with 4 division titles and 2 trips to the SuperBowl... are they financially better off because of where they spent their money. I would think that they are, but maybe not... maybe one of the Google wunderkinds can find the data or something to support it one way or the other.
I did a quick look... according to Forbes rankings, best I can tell the Broncos franchise was ranked #20 in 20012 with a valuation just over $1B and in 2015 they are #11 with valuation just over $1.9B. Jumped up 9 spots and nearly $1B during this last 4 seasons. KC is currently ranked #21 with a $1.5B valuation, and best I can tell, they were #21 around 2012 with just over $1B valuation.
