Denver Broncos players praise Adam Gase

Denver Broncos offensive co-ordinator Adam Gase has received messages of support from the players as speculation links him to a head coach role elsewhere.

Both the San Francisco 49ers and Atlanta Falcons have been tipped to make a move for Gase, with the former parting company with Jim Harbaugh earlier this week.

"Of course he has what it takes," Broncos receiver Emmanuel Sanders told The Denver Post.

"Whatever happens, he'll do what's best for him and his family. If he does, that would be sad for me, but we've still got goals that we want to achieve together. Hopefully if it does happen, he'll go to one of those jobs with a Super Bowl ring on his finger."

However, multiple Broncos players insisted that Gase's interviewing process would not be a distraction for them as they continue their preparations for the playoffs.
