Why did John Elway refuse to play for Baltimore?

After graduating from Stanford, Elway was a highly coveted athlete in both football and baseball. In 1983, the Baltimore Colts were among the NFL's worst teams, having compiled a 19-53-1 record from 1978-1982. Elway didn't have the desire to play for such a downtrodden franchise, and Elway's father also advised his son not to play for the Colts' head coach Frank Kush. Elway tried negotiating a way out of Baltimore, but after failing to engineer a trade, his agent began circulating rumors that Elway would happily play baseball for the New York Yankees (who had drafted Elway in the 2nd round of the 1981 MLB draft) rather than suit up for the Colts. Eventually the Colts and Denver came to terms on a trade and Elway became a Hall-of-Fame signal-caller for the Broncos.
