Denver Broncos to sign QB Peyton Manning

Free agent quarterback Peyton Manning is going to sign with the Denver Broncos, according to ESPN‘s Adam Schefter.  Per Schefter, Manning called Broncos’ Vice President of football Operations John Elway this morning informing him that he was looking forward to playing for him this season.

Manning has told his agent, Tom Condon, to work out a contract with the team, which is expected to be a four-year, $90 million+ deal.  According to Schefter, the Broncos will now “try to trade third-year quarterback Tim Tebow.”

A fourteen-year veteran, Manning, 35 is a four-time NFL MVP and one-time Super Bowl MVP.  With nearly 55,000 career passing yards and 399 touchdowns, Manning brings experience to Denver’s offense, which struggled to put points on the scoreboard last season.

The Broncos are now expected to bring in several offensive weapons to compliment Manning, free agent tight end Dallas Clark, who played with Manning in Indianapolis, may be among them.  Manning has not decided yet which number he will wear in Denver, he is expected to choose between #16 (which or wore in college) and #18 (which retired, but Frank Tripucka’s has said it would be an honor for the number to be unretired for Manning).

As more details and contract information comes in, we will update the site.

    I’m here to take my lumps. I said he would go to Titans or 49ers (when 49ers entered picture). Have at it guys. I didn’t think we’d land him.

  • Davidl413

    Beyond belief. Amazing. Let’s not kick Tebow on his way out though. Nothing but class and he made the Broncos relevant again.

    yeah, but part of me is sad that we’re getting rid of Tebow. I hope it doesn’t bite us in the ass.

    It’s put up or shut up time for all the “fans” who said they’d find another team if we got rid of Tebow…

    I told my wife this can happen a month ago!! Going to to be awesome a great day season!!

    From every possible angle except the absolute immediate future this is a huge setback. And maybe even the immediate future seeing he is 1 hit away from done.

    Oh well, last I’ll be saying about my disagreement with the deal. Long live the Broncos. Go Peyton!

  • Flores Larry33

    Sure would like to keep Tebow.  I thought Manning had a serious
    injury?

    No…we had the most cap space.  Don’t you read Pete’s posts?

    There was a piece on NFL.com prior to Manning’s announcement by Jason LaCanfora (Sp?).  I read it last night.  According to the piece Manning had full control of the process up to when he picked a team.  If I can find it I will post the link.

    “It’s been widely assumed Manning will sign a deal similar (if not EXCEEDING) the five-year, $90 million package he inked with the Colts last July.” 

    We also had the most money. Big Pete was still right.
