Peyton Manning isn't going anywhere anytime soon. The Denver Broncos quarterback said Wednesday that he doesn't envision retiring before his current contract runs out.
Via Mike Klis of The Denver Post, Manning told reporters he expects to be back with the Broncos in 2015:When Manning restructured his contract with Denver in 2013, the terms of the deal stipulated that the Broncos could void his $19 million salary in 2015 and 2016 if it cuts him before the season begins.
It would seem an obvious choice for Denver to bring Manning back. He's thrown for 4,454 yards and 39 touchdowns this year, while completing 66.8 percent of his passes.There is, however, some question as to whether the 38-year-old's skills are beginning to diminish to a noticeable extent. Sports Illustrated's Doug Farrar commented after Denver's Monday night loss to the Cincinnati Bengals that the end could be near:ESPN.com's Jeff Legwold wrote that general manager John Elway has given no indication the team would consider letting Manning go.
Between that and Manning's declaration, it would seem No. 18 will remain exactly where he is when next year rolls around.
