Football Report: Pending physical, Peyton Manning intends to return to Broncos - Page 7

Well, that didn’t take long.

After the January 11 divisional-round loss to the Colts, Broncos G.M. John Elway told quarterback Peyton Manning to take several weeks before deciding whether to return. Woody Paige of the Denver Post, citing three unnamed “trustworthy” sources (not to be confused with the usual untrustworthy kind), reports that Peyton intends to come back to the team for a fourth season.

The only potential roadblock would be his annual physical examination. Manning had multiple neck surgeries before joining the team, and he’s checked every year to ensure that his neck will still be able to withstand the demands of playing professional football.

His third year with the team ended reportedly with two thigh injuries that seemed to significantly impair his ability to throw the ball.

The Broncos need a definitive answer from Manning by March 9. His $19 million base salary for 2015 becomes fully guaranteed thereafter.

Manning’s willingness to play for new coach Gary Kubiak suggests: (1) that Manning wasn’t overly upset about the departure of coach John Fox and offensive coordinator Adam Gase; (2) that Manning is comfortable with the intended offensive approach under Kubiak; and (3) that Manning isn’t holding too much of a grudge regarding the failure of Kubiak’s Houston Texans to reciprocate Manning’s interest in joining the franchise three years ago.

Alex Smith and Chase Daniel now account for more cap space than Peyton.

Broncos, Peyton Manning in “final stages” of a $4 million pay cut

Posted by Darin Gantt on March 4, 2015, 3:12 PM EST

The Broncos wanted Peyton Manning back, and he wanted to be back.

But the Broncos have $4 million reasons to be happier today.

According to Chris Mortensen and Jeff Legwold of ESPN, the Broncos and Manning are in the “final stages” of a deal to cut his pay from $19 million to $15 million.

This kind of news was anticipated, as both sides wanted each other.

But giving back $4 million (especially when Tom Brady ends up with more money to create cap space) is a win for the Broncos, as they attempt to keep tight end Julius Thomas after franchising wide receiver Demaryius Thomas.

There's no way that happens... the physics just don't work.

$15M vs $9M not guaranteed? Brady's contract is a pawn. It's only there to circumvent the cap. Kudos to the Patriots for that.

And why did the Broncos lower Manning's salary? To get cap room to sign other players right?

A reasonable amount ... this was a fair restructure. Totally reasonable. If you don't understand the difference between reasonable and Tom Brady's contract I don't know what to tell you

RunKC · 03-04-2015, 03:35 PM

$4 million isn't a big deal to Peyton Manning. He's got that Papa John $$ rolling in.
Elway probably wrote him a $4 million check from his own pocket to pay for it.

"we're keeping this one under the table Peyton"

**New World Order** · 03-04-2015, 03:38 PM

We're 1-13 all time against Peyton.

When Manning is hired as a consultant 10 years from now, I'll be the first to say I told you so!!
