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.

You guys are rich. It's hilarious you don't see the difference.

If Manning restructured down to $5M a year I'd be livid. It would be totally unfair to every team that has to pay their elite QB elite QB money.

$9M for Tom Brady is a joke. A total joke. Rodgers makes $20M. $11M salary cap dollars gets you a Justin Houston.

Real fair...

Attaboy Hootie!

He's an $11M cap hit, bud. I never suggested he'd sign for $11M per year.

You're good at reading.

Link to him being an 11m cap hit?

He was Super Bowl MVP after controlling the ball for 39 minutes in the Super Bowl and also erasing a 10 point 1st half deficit against REX GROSSMAN.

any more myths you'd like me to dispel?

In 2007 and 2011 Tom Brady played two MISERABLE (by his own admission) AFC Championship Games and his teams won despite poor QB play. Why is this never discussed?

Fixed. Peyton sucks.

You're just mad that your mancrush is greedy in addition to being a control freak and a choke artist.

He's a $13.1M cap hit.

Houston tag is like $13M and if we sign him to a long term deal there is no way his cap hit for this year would be over $11M. We'd have to back load the cap hit. You take everything so literally it hurts.

The point was, Tom Brady's cheater contract frees up elite cap space for the Pats...Something no other team with an elite QB not on a rookie contract has.

It's an unfair advantage and most likely unprovable cheating

Lol, so you are just making things up again?

Ok. Fair enough.
