If you are like me, your eyes were glued to ESPN to see where Peyton would end up going. Well today was the day it was finally announced that Manning would be the new QB of the Denver Broncos.
Today Manning stood next to owner John Elway holding his new bright orange Broncos jersey. This couldn't be a happier day for anyone than Manning. He has a new deal in place, he now knows who he will be playing for, and he can start getting himself back into shape to play and win this season. Manning agreed to a 5 year $96 million contract with the Broncos. He is guaranteed to make $18 million this season,after this season though it gets a little tricky. Manning in 2013 and 2014 is scheduled to make $20 million in each of those season provided he passes a physical 10 days before the season will start. This trend will continue for the rest of his contract.
Manning said it will take some time for him to get back into football shape, with lifting weights and getting into a routine like he had the past 14 years in Indianapolis. Manning turned down playing for probably the best team that was looking to land him on their team in San Francisco. If he would have went there, he would of had and experienced receiving core, a great line, a great running game, and a great young Defense that almost made it to the Super Bowl last season. Plus I thought it would be cool to see Manning throwing to Moss this season. If those two would have gotten together, they would have broke more records then Moss and Brady did just a few seasons ago.
All in all Manning made the choice that we all have to live with. I think it might be a good thing see how there will be not as much Tebow talk as there was, even though the team is looking to trade him now which will bring up more talking. That's neither hear nor there, Manning is the new QB of the Broncos and I can't wait to see what happens once the season gets underway.
Until next time,
You keep doing what you do, and I'll keep you up to date with everything sports
