After suffering a right thigh injury in the Broncos’ win over the San Diego Chargers back in mid-December, Peyton Manning hadn’t been right since…yet, onlookers & fans might not have to wait much longer as the Veteran QB can announce as EARLY as next week if he’ll be returning for his 18th season!
via ESPN:
Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning won’t keep people guessing on his future for long.
Manning could decide as early as the coming week that he is indeed returning for an 18th season, according to sources.
Manning has been fairly persuaded that all will work well between him and new head coach Gary Kubiak, who is ready and willing to fit his scheme to play to the quarterback’s strengths.
Even though Manning attended the 50th Gatorade party late Friday night with several athletic icons, including New York Yankees great Derek Jeter, Manning will not announce he will be having a farewell season in 2015. That’s not his style and he does not want to lock himself into a final year, yet.
Manning said this past Friday he met with Kubiak last Wednesday. While NFL rules limit the discussions between coaches and players at given points in the offseason, Manning said the two were essentially trying “to get to know each other.”
Manning’s salary for 2015 — $19 million — is guaranteed if he is on the team’s roster March 9.
