Peyton to the Broncos

Greg Trott, AP
Peyton Manning woke up Monday morning and decided to call John Elway to inform him that he would love to become a part of the Denver Broncos organization.  Manning also gave a phone call to the Titans and 49ers to inform him of his decision to join the Broncos.  During Manning's initial meeting with the Broncos, Elway and Manning discussed a 5 year deal worth $95 million, and since the Elway and the Broncos organization made a trip to Durham, NC to watch Manning as he worked out on the Duke University campus.  All teams after Manning had major concerns of whether Manning's health would be an issue, but after examination by each teams doctors Peyton passed each physical examination.  The Broncos did not want to announce anything until both sides have reached a decision on the contract and have scheduled a news conference for Tuesday afternoon.

Question is where does this leave Tim Tebow?  Should they trade Tebow or keep him.  If they trade him then what happens after Manning is gone and what happens if Manning gets re-injured.  If they keep him that gives Tebow the opportunity to train under Peyton Manning and John Elway, 2 great NFL quarterbacks.  We shall see how this plays out.  Stay tuned.


UPDATE: Peyton Manning agreed to a 5 year, $96 million contract with the Denver Broncos in which Manning will receive $18 million guaranteed next season and must pass a physical before each season to get paid the following seasons.  During the press conference Manning stated that he was grateful for the different teams and organizations that were interested in him but he felt that the Broncos was the best felt and that he plans to retire as a Denver Bronco.  He also stated that he would do everything he can to win Denver another Super Bowl championship.  Tim Tebow was later traded to the New York Jets.
