Peyton Manning has a new home.

Manning will be playing in Denver next season.

This is coming from ESPN’s Chris Mortensen.

The Denver Broncos have signed Manning as the legendary quarterback is playing somewhere other than Indianapolis.

The Colts released Manning in early March, which made him the one of the biggest names in NFL free agency history. The Broncos were the first team to get an interview with Manning and they were one of the favorite teams all throughout the process.

The Broncos are taking a chance on Manning. He’s undergone four neck procedures in a short period of time and nobody knows how effective he can be in an actual game. There was a video of him throwing the ball at Duke University, but that’s nothing like a real game situation.

The Broncos are also saying that quarterback Tim Tebow is not their guy. I don’t see any way Tebow and Manning stay on this team together. This means that Tebow will need to be traded somewhere else, which brings up the question, how valuable is he?

Tebow was able to bring the Broncos back from being one of the worst teams in 2011 and got them in the playoffs. Once they were there, Tebow helped the Broncos win a playoff game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. However, he did have the worst completion percentage out of any starting quarterback and he doesn’t play a traditional style.

It should be interesting to see what happens with Tebow now that Manning is with the Broncos.

Right

With Denver’s soggy offensive line, Manning will be in a chin-controlled wheelchair within a month!

I wish no ill~will against anyone, but......that's the funniest thing I've read all day!!

Only bringing in Peyton could make that work without a fan riot. If Jacksonville doesn’t take Tebow, they are crazy - or planning to move.

Seriously, the Grammar Police on a NFL thread???

If Alex Smith leaves.. what about Tim Tebow playing for the 49ers?

Could you imagine Tebow playing for San Fran? A Conservative religious man playing in a modern Sodom and Gomorrah...with emphasizes on the Sodom.

And what will they do when Manning is down after one hit ?

Big mistake, Denver. Big mistake.

[HIDEK6]

I didn’t start it.

[bigdaddy45]

Are you talking about Manning? Second team to who?

And what will they do when Manning is down after one hit?

They will still be paying him tons of money to be a bench/wheelchair warmer.

Bendy, his neck is actually stronger after the fusion...

[Absolutely Nobama]

Yeah, good point.

Bendy, his neck is actually stronger after the fusion...

I keep hearing this bandied about. Stronger? Perhaps, but only when all it's doing is holding your head up. In reality, neck or any other vertebrate fusions make it less flexible, by definition. So, in some ways, I think fusions make your neck less able to sustain impacts or absorb strains without injury, due to the lessened flexibility. Just because a doctor is willing (or paid) to make the statement that Manning is no more susceptible to injury than other players, has to be taken with a grain of salt.
