From the NFL, Peyton Manning told Denver Broncos officials, including general manager John Elway, that he is physically and mentally prepared to play at a significant level in 2015. The two sides met to discuss Peyton’s future in the NFL, and even though retirement remains an option for Manning, he didn’t express that idea to Elway and Broncos officials, but John Elway said that he hasn’t made a definitive decision yet.
Manning who turns 39 next month, went out of his way to receive a comprehensive evaluation from renowned performance manager and trainer Mackie Shilstone, during the last two and a half weeks in New Orleans. Shilstone has worked with several elite athletes in the later stages of their career. He has given Manning strong assessment based on numerous workouts and tests. The quad injury that Manning was suffering for the last part of last season is reportedly fully healed as well.
Other sources have said that the Broncos may look to restructure Manning’s contract to open up cap room to sign talented players like wide receiver Demaryius Thomas and tight end Julius Thomas, to having a formal physical. In all, this is good news for the Denver Broncos, manning is ready to play.
This is great news for the Broncos. They will get their leader back, if he can pass a physical. Everyone was ragging on Peyton because of his poor play down the last part of the season, but that was because he was injured. When he is healthy, he is one of the best quarterbacks in the league. They are going to have 50 million dollars of cap space this season, and if Manning will restructure his deal, then they have a shot to resign all of the players they need, to make another playoff run.
