Peyton Manning has told close friends he’ll retire

[Sportsguy9695]

In a not-so-private moment, Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning told Patriots coach Bill Belichick that 2015 may be Peyton’s last rodeo. In much more private moments, Manning reportedly has been more definitive.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that Manning has told close friends that he’ll retire after Super Bowl 50.
Manning consistently has declined to tip his hand publicly, most recently in a Pro Bowl halftime interview with ESPN’s Chris Berman. If Manning is done, the decision represents a stark contrast from his mindset in November, when he was telling teammates that he intended to play in 2016.
Circumstances have changed dramatically since then, however. After exiting the lineup to rehab a partially torn plantar fascia tendon in this foot, Manning wasn’t expected to make it back to the field in 2015. And surely he wouldn’t have wanted a string of subpar performances to represent his final NFL season.

Not sure a team would be willing to give him a starting job next year anyway. No playoff contender at least.

he should retire. he should have retired last season but at least hes in the superbowl now. could be a cinderella ending

The interesting aspect is if winning a Super Bowl adds much to his legacy. Right now I think hes top 5, but does winning or losing a Super Bowl do much for him?

Hes definitely done after this, win or lose.

 

[Pugz]
