Peyton Manning Meets With Elway and Denver Broncos (Video)
Manning has started making his rounds to test the free agent waters like we all knew he would. He's already met with the Miami Dolphins and earlier today he met with the Denver Broncos and John Elway was in attendance. Manning pulled up in a plane around 1:30 today along with John Elway, head coach John Fox, general manager Brian Xanders and
offensive coordinator Mike McCoy.
Clearly if the Broncos are going through all this trouble to get Manning to town they are going to offer him something in terms of a contract. The question is how will this bode with the hardcore Tebow fans in Denver? Tebow took the team to the playoffs and didn't even get a full season under his belt. Tebow's following was huge to start last season and only grew bigger with his heavenly like performances. Now don't get me wrong, I'm sure all the Tebow fans would quickly becoming Manning fans too, but I figured they would at least give him another couple years in the drivers seat after last season. The Broncos would most likely have to move Tebow to another team, but they could pull a quick one on us and let him sit behind Manning for 3-4 years and learn from the best. Either way nothing is in stone yet, but it will be interesting to see how thing unfold down in Denver.
