Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning to reportedly announce retirement
Long-time NFL quarterback Peyton Manning will reportedly announce his retirement from professional football this week, The Denver Post reports. Manning led the Denver Broncos to a Super Bowl championship earlier this month, but the question of his retirement loomed for much of the season, with speculation reaching a height after the Broncos defeated the Carolina Panthers for the title. The team denied rumors that Manning had made a decision about his future, but Fox Sports reports that whether or not Manning hangs up his cleats, he won't be back with the Broncos next year because Denver has no plans to keep him on their books next season.
Manning, who turns 40 next month, is the oldest quarterback to ever win a Super Bowl and has two championship rings to his name.
