Peyton Manning appears headed for a split with the Broncos not long after winning his second Super Bowl.

Manning also proved – once again – what a tremendous corporate shill he is by turning the tease into a plug for Papa John’s Pizza, of which he owns over 20 franchises. Through its network of over 1 million professionals, including 64,000-plus members, HIMSS advises leaders, stakeholders and influencers globally on IT best practices to ensure decision-makers have the right information at the right time to make the right decisions. The 39-year-old quarterback spoke to a Florida Forum on leadership on Wednesday night, but revealed nothing about his future plans.
“To tell you the truth, I know that Peyton has not decided”, agent Tom Condon said. “It’s hard to say”, he said.
It’s the same give-him-space approach Elway used to lure Manning to Denver in the first place after the Colts cut him in 2012 to make way for Andrew Luck after Manning had missed an entire season following neck fusion surgery. “I think the one reason I’ve enjoyed my current job so much is I’ve been all in on it. I have not thought much about anything else beside the job that I was now employed to do”. If he does not announce a decision within the next six days, the Broncos will need to release him, trade him or guarantee his 2016 contract worth $19 million.
Condon said Manning, who will turn 40 later this month, will generate interest with teams outside of Denver if it comes to that.
