Peyton Manning picks Denver Broncos

Peyton Manning started his NFL career as a Colt. He will finish it as a Bronco.

The four time MVP and Super Bowl XLI MVP will take his talents to the Rocky Mountains, after telling his agent Tom Condon to begin negotiations with Denver.

Kudos to GM John Elway for pulling this off. He put together a full court press effort to bring Manning to Denver, and didn't let delusional Bronco fans high opinion of Tim Tebow delude his decision making.

Manning will take over a team that needs help at several key positions like wide receiver and tight end, but Denver has enough cap room to afford Manning and sign former Steelers receiver Mike Wallace, and Manning's old teammate Dallas Clark, if they should choose.

The question now is what happens to Tebow? Tebow's fate could hinge on what former 49ers quarterback Alex Smith does. Smith is negotiating with the Miami Dolphins and may feel spurned by the 49ers and won't return there. If that's the case, Tebow could end up in San Francisco. Tebow could also end up in Miami if Smith decides to return to the Niners. Jacksonville has also been rumored to be in the mix for Tebow if he became available. The Jaguars had an infinity for Tebow since he grew up in Jacksonville, and went to nearby Florida University.
