Peyton Manning to retire after 18 NFL seasons
Peyton Manning to retire after 18 NFL seasons
After earning a record five MVP awards and, finally, his second Super Bowl trophy, Peyton Manning will retire from the NFL. He will make the official announcement on Monday, according to the Broncos.
This was the ending most were expecting after Manning’s 18th season, a year unlike any other in his career. For much of the 2015 season, Manning, 39, was at his worst, looking old and too weak with a depleted right arm and balky left foot. But when it was over, he was good enough to help lead the Denver Broncos to their third Super Bowl title as a complementary piece to the NFL’s No. 1 defense, the season culminating with a 24-10 win over the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50.
Manning retires as the only quarterback in league history to lead two franchises to Super Bowl titles.

He has had one heck of a career in NFL, coming back after neck injury was incredible.

What a tough decision to make. Great career and coming back after injury that could have ended it years ago and moving from his comfort zone to another market, being sidelined again and having to accept being a back up for the first time??
Nicely done, well deserved and nothing but the best for one of the leagues all time best players and ambassadors.

it's going to be strange seeing the Broncos without Peyton! i'm glad he left now though. it was perfect timing.

It's going to be strange watching the NFL knowing that he isn`t playing somewhere.
