I know that his numbers have been down the past several seasons due to injuries, but he could have easily played for another three more seasons if he just wanted to cash a check. Great, great player, much respect.

Great player, good luck in retirement!
Also, I finally saw Peytons retirement speech - fantastic. Loved the little shout out to the Patriots fans.

Just read it now, gotta hand it to him, damned fine speech.
@Eboue or anyone who watched him regularly in his prime, is Megatron a future HOFer in your opinion?
No doubt
Mike Wallace is a free agent and the top receiver.
You would imagine they are gonna be rebuilding for a year or 2 now. They got their Super Bowl before their window shut
I disagree. We weren't an aging squad like the 49ers were three years ago. We have a fairly decent age. So Im not in favor of rebuilding. Just add depth by drafting good prospects and keep the ones we already have.
Never know, there may be a surprise up their sleeve.
Just watched it now, and you're right(of course).
Von Miller is doing Dancing With The Stars 
Marvin Jones to the Lions, apparently choosing them over the Pats and the Bengals. $8m a year.
Chris Ivory to the Jags on a deal worth more than $6m/year. Looks like they're building a proper team over there.
Forte is a Jet (really wanted him at Patriots),
and Osweiler is a Texan. Makes me more certain about the Bronco's window closing.

According to the oracle (Schefter) - Forte to Jets. Brock to Texans.
I knew it, I knew that Osweiler would go.
Since nobody posts Giants news anymore, JPP back with Giants for an year.
RUMOURS of Bronco's and RGIII
Osweiler - chasing the money. Obviously the Texans have a pretty good D, but he is potentially leaving a very good thing behind in Denver.
WTF Brock?
Skins fan and really wish RGIII nothing but the best - BUT, ideally he should be in a situation where he is learning this season and not playing. Mind you, the Broncos just won the SB with a barely competent Grandpa Manning...so who knows, maybe Kaep or RGIII can 'manage' the O.
I was going to say that but I feared our potential reply.
For some reason I was convinced that he would go after the paycheck, particularly since teams like Houston and L.A might be after a free agent QB.
ALternatively Ryan Fitzpatrick wants a lot of money from the Jets...maybe the Broncos will pony up!
The vikings re-signed Mike Harris, the O-Line might be good next season. I'm now praying for a cheaper extension of Kalil.
Edit: Lamar Miller joined the Texans, that's a good move for them.

One of the NFL reporters on Twitter has been saying that he was very unhappy with being benched despite probably outperforming Manning and that has something to do with it.
And honestly I think he's right to chase the money. He hasn't proven himself to be a top grade starter, if he took a "prove it" contract and failed he'd really regret it
Remember the game when he got benched? He was stinking up the joint.
Benching him was the difference between winning that game and home field...subsequently the SB and not. I think if the Pats had played at home rather than Mile High, Brady ends up winning that game.
It was a huge call from Kubiak (who isn't a Manning guy), for the benefit of the team.
Osweiler to get a 4 year $72mil deal from the Texans.
$37mil guaranteed.
$37mil guaranteed.
The trade of Maxwell-Alonso to Miami might be off, because of Maxwell's shoulder injury.
Think the latest news is...deal is good to go. Dolphins are satisfied with the shoulder.
I only watched extended highlights of the Chargers game but from what I remember I think he was the scapegoat. There were a lot of huge drops by the receivers which wasn't his fault (which was a problem all year for Denver actually. Thomas would be incredible if he didn't have hands of stone. And he is a very very good receiver as it is).
Yeah, I just saw that it might be okay.
When does the NFL year officially start?
Today at 4 p.m, I believe.
Nah, he was gash that game. He did a great job whilst Manning was injured and saved the season to a large degree, but in that game where Manning was brought back in he had a mare and bringing Manning back in totally changed the game.
I'm a big gutted he's left to be honest, seems like he's dodging the pressure which is disappointing but money talks and Elway obviously wasn't convinced enough to go above $45m/3.
fecking Danny Trevathan as well now, off to Chicago.
Kapernick it is then.
