Manning intends to return for 18th season
Print Edition
NATIONAL Football League fans and fantasy football owners debating Peyton Manning’s prowess and problems can continue that discussion well into the new year.
The five-time MVP says he plans to return to the Denver Broncos in 2015 for an 18th NFL season.
Manning was asked during his weekly news conference on Wednesday if there were a set of circumstances that would lead him to retire after the upcoming playoffs.
“I have not thought about those circumstances at all,” Manning replied. “So, I certainly plan on being back, if the Broncos will have me. But at this point, I’m kind of thinking about Oakland.”
A win over the Raiders (3-12) on Sunday would earn the Broncos (11-4) a first-round bye.
Manning said he knows talk this time of year turns to the coaching carousel and “I get to fall into that category because maybe I’m closer to the same age as some of the coaches. But yeah, I have no plans along those lines. I’m enjoying playing and looking forward to Sunday’s game and the game to follow.”
Manning, 38, is trying to supplant his boss, Broncos GM John Elway, as the oldest quarterback to win a Super Bowl. He leads the NFL with 39 TD passes and his 102.9 passer rating and 4,454 yards passing both rank fourth.
Manning is due US$19 million in both 2015 and 2016.
