Peyton Manning isn't saying whether he'll retire or not but it's reasonable to think that the 39-year-old quarterback, fresh off his second Super Bowl title, will decide to call it a career.
Either way, we'll know something by March 9, the official start of the new league year, when Manning's $19 million base salary ($21.5 million cap number) becomes fully guaranteed if he's still on the Broncos' roster.
In the meantime, the organization, out of respect for Manning, won't negotiate with the man who would replace him in Denver, soon-to-be free agent Brock Osweiler.
