There was something missing in Peyton Manning’s retirement news conference on Monday in Denver.
The Broncos didn’t also announce a new contract with quarterback Brock Osweiler.
With the legal-tampering period opened Monday afternoon, other teams could begin pursuing Osweiler with the hopes of signing him on Wednesday after 4 p.m.
The Houston Texans should be giddy.
Broncos general manager John Elway hasn’t made many mistakes, but this is one. He needed to reach a long-term deal with outside linebacker Von Miller last week, so he could either put the franchise or transition tag on Osweiler.
