Peyton Manning Says He Advised Russell Wilson, Matt Ryan on Broncos, Colts Trades

Peyton Manning announced his retirement from the NFL years ago, but that hasn't stopped him from helping his former teams recruit, and land, some of the best players in the league.

Manning said Friday during his annual Manning Passing Camp that he advised Russell Wilson on his move to the Denver Broncos and Matt Ryan on his move to the Indianapolis Colts, according to NFL.com's Michael Baca:

"I talked to both of them kinda during the process and tried to be a resource as I try to be for all quarterbacks. For Matt in particular, he kind of mentioned that Atlanta was looking for possibly a trade and he was asking about Indy.
