The five-time NFL MVP spent 18 years in the league, the same number he’s worn on his jersey both as a Colt and a Bronco. He’ll end his career on a high note after winning the Vince Lombardi Trophy by defeating Carolina in Super Bowl 50.
The Broncos made two Super Bowl appearances with Manning in the last three seasons. Manning also lead the Colts to a Super Bowl win in 2007.
Manning concludes his future Hall of Fame career by winning 5 NFL MVP awards among many other awards and league records.

For my money, Peyton Manning was the best regular season quarterback I ever saw. I'll take him over anybody from September to December.

The Colts nation needs to get him to sign with Indy for a day so he can retire as a Colt – Similar to what they did for Jeff Saturday.
