His Bronc riding days are over; the last rodeo is done.
Peyton Manning is saying goodbye; it's been lots of fun.
According to two sources, Manning will acknowledge his decision by the end of this week.
In all probability, Peyton, who will turn 40 on March 24, is leaving the Broncos and retiring from the game he has played competitively for 29 years.
It's implausible that Manning would opt to sign with another team for one season.
Manning's final play for the Broncos was a handoff to C.J. Anderson for 5 yards with 1:22 remaining in Super Bowl 50.
