ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- You can call the Broncos' 2015 season many things: the start of a new era, a year defined by a quick transition to new schemes, or -- the team hopes -- a run to its first world championship since 1998.
Just don't refer to it as a "farewell tour" for Peyton Manning.
"I wouldn't call it that. That's not how I see it," the NFL's all-time leader in touchdown passes said after the first practice of the Broncos' voluntary minicamp concluded Tuesday.
Sure, the list of quarterbacks 39 or older who had big seasons is slim, limited to Brett Favre, Warren Moon, Vinny Testaverde and Sonny Jurgensen.
