The report raised plenty of eyebrows. If it’s true, it’s nevertheless being denied by the major players involved in it.
The Broncos have said, emphatically, that they did not try to trade quarterback Peyton Manning to the Texans.
The Texans separately told PFT that they have no comment on the report. (Which isn’t exactly a denial.)
Agent Tom Condon, who has represented Peyton Manning through multiple complex contract negotiations during his career, told PFT that talk of a possible Peyton trade to the Texans was news to his agent.
“Neither the Texans, the Broncos, or Peyton Manning ever talked to me about a trade anywhere,” Condon said via text.
