The Broncos wanted Peyton Manning back, and he wanted to be back.
But the Broncos have $4 million reasons to be happier today.
According to Chris Mortensen and Jeff Legwold of ESPN, the Broncos and Manning are in the “final stages” of a deal to cut his pay from $19 million to $15 million.
This kind of news was anticipated, as both sides wanted each other.
But giving back $4 million (especially when Tom Brady ends up with more money to create cap space) is a win for the Broncos, as they attempt to keep tight end Julius Thomas after franchising wide receiver Demaryius Thomas.
