John Elway: ‘No deadline’ for Peyton Manning decision
John Elway says there’s no deadline for Peyton Manning to make a decision on retirement.
The Broncos quarterback has yet to announce a decision on his future, and Elway says the team isn’t rushing him to do so.
Asked if there's a deadline for a Peyton Manning decision, John Elway says, "No, there's no deadline."

Of course, Elway won’t say it, but there may well be a soft deadline that the Broncos will push Manning toward making a decision by for cap purposes.
When Elway said Manning to get "all the time he needs'' for retirement decision, he really means March 8, Manning $19M base gtd. on Mar 9th

Manning is widely expected to retire, though he has ducked questions about his future since winning the Super Bowl. His father Archie believes that Peyton is done in Denver, if not with football altogether.
