Peyton Manning to retire from Denver Broncos, NFL after 18 years

Peyton Manning will officially announce his retirement from the NFL after 18 seasons on Monday, according to multiple reports.

Manning, fresh off a Super Bowl victory, the second of his career, has told Broncos official John Elway that he will not return to the league in a decision many have expected and the Denver Post reported last week.

“Peyton was a player that guys wanted to play with,” Elway said in an AP report. “That made us better as a team and I’m thrilled that we were able to win a championship in his final year.”
