Nothing would surprise me in that division this year.

Bronco's success last season can be attributed to the performance of the defense.
If they don't go cutting a bunch of people and try to implement a new defense, or a new coordinator, they should be fine.

EDIT:

That's ASSUMING that people actually paid attention to the Broncos.

Big assumption there, brah.

Another big assumption for you.

90 Million dollar assumption.

It's 96 million, but how much will he actually see? There's no guaranteed money. They can cut him and not owe a dime.

He's 36 years old and sat out a whole season last year with how many neck surgeries? Every snap he takes will be a gift.

You are right that it is 96 Million. But the first year it's worth 18 million and fully guaranteed. In 2103/2014 all the money(20 million) is guarenteed assuming there are no neck issues. So the Broncos are taking 18 million gamble that his neck is fine. Not chicken change.

The Colts cut Manning. That should speak volumes.

Compare Peyton's $18 million one year deal to Tom Brady's $48.5 million guaranteed that he signed at age 33.

There's serious questions about Peyton's health or he wouldn't have to take such a huge pay cut.

Let's see- Denver makes the playoffs with Tim Tebow. Now they have Manning. Assuming he's healthy, now they are going to suck. Makes a lot of sense?

That's why Pinnacle is heading out 8.5 for their win total....with Tebow it was 7.5 lol
