The surreal became reality yesterday afternoon as future Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning held up an orange jersey with his name and number 18 on the back. Manning and the Denver Broncos agreed to a five-year, $96 million contract to make the 14-year veteran the new starter in the Mile High City. Manning will be owed $18 million for the 2012 season, all of it guaranteed. Future years and dollars will be contingent on Manning passing physicals prior to each season. With a new signal-caller in town, the Broncos are reportedly shopping around their deposed starter, Tim Tebow. Several teams, including the New York Jets, Jacksonville Jaguars and Miami Dolphins, have been connected to Tebow in trade rumors. The Broncos aren’t expected to receive much more than a mid-round draft pick in return.
