DENVER, CO – Denver Broncos Quarterback Peyton Manning is retiring after 18 seasons in the NFL. An official announcement is expected later this morning. 

A month after Denver’s victory over the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50, the nearly 40-year-old quarterback has informed Broncos General Manager John Elway he’s calling it a career.

Manning leaves as the NFL’s all-time leading passer and winningest starting quarterback, and the only one to win Super Bowls with two franchises.
