The Facts:
Broncos executive vice president of football operation John Elway said the Broncos intend to pick up the option on Manning for the next two years, which would pay him $40 million for two seasons. Manning still has to pass a physical later this winter to get the money.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
In an interview with The Denver Post, owner Pat Bowlen called Manning "the real deal." Bowlen added: "I don't think he's going anywhere. I got more than I expected." I think we can all say pretty much the same. Despite the disappointing double-overtime loss to the Ravens in Sunday's Divisional Playoff game, Manning led the Broncos to great regular season success while setting single-season franchise records for passing yardage, completions, touchdowns, completion percentage and passer rating. He'll have to reboot this season without offensive coordinator Mike McCoy, who was
hired away by AFC West rival San Diego on Tuesday.
