The Facts:
Manning is entering his ninth season and figures he has hit the halfway mark on an NFL career that has seen him enjoy record-breaking moments and endure gut-wrenching setbacks. It's Manning's desire to stick around for another eight seasons. That would take him through the 2013 season and culminate in a 16-year career.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Manning turned 30 in March, making him one of the older players on the roster. In fact, only 11 of the NFL's 32 projected starting quarterbacks for the upcoming season are older than Manning. None, of course, are as productive. Over the past four seasons, he's compiled a 102.4 quarterback rating by averaging 4,193 yards and completing 67 percent of his passes for 133 touchdowns with 49 interceptions.
