News has broken today that Peyton Manning is in negotiations with the Denver Broncos to become their next quarterback, barring any complications that might arise while the contract is being completed. Adam Schefter reports that once the deal is official, Denver will begin the process of trying to trade Tim Tebow. John Elway wrote about the initial meeting with Manning and the Broncos posted on their blog about it on March 16th.

The news comes as something of a shock to the sports world, since as recently as this past Saturday Manning was in talks with the Tennessee Titans and speculation was that he might return there, especially since he went to school there.

Manning’s decision has been quite a topic of discussion lately, especially since his move has been anticipated by other players, such as Alex Smith.

Manning, who has become one of the biggest names in pro football, is causing quite a stir with the news.
