    Default Peyton Manning meets with John Elway; no decision announced on coming back

    Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning met with general manager John Elway at the team's Dove Valley headquarters Thursday afternoon.

    Manning left Thursday evening, but was not ready to make an announcement on whether he will play in 2015.

    Broncos president Joe Ellis boarded owner Pat Bowlen's plane Thursday morning and flew to New Orleans to pick up Manning, who had been spending time in his hometown, visiting family and getting in a few workouts to help measure his physical condition.

    The meetings Thursday were an encouraging sign Manning will return as he said Jan. 30 following the Bart Starr Award banquet that he wanted to meet personally with Elway and Ellis before making his decision. Manning, though, has always been the type who takes the necessary time to process all information before making any type of significant decision.

    I'm expecting retirement, or restructure, but leaning towards retirement.

    I expect neither of those things.

    The timing seemed a little weird to me until I realized that the combine starts next week, and I think the plan was always to meet before the combine. Absent some kind of press conference announcement today, I'm thinking he's planning on coming back.

    I always thought he was coming back and I never thought we'd wait this long to hear it. The longer it takes the more unsure I become about it.

    Thanks MasterShake!!!

    As much as I have enjoyed watching the last 3 years, my personal desire is to see them move on without Manning.

    New coaching staff, new feel, and a young core that needs to stay here, for the most part, pushes me to the idea that change might as well be complete, now.

    It will be tough to watch for awhile, but we have a solid core and hopefully a coaching staff that wont be shopping for new jobs each year.

    Im not saying Manning cant play, he was having a great year last year until he got hurt, so there will be a drop off to whomever runs the show, but I just feel its time for this team to invest in other directions.

    Just an opinion, nothing more.

    I am on the other side. I get what you are saying, but I don't know if Oz can be that guy and I don't want to go back to the Orton / Tebow years. I love the winning and feeling like they can win it all and I think Manning still can. I'd love to see what he can do under this new direction and I don't see anything lost for one more year with Manning.

    Thanks MasterShake!!!

    This. It was reported that they would meet before the combine and they did. Nothing has changed. Guys like Rapoport are trying to drum up clicks by suggesting that this means he isn't coming back.

    I think he knows which direction Peyton is currently leaning.

    I think if they absolutely, 100% knew Peyton's decision, they would have set up a press conference and/or announced it already. I think yesterday was just a preliminary conversation with a final decision coming within the next week.

    I'll let my homeboy Dave and his buddy Nietzsche respond:
