Peyton Manning decided to retire this offseason but he reportedly received interest from teams wanting him to play for them in 2016.

The Denver Broncos, however, weren't a consideration as they were ready to move on from Manning.

Manning had at least some level of continuing his career but he didn't want to "hopscotch" from one team to another.

Manning also was able to end his career winning a second Super Bowl, albeit as a greatly reduced version of himself.
