Peyton Manning Decision Coming Soon

Jan 31, 2015 11:19 PM

Peyton Manning may announce his intentions for the 2015 season within the next few weeks.

"He's given a lot of thought to it," Archie Manning said during an appearance from the Super Bowl XLIX media center, aired by a Nashville, Tennessee radio station, via ESPN.com. "My advice for him is to go through the process, get away a little bit, let your leg heal, give it a lot of thought and decide what you're going to do ... (I) think he's taken a good evaluation of where he is physically."

Manning has until March 9 to inform the Denver Broncos of his decision.
