Peyton Manning will wear No. 18 for the Broncos next season. Manning and Frank Tripucka had a conversation Tuesday about the uniform number, which was retired by the Broncos after Tripucka's career ended in 1963. "It's perfectly OK for him to go ahead and use it," Tripucka said. "I would be honored to have him wear it." Tripucka added: "It's been retired for 50 years. That's long enough."
