Peyton Manning could decide in the coming week that he will return to the Denver Broncos in 2015.

Manning has been fairly persuaded that all will work well between him and new head coach Gary Kubiak, who is ready and willing to fit his scheme to play to the quarterback's strengths but it still will be Kubiak's system.

Manning said this past Friday he met with Kubiak last Wednesday.

Manning will have his annual checkup on his surgically repaired neck within 10 days of the start of the new league year, which begins March 10.

The checkup is to simply give the Broncos an idea of where Manning is physically after having spinal fusion surgery in 2011.
