Ready – Set – Super Bowl Win! Those are five words the Denver Broncos haven’t heard in a long time. However, getting back to business is something that team?would like to do. After three?years of disappointment, including one Super Bowl loss, the Broncos want to start off on the right foot as they try to make it to the promised land. Well, for Broncos fans that good news and glimmer of hope came back today when Peyton Manning said he is ready to give it another shot in 2015-16.

The 38-year-old communicated with the Broncos, saying that he would like to come back so long as Denver would have him. And while the reunion may be sweet for the Broncos, the topping is even sweeter for Manning, who will get $19 million in guaranteed money if he is on the Denver roster on March 9th.

But what makes this decision even more interesting is the recent hiring of former Texans head coach Gary Kubiak after the departure of John Fox as Denver’s coach. Kubiak will bring an offensive scheme that is more defined than what Manning had been playing with under John Fox and Adam Gase. And while people might balk at the idea that Gase’s and Fox’s offense wasn’t defined enough, Manning threw a record 55 touchdowns in a season under their direction.

It should still be considered that Kubiak will be a brand new cog in Manning’s old wheels. But Manning has always found a way to succeed in the past, so if he is under center in 2015-16 for the Denver Broncos, look for him to do his usual magic despite having a new sheriff in town.

And lastly for all you Denver Broncos and Manning fans, just keep in mind that nothing has been set in stone. However, I don’t see Manning going anywhere else at this stage in his career besides retirement.
