Peyton Manning will sign with the Denver Broncos after a whirlwind week of rampant speculation fueled by anyone and everyone. After it was leaked two weeks ago that Manning would be released (it came a day later on Wednesday), the speculation on where he would land heated up. In the end, it wound up being the first team he visited: the Broncos.
From @mortreport and me: Peyton Manning will become the next quarterback of the Denver Broncos, barring unexpected snag in contract talks.

The terms of his deal are not yet known, but both sides are believed to be working off the parameters of Manning's five-year, $90 million deal he signed last July, the one that he signed and then never played a down of football after for the Indianapolis Colts.
So, with Manning in the fold, we now wait for Tim Tebow's future to unfold -- likely elsewhere.
