Brian Griese: Peyton Manning Signing With Broncos “Very Realistic”

Former Denver Broncos quarterback and current Broncos radio color commentator Brian Griese said Friday morning that he believes the Broncos are one of the favorites to land free-agent quarterback Peyton Manning, according to Pro Football Talk.

“I think it’s very realistic,” Griese said. “More realistic than people would realize.”

Griese believes that there is a chance because John Elway, who is the Executive Vice President of Football Operations for the Broncos, can connect with Manning, according to Pro Football Talk.

“John Elway won two Super Bowls when he was 37 and 38 in Denver,” Griese said. “I think Denver is certainly in play.”

Griese added: “The differentiating factor in Denver will be John Elway and his ability to connect with Peyton Manning.”

In January, Elway named Tim Tebow the starting quarterback heading into training camp, but Griese thinks adding Peyton Manning wouldn’t mean giving up on Tebow, according to Pro Football Talk.
