The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... Manning is set to meet with HC Gary Kubiak this week, according to Kubiak himself, but as of now Manning has not informed the team of his plans. Manning continues to keep in touch with members of the organization. "Well, I think the bottom line is we made a decision on how we're going to go about it," Kubiak said at the NFL Scouting Combine. "It's about him taking his time, to work through some things, think through some things. There's no hurry here. We want him to enjoy what just took place and we'll go from there."
Diehards Line:Kubiak also said he wanted Manning to "take his time," but that time is finite. The Broncos need to pacify Brock Osweiler, an impending free agent set to hit the market in two weeks. As NFL.com notes, they need to inform incoming free agents who will be playing quarterback. They need to inform potentially-departing free agents who might be under center. And, Manning's salary becomes fully guaranteed on March 8. ... But for now, Manning and the Broncos will continue to go through the process.
