The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... Whether or not the Broncos can close the deal with Manning remains to be seen. Rest assured, money will not be an issue, according to an NFL source. Broncos owner Pat Bowlen is prepared to do whatever it takes to land Manning, the highly prized free-agent quarterback who is visiting with the team's football bosses John Elway, John Fox and Brian Xanders today. The Broncos do have the financial resources and salary cap room, the source said, and are willing to do what it takes to sign Manning.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As the Post suggested, Bowlen was perhaps a bit spoiled by having five Super Bowl appearances and two Super Bowl titles through his first 15 seasons as Broncos owner. He has since been frustrated that his team has won only two playoff games and made no Super Bowl appearances in the past 13 seasons. ... Although Tim Tebow just led the Broncos to their first AFC West title and playoff victory since the 2005 season, Bowlen said after his team's second-round blowout defeat at New England: "Not a bad season but not a great season, either. I want a great season. ..." As previously noted, this visit doesn't make Denver the favorite to land Manning, who is expected to visit the Cardinals, too.
