ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — Peyton Manning didn’t rule out a future role with the Denver Broncos given the ownership uncertainty surrounding one of the NFL’s iconic franchises.
“I am as interested in what’s going to happen as anybody because I care about it,” Manning said Wednesday in a Zoom call ahead of his induction next month into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
The trust that runs the franchise valued at $3.2 billion could approve one of late owner Pat Bowlen’s children to become the team's next controlling owner — Brittany Bowlen, 31, is the preferred choice — or sell the team altogether.
