Any player coming back from a season ending injury runs the very real risk that he may never again play at his pre-injury level.
You have some of those to watch on your own team.

At 5 years 95 million I am pretty sure Denver was/is expecting Peyton to be his old self...
And the guys we are worried about don't touch the ball every single offensive/defensive play. Manning might end up being surprised when he starts attempting passes that he used to make in his sleep but now get tipped away or fall slightly short with the slightly less velocity he sounds like he will have.
