Here is your Manning contract, just so you understand why he won't be playing there in 5 years. Denver can opt out anytime, and each year is guaranteed, with NO SIGNING BONUS. So, when they have a SB or two, and/or realize he isn't gonna get them there, he is gone. In all likelihood, that is when they have to pony up the next bigtime contract on either Dumerville, Miller, Thomas, or Decker.
There is a reason New England won three superbowls, but none lately. It's simply too hard to keep all the playmakers these days.
