Money Not Needed

Peyton Manning has been courted by various networks for him to be in the role of analyst, but declined all offers. They threw tons of money at him, but he wants to be a fan and not a critic.

There is speculation that he didn't want to get into a situation where he might have to comment on brother Eli.

He doesn't need the money. He makes a fortune on his commercials and public speaking gigs.

Every former player can only wish they had to make these types of decisions.
