Peyton Manning on Sunday completed an exhaustive three-day road trip in which he is known to have visited with the Denver Broncos and Arizona Cardinals, the two teams that sources believe have emerged as the favorites for the free-agent quarterback.
Despite those sources’ contention about the Broncos and Cardinals as favorites, Manning has not engaged either in contract negotiations or selected his next team and is highly unlikely to make that decision by Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET, when the new league year begins for other free agents.
Both the Broncos and Cardinals have the quarterbacks (Tim Tebow and John Skelton, respectively) who ended the 2011 season as the starter but the Cardinals do have to make a decision by Saturday on a $7 million option bonus due to Kevin Kolb, whom they traded for last year.
