I think this is a clear indication that the Broncos are the front runners for Manning’s services. It could also be another smokescreen.

I will be glad when it is all over.

A contingent of Denver Broncos officials will watch Peyton Manning work out Friday in Durham, N.C., sources have told ESPN.

The private plane of Broncos owner Pat Bowlen left Denver en route to Raleigh-Durham on Friday morning.

Among Broncos officials on board to watch Manning, according to the sources, were John Elway, executive VP for football operations; head coach John Fox; offensive coordinator Mike McCoy; quarterback coach Adam Gase; general manager Brian Xanders; and a medical team.
