NFL Legend Takes Pay Cut

An NFL Legend takes a pay cut so his team can have some money to spend in free agency to get more star players on their team. The NFL Legend I am talking about is Peyton Manning. Their were rumors that if Peyton Manning didn't agree to take a pay cut they would release him. I think that would be stupid considering their are no quarterbacks in the free agency pool and their draft pick is too late to find a quarterback that could just a little bit fill Peyton Manning shoes. Their backup quarterback was Brock Osweiler he has only thrown for 159 yards throwing and 1 touchdown  in the three seasons he has been in the league.

Peyton Manning took a 4 million dollar pay cut. This now frees up 4 million dollars for them to spend during free agency to go get Peyton Manning more weapons or get another weapon on the defensive side. Manning can get that 4 million back by reaching some incentives and one of those incentives is making the Super Bowl. But in order for the 4 million pay cut to be finalized Peyton must pass his physical. This 4 million can help them sign back Julius Thomas one of Manning's favorite weapons.

Or they can use that 4 million to resign back defensive tackle Terrance Knighton. For those who doesn't know who Knighton is he had 30 tackles and 2 sacks last season. Knighton is a very key part to that Denver Broncos defense. If Denver loses him their defensive line will not be as strong as it was last year. This pay cut taken by Peyton Manning shows how much a class act he is and is willing to take a pay cut in order to get players that could help him win his second Super Bowl.
