Have two unrelated official sources on this, would be a hilariously oddly coordinated lie, if what they were telling me was untrue.

These are still rumors and we’re not 100 percent sure the Broncos wanted to trade Manning, but considering how things ended last season it does seem plausible that the Broncos wanted to make a change especially with a new coach and offensive coordinator.
Update The Broncos vice president of public relations, Patrick Symth acted quickly to deny the rumors.
Here's one for the record – The speculation is false, and your report is inaccurate. https://t.co/Epge4WkOrX
