Thinkstock(DENVER) — Quarterback Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos are closing in on an agreement which will see the 14-time Pro Bowler take a $4 million pay cut for the 2015 season, according to ESPN. The deal will allow the Broncos more flexibility when the free agency market opens on Tuesday.
The 38-year-old Manning will earn a base salary of $15 million in 2015, which is down from the $19 million he was set to earn.
