While many believe that Manning would re-emerge in the NFL as a top-tier analyst, it appears that Manning is looking to work within the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/sports-betting\/american-football\/nfl\">NFL<\/a>, and not outside it. <\/p>\n<p>A number of sources believe that Manning\u2019s next goal is to run an NFL team\u2019s operations, while possessing an ownership stake. Others believe that Manning is also considering a number of hefty broadcasting deals offered by <strong>ESPN<\/strong> and <strong>CBS<\/strong> recently.<\/p>\n<p>However, Manning has allegedly already turned down ESPN\u2019s offer to become an analyst for \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.espn.com\/monday-night-football\/\">Monday Night Football<\/a>\u201d leading to more speculation for his post-retirement plans. The ESPN offer is likely to be one of the biggest offers possible if Manning does want to become a color commentator\u2014his rejection indicates that he has bigger things in mind.<\/p>\n<p>Manning is not going to be rushed into a decision because any contract will bind him to a job for multiple years either way. While Manning has yet to make moves towards a front office position, a number of observers believe it is just a matter of time before he decides to take the plunge. <\/p>\n<p><strong>NBC Sports<\/strong><\/p>\n<div style=\"position:relative;height:0;padding-bottom:56.25%\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qTF0dmhH0f8?rel=0&amp;showinfo=0?ecver=2\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"position:absolute;width:100%;height:100%;left:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Manning has been the subject of countless rumors that link him to various NFL teams. Manning has admitted that he has had a series of conversations with the owners and executives of some NFL teams. If Manning does decide to embark on taking charge of an NFL team, or purchase an ownership stake, this move will likely take over his life for the next few years. It is still unknown whether Manning would be willing to take on a commitment so large so soon after his retirement.<\/p>\n<h2>Peyton Manning\u2019s Star-Studded Career<\/h2>\n<p>Manning is a future <a href=\"https:\/\/www.profootballhof.com\">NFL hall of famer<\/a>. He is widely expected to become a first-ballot entry to the Hall of Fame in 2021, the earliest he is eligible to enter the draw.
