Peyton Manning retired from the NFL in 2016. He has remained close to football in the years since, acting as an ambassador for the two franchises he won a Super Bowl with — the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos.

He has also spent the past few seasons working alongside his brother, Eli Manning. The Manning brothers co-host "ManningCast," which serves as a "Monday Night Football" alternative broadcast. Although the idea has been floated that Peyton will end up being an executive for an NFL team or even part-owner of a franchise, Peyton seemed more than satisfied to continue doing the show for now.

"Eli and I really have a lot of fun doing the show. I think a big reason for that is I do it from here in Denver and he does it from New Jersey," Manning said. "I think we're very happy about being able to do it and be home on the weekends and be home 10 minutes after the show."

Bill Belichick, who coached the New England Patriots to six Super Bowls, is expected to be a reoccurring guest on the "ManningCast" this season. Manning expressed excitement about the prospect of Belichick joining the show in 2024.
