Earlier this week, the Denver Broncos entered into totaling $4.65 billion. Helmed by Walmart heir Rob Walton, the group is rounded out by his daughter Phil Hoskins Jersey Carrie Walton Penner and her husband Greg Penner.The $4.65B deal is pendingapproval from the NFLs finance committee and league ownership, but the Walton/Penner group is already laying its blueprint for the next era of Broncos football as According to Adam Schefter and Jeff Legwold, the Walton/Penner group has made overtures to former Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning about a role with the team, which could lead to the NFL's only five-time MVP having an ownership stake.The Walton-Penner group that agreed to buy the Denver Broncosthis week has contacted Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning about a role in the Greg Olsen Jersey organization that could eventually lead to an equity stake in the franchise, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday.Sources told Schefter that the group reached out to Manning about an advisory role with the team that could lead to his joining the ownership group.Manning was contacted by multiple groups during the bidding proce s to acquire the Broncos, sources told ESPN.What exactly would that 'advisory' role look like for Manning?

Is Manning ready and willing to do the same?Time will tell. If anything, the allure of a potential ownership stake in the Broncos might be too good for Manning to pa s on right now, even if it meant stepping away from some of his other interests, in the same way that Elway did when he joined the Broncos' front office back in the spring Stephon Gilmore Jersey of 2011.Stay tuned.
