Peyton Manning To Broncos Is ‘Historic Move’, Elvis Dumervil Says

The Denver Broncos on Monday got the big fish in free agency when it was reported Peyton Manning had chosen John Ewlay's Broncos. The two sides will negotiate a contract but Manning is expected to be the Broncos starting quarterback next season.

SB Nation's Broncos blog, Mile High Report, said this was one of the greatest moments in Broncos history outside of the back-to-back Super Bowl victories. Elvis Dumervil, who was quoted in the Denver Post, clearly agrees.

“Something like this is a historic move,” said Broncos defensive end Elvis Dumervil. “I don’t want to put too much pressure on one guy, but what he’s accomplished, if he’s healthy, I think he can bring us to one of the dominant organizations.”

Vegas odds agree that Denver can become dominant. Now that Manning is joining the Broncos, only a handful of teams have better Super Bowl odds than Denver.
