Peyton Manning to Broncos: Will Tim Tebow Take His Talents to South Beach?

ESPN's Chris Mortensen just tweeted that Peyton Manning will be signing with the Denver Broncos.

That's no surprise. I've long said that Denver was the best situation for Manning. The 11-time Pro Bowler will be playing in a weak division with a great defense and for a team president in John Elway that knows a thing or two about quarterbacking.

And by signing Manning, Elway finally has the requisite ammunition to stave off another season of "Tebow Time."

While NFL fans gobbled up the late heroics of the Denver Broncos on their way to an AFC West title, the Broncos front office was probably having a collective coronary.

Elway made it clear that the starting quarterback job was not Tebow's to lose heading into 2012. But with the elder Manning on board now, Tebow may not even have a roster spot in Denver. 

Meanwhile, the Dolphins already are getting shellacked by local media for their own quarterback search, entertaining the likes of Alex Smith and David Garrard.

Tebow's impending release would be a huge opportunity for Miami. Locking down Tebow would give the Dolphins a bona fide national star and salvage an otherwise disappointing free-agency period for a team that went 6-10 last season.

Manning and Elway will be a great fit in Denver. Tebow and Miami might be an even better one.
