Denver? Call it Peyton's Place.

Peyton Manning is taking his talents to... the Mile High City. Sing it loud, Broncos fans- Rocky Mountain High, Peyton Manning. What does it mean to the Broncos? What does it mean to free agency? What does it mean to Tim Tebow? And what could it mean for the teams that didn't get #18? Let's figure it out together, shall we?

- Obviously, the Broncos just got a huge upgrade at QB. Tim Tebow completed less than 50% of his passes. Manning is one of the most efficient and prolific passers in NFL history. He will be able to come into an already flexible offense, turn it back into a passing game from the single-wing, and flourish in the thin air of Denver. Think of how defenses will need to combat that no huddle Peyton Manning led offense in thin air? A huge home field advantage for the Broncos.

- The Broncos can now fill in some needs they have with the draft and free agency. One rumor is that "Team Manning", consisting of Jeff Saturday and Brandon Stokely, are now making their way to Denver to sign on with the Broncos. They have a good chunk of money under the cap. They could create an offer sheet for Steelers deep threat Mike Wallace that could be too rich for Pittsburgh to match. Furthermore, they can find another WR in the draft. Around pick 25, they could look at an Alshon Jeffries, a Nick Toon, or pray that Michael Floyd of Notre Dame falls to them. They need to tailor the offense to how Peyton plays. Find him running backs that can catch out of the backfield. Get him another tight end (does Dallas Clark ring a bell?). They can do this pretty easily, and having #18 back there makes Denver an attractive spot for any player.




- Now that the Broncos have Peyton, they have to get rid of Tim Tebow. He won't want to sit behind Manning, playing in an offense that doesn't suit his skill set. So who will trade for him? I could see Jacksonville taking the plunge simply because of who Tebow is. Yes, they have Blaine Gabbert. Yes, they just signed Chad Henne. But Tebow would sell tickets no matter how he plays, and the team already operates a run-first offense with Maurice Jones-Drew. If I were a defender in the AFC South, I would be worried about trying to stop MJD and Tebow on short yardage situations.

- Other possibilities for Tebow? Some say he goes to New England, but he wouldn't be able to see the field as a QB during games. Cleveland still isn't sold on Colt McCoy, not that Tebow would really be an upgrade in the passing game. Minnesota needs to sell tickets to get that new stadium deal locked down and Christian Ponder isn't exactly Aaron Rodgers.

- What now for the teams that missed out on Peyton Manning? The best off are the Tennessee Titans. They have no QB issues. Matt Hasselbeck is still a solid starter in this league, and Jake Locker is the future of the franchise. They are just fine.

- The Miami Dolphins aren't in that great of a situation, but they are still in position to draft someone like Ryan Tannehill in the first round if Joe Philbin thinks that he is worth the pick. They also have Matt Moore in place, and are going after Alex Smith. They may not be in the best situation, but they have options.

- The real question of this entire situation is what the 49ers will do if they lose Alex Smith, after missing out on Peyton Manning. Colin Kaepernick will be a second year QB with no experience as a full-time starter in the NFL. He is athletic and has a big arm, but does he have the talent to man Jim Harbaugh's offense? If not, who do they sign? They could go out and get Josh Johnson of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Johnson was Harbaugh's quarterback when he was the head coach of San Diego State. Of course, there is another QB out there now. Tim Tebow ran Urban Meyer's offense just like Alex Smith did. Alex Smith flourished under Harbaugh. Could Tebow do that as well? For a 5th rounder, it might be worth the risk.
