    Peyton Manning to retire on Monday.

    Peyton Manning to announce retirement Monday
    7:43 AM ET

    Five-time NFL MVP Peyton Manning will announce his retirement after 18 years during a news conference Monday at the Denver Broncos headquarters, a source familiar with the quarterback's decision told ESPN's Chris Mortensen.

    The Broncos' Super Bowl 50 victory over the Carolina Panthers was indeed his last rodeo.

    History will show the quarterback was in the NFL 18 seasons, made four Super Bowl trips with two titles, set a mountain of records and earned a place on football's Mount Rushmore. He will retire as NFL's all-time leader in pass touchdowns (539), passing yards (71,940) and quarterback wins (186, tied with Brett Favre).

    Manning, who played 14 seasons with the Indianapolis Colts, was a first-ballot Hall* of* Famer*-in*-waiting before spinal fusion surgery caused him to miss the 2011 season. He went to the Broncos as a free agent in 2012 and authored the most prolific season of any quarterback in history in 2013. The Broncos made two Super Bowl trips in Manning's final three seasons.

    When he embraced New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick after the Broncos' AFC Championship Game victory in January, NFL Films cameras captured audio of Manning hinting to the coach that the 2015 season would be his last.

    "This might be my last rodeo. So it sure has been a pleasure," Manning said.

    Manning was a five-time MVP, a Super Bowl MVP, a 14-time Pro Bowl selection and a seven-time first-team All-Pro. His team made the playoffs in 15 of his 18 seasons. He had 14 4,000-yard passing seasons, and of the three seasons in league history in which a quarterback threw at least 49 touchdown passes, Manning has two of them.

    Peyton will leave the NFL with far and away the most career earnings of any player: $249 million
    Brady is at $163 million.

    Even though I know that's a real pic, his head is so big it makes it look like a Photoshop job!

    A little Irony. Both him and Woodson retires on the same year and both will be inducted into the Hall of Fame at the same time.

    The greatest player we will ever going to see in our generation. I hope he goes into coaching because he doesn't have TV looks or voice.

    When he was at his best, he was better then anyone ever to play the game.

    He did not have the greatest career ever though, which keeps him from being considered the goat. That title belongs to Brady and then Montana
