Peyton Manning has been very careful to not say anything definitive about his retirement plans, this year or any other year really. But he gave a pretty clear hint to New England Patriots coach Bill Belichick after the AFC championship game.
When the two met on the field, NFL Films cameras were close enough to catch Manning seemingly tell Belichick he was retiring when the season was done.
"Hey, listen, this might be my last rodeo, so it sure has been a pleasure," Manning seems to say.
Belichick responded by telling Manning he's a great competitor.
