A month after Denver's triumph in Super Bowl 50, Peyton Manning informed John Elway he is retiring.
The two-time Super Bowl winner and five-time league MVP leaves quite a football legacy.
[RATTO: Manning gives into logic by retiring; definition of legacy on hold]
Here's how his peers and former teammates are reacting to the news.
