3:52 p.m.: Elway on the deal: "We want to do something that's very fair for both sides … there has a to be a happy medium for both sides.

3:50 p.m.: Elway is back at the mic now, discussing the workouts and discussions with the doctors and trainers.
"We really felt that he'd be ready to go … I don't consider him much of a risk."

"It's March and I have a hard time reminding myself of that"
3:40 p.m.: "I know what kind of challenge I'm in for. In some ways I feel my body is going to be rested."
3:38 p.m.: On the draft: "Sure, I love when they draft offensive players, I'm not going to lie about that, but it's what's best for the team."
3:36 p.m.: "I know what kind of player Tim Tebow is and what kind of person he is. If Tim Tebow is here next year than im going to be the best teammate I can be."

3:30 p.m.: Manning: "It's certainly very different — there's no question about it. This is all new to me. The Colts are the only team I've known."
Manning commented on the process he went through and even said he hated putting the other teams through it.
3:29 p.m.: Manning: "There wasn't really one deciding factor.
"It's up to me and the people here around me to make this the right decision. It will be debated for months to come as to whether it was the right decision or not.

Anyways, Elway admits that "we're also fortunate to work for a guy like Pat Bowlen.
"Without the commitment from Mr Bowlen we wouldn't have Peyton here today."
