Free agent quarterback Peyton Manning will reportedly join the Denver Broncos barring an "unexpected snag" in contract talks.

ESPN's Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen reported Monday that Manning, 35, called former Broncos quarterback John Elway to "tell him he's looking forward to coming to play for him."

Manning's contract will likely be in the 5-year, $90 million range, the Denver Post reports.
