    The Peyton Manning recruiting adventure began Friday with a visit to the Denver Broncos.

    About 48 hours after being released by the Indianapolis Colts, Manning met with another Super Bowl-winning quarterback, Broncos vice president of football operations John Elway, and coach John Fox. The three chatted while taking a tour of the team's practice field and heading to the weight room.

    According to The Denver Post, the Broncos sent a plane to pick up Manning in South Florida, where he has a condo. He had traveled there after an emotional news conference in Indianapolis on Wednesday, when he said goodbye to the team that drafted him No. 1 overall in 1998 and he led to the 2007 Super Bowl championship.

    Sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen the visit does not define the Broncos as the favorite to land the four-time MVP who was released by the Colts on Wednesday. In fact, other teams are starting to be aggressive in expressing their interest in Manning.
