ESPN's Chris Mortensen estimated to radio station Arizona Sports 620 that free agent Peyton Manning (neck surgeries) is "85-90 percent healthy."

Mort suspects Manning will make a final decision "within three to four days." He also confirms the Broncos are a more serious candidate than commonly believed while suggesting Houston could top the list if they were interested (not happening). Despite speculation to the contrary, Mortensen insists Manning will not go to the "highest financial bidder," placing football priorities first.
