Has yet to tip his hand publicly, however

Nerdy Football Analysis: This doesn’t qualify as breaking news, but rather another reminder that one of the all-time greats will probably be playing his last game on Sunday. The 18-year veteran will turn 40 next month and his body appears to be breaking down after an injury-plagued season in 2016. Win or lose in Super Bowl 50, it will likely mark the end of the road for the five-time NFL MVP. As such, one of Denver’s top offseason priorities will likely be locking up Brock Osweiler long-term.
