STATEMENT ON PEYTON MANNING'S RETIREMENT
The Union of NFL Players congratulates Peyton Manning on a tremendous career of leadership and for how he changed the game on and off the field. Players of every generation should know him as someone who cared deeply not just about the football, but about the people who have made the sport what it is today. From his dedication to the history of the game to his decision in 2011 to stand up for the rights of every player, past, present and future, we know that he will continue to be an example to others long after his playing career.
