Back in March, Peyton Manning (http://www.nfl.com/player/peytonmanning/2501863/profile) agreed to restructure his contract ahead of his fourth season with the Denver Broncos (http://www.nfl.com/teams/denverbroncos/profile?team=DEN).
That's the nice way to put it. Another way to say it is Manning was forced to take a pay cut to keep his job. Reports indicated the Broncos (http://www.nfl.com/teams/denverbroncos/profile?team=DEN) wanted to slash Manning's salary by more than half, from $19 million to $9 million, after an injury-plagued year for the aging star. Eventually the two sides agreed on a $4 million reduction in base salary that could be earned back through incentives.

Those escalators included $2 million for an AFC Championship Game victory and another $2 million for a conquest in Super Bowl (http://www.nfl.com/superbowl) 50. Manning is halfway home after Sunday.
