Peyton Manning
Whether through free agency or trades, this offseason contained big-name switches that may alter the landscape of the 2012 NFL season.
Denver brought in four-time MVP and Super Bowl XLI MVP PEYTON MANNING, who spent his first 14 seasons in Indianapolis.
"I can tell this organization is committed to winning," says Manning. "This truly is a special football environment and I'm glad to be part of it."
Other familiar faces have joined new teams, including wide receivers VINCENT JACKSON (Tampa Bay) and BRANDON MARSHALL (Chicago), quarterback TIM TEBOW (New York Jets) and defensive end MARIO WILLIAMS (Buffalo).
