Peyton Manning is headed to the Broncos, but he may not be bringing his No. 18.

The Broncos retired No. 18 in 1986 in honor of Frank Tripucka, the team’s first quarterback, a New Jersey resident and father of Kelly Tripucka. The elder Tripucka, however, would be happy to have the Broncos unretire his number.

“That was a pretty nice honor,” Tripuka, 84, told the Associated Press last week. “But if Peyton wants the number, they should give it to him.”
