Manning has been in several commercials over the years, some with his brother and father. While his prime may have passed, Manning is still in several popular commercials endorsing Papa John's, Nationwide and Buick.

Manning is not shy when it comes to the media, and speaking comes very naturally to him. Manning has also had fun during interviews with former pros on ESPN and with sideline reporters during actual games. Following other NFL greats, becoming an analyst for a major sports network could keep Manning in the game of football while making a good bit of cash.

Manning should consider becoming a part of a broadcasting team on NFL Sunday. This is something that could suit Manning more than a traditional analyst because he loves to dissect games in the moment. He is one of the most, if not the most strategic player in NFL history, and could provide great insight into why an audible was made and what made it so successful.

Manning is someone who is not going to completely eliminate football from his life because it has been an integral part of his life for decades. While his skills may be deteriorating on the field, his mind is still as sharp as it has ever been. Manning has a keen eye for the strategy and business of the NFL, and could follow in the footsteps of his current employer John Elway to become an integral part of a team's front office.

The best career choice for Manning is coaching. Manning has coached his backups for the last decade, preparing them in case they would have to play. He has also crafted much of his own offenses as one of the most prolific field generals to ever play the game. His football IQ is through the roof, and this gives him the chance to stay in the NFL without playing.
