Peyton Manning has officially announced his retirement from the NFL, and we have some ideas for his next chapter in life.

Keep in mind, he already owns 21 Papa John's franchises in the Denver area, so continuing down that route is always an option.

Here are a few retirement ideas for Peyton Manning, most of which are inspired by other retired athletes.

    Open a car dealership.

    Could Peyton follow John Elway's footsteps and open various car dealerships? And all the Papa John's delivery cars could come from said dealerships! Smart idea, Peyton. Do it.

    Inform the public about shingles and other viruses.

    Terry Bradshaw has shingles awareness covered, but perhaps Peyton Manning can inform the public on the dangers of Zika virus?

    Run for president.

    It's a little too late for Peyton Manning to jump into the 2016 presidential race, but perhaps if Jeb Bush (who Peyton supports, apparently) becomes the official Republican candidate, perhaps Peyton could be Jeb's running mate for VP. Together they could end hunger with Papa John's, and the Broncos would be the official team of the U.S.A.

    Talk about a power couple!

    Become a sports commentator.

    Okay, so Tim Tebow isn't technically "retired." However, he's been taking advantage of other options out there. Peyton Manning would no doubt be great at sports commentary, too!

    Endorse men's hair care products like Rogaine and Just For Men.

    Peyton Manning is one manly man, just like Emmitt Smith and Karl Malone. So there is no doubt he'd be able to sell a product that makes men feel and look their best, just like those fellas did!

    Endorse male enhancement meds. Because, why not?

    Just like Rafel Palmeiro, Peyton Manning could endorse Viagra.

    I take Viagra. Let's just say it works for me. -Peyton Manning

    Enough said.
