Denver Broncos veteran Von Miller has insisted that quarterback Peyton Manning is integral in their bid to win a title next season.

Manning opted to extend his career in the NFL this off-season, and will hope to lead the Broncos to further success in the playoffs.

"As long as he can contribute to the team, as long as he can go out there and contribute and produce and put more into the team than he's taking out, he's going to play football," Miller said, NFL.com reports.

Miller is adamant that Denver can win a Super Bowl with Manning, but the veteran signal-caller was criticised at the end of last season.

Manning still compiled 4,727 yards and 39 touchdowns, but faded down the final stretch of the campaign.
