DENVER -- Tight end Shannon Sharpe will return to the Denver Broncos for at least one more season, the team said Wednesday.


"Shannon called Coach [Mike] Shanahan a few days ago and confirmed that with him," Broncos spokesman Jim Saccomano said.


KCNC-TV in Denver first reported the development.


Sharpe said in January that he might retire after last season, his 14th. He said he would announce his decision before this weekend's draft so the team would know whether to look for a replacement.


Sharpe is the NFL's career leader in receptions (815) and yards (10,060) at his position, and last season he passed Jerry Smith for most touchdowns with 62.


A seven-time Pro Bowl selection, Sharpe has won three Super Bowls -- two with Denver, another with Baltimore -- and was part of an NFL-record 12 straight playoff wins from 1997 to 2001.


Last season, Sharpe caught 62 passes for 770 yards and eight touchdowns at age 35 -- second only to Kansas City's Tony Gonzalez in the AFC.


I was looking forward to his TV appearances. I think he may be hanging on one season too long. I guess we will see

He'll be productive again. He's an amazing physical specimen...

If only Sterling hadn't been forced into early retirement by his neck injury! It would've been interesting to see the numbers that brotherly combination would've put up.
