Denver Broncos pass rusher DeMarcus Ware has said that he has no intentions of retiring anytime soon.

The 32-year-old struggled towards the end of last season, but he has insisted that his body isn't breaking down after elbow surgery last year.

When asked by the Denver Post if he was thinking about retirement, he said: "No. Not at all. I've got many years left."

He added: "I was able to get through last season, but I wasn't able to do everything like this offseason. This year, I feel like I'm solid. I can build the bulk. Now after you have those six games and you have all those plays, you know you're ready for six more, and then six more. Because you're just that much more in shape."

Ware joined the Broncos last season, after nine years with the Dallas Cowboys.
