I'm pretty interested to see if he can go to Minny or Miami and make some noise...

Really wish Denver could make something work to bring him in....

MIAMI!!!

Fingers-crossed...

I should add, I hope wherever PM goes, that he is successful & healthy....

mase · 03-06-2012, 09:38 PM

It will be really weird to see him in another jersey. As you said, I hope he returns when ready and healthy.

Welcome to the Windy City Manning. Jay can be a backup

Kansas City is going to snag him first........ I hope.

I am not surprised. Andrew Luck will be much cheaper.

Hopefully Luck dosn't turn into another Ryan Leaf. I'm kind of suprised to see the Colts letting Manning go but at the same time I guess I'm not. I can see how Manning is getting old and they don't want to take the risk on him.

I also see Manning as still being able to perform as long as his surgery went good and such. I believe he still has 3-5 years left in him.

I think some team will really be blessed with his knowledge of the game. Manning IMOP is the most knowledgable NFL QB out there.

Hopefully he stays in his confrence so he can play against the colts, It will be fun to watch him play.

The Colts had 28 million reasons to let him go. I truly believe this was ALL about the all mighty dollar.

Oh I'm sure it was. Too bad they couldn't have signed him back for at least a year or two year to play/coach luck. I don't see payton taking the backseat to anyone though no matter how bad he plays.

I truley think if he dosn't start some where, He will just retire. He will make a damn fine QB coach for someone though.

He was under contract. The problem was that he was due a $28 million roster bonus (tomorrow I think). He had already said that he was not renegotiating his contract.

If (and that's still a big if) he can pass a physical and show that he can competently throw the football, he won't have any trouble finding a starting gig.

What makes you think Peyton Manning can coach so well for?

Dollars had a lot to do with it, Mac. The Colts absolutely suck. They need the money to rebuild.
They have to weigh the opportunity to build with Luck and put a team around him against a few years with Peyton and no team around him. The latter has worked for a lot of years, but Peyton was in good shape. Now he's a big gamble at best.
I think we'll find that Peyton doesn't have a problem with this move. He's done anything he can to protect that organization from his failing health, up to and including rewriting his contract so that the Colts didn't have to pay him the last 8 million they paid him while he was broke down.
I truly believe Peyton and Jim Irsay made this decision together,m and that Peyton will be a part of the Colts organization for a long, long time once he's done with this "play for another team" thing. I don't think it's going to go well, either. Peyton is way too screwed up.
Ultimately he's going to be a lot more valuable for his head than he is for his body if he can avoid ending up in a wheelchair.

I had seen a few weeks ago someone from Dallas tweeted that he was going there, but no confirmation....we shall see.

Taki · 03-07-2012, 06:36 AM

Its a shame though to see him go!!! I think it will be Miami..he already has a house there and they are in desperate need of a QB

I agree

The Dolphins were in all of those games that they lost the 1st half of last year and having Manning may just be enough to push them over the edge to contend for a Wild Card birth in the AFC East.

Blak Smyth · 03-07-2012, 07:12 AM

Payton I respect, his little brother, not so much.
I think if you put Payton behind a good O-line he will continue to produce.
Good luck to Payton, I admire his class!

kelmac07 · 03-07-2012, 07:50 AM

I see the Jets making a push for him. Sanchez isn't the man in NY.

Stephen · 03-07-2012, 08:08 AM

I don't know why, but it annoys me how big of a deal ESPN is making this. It's not like the writing wasn't already on the wall. Further, outside of a select few (Dan Marino, Walter Payon, and Barry Sanders come to mind) the all-time greats don't start and finish their professional football career with the same team.
