If peyton leaves, i would like for him to go to a team with a good D. the Colt D have probably cost them a few trips to the superbowl. peyton should have at least 2 rings.

Hows does the $28 mil come into play when it comes to other teams? I dont know rules on trading but Id bet he wont play for the Colts next season.

He can not be traded because the league year starts after his bonus is due, no way they pay him 28 mil then trade him. And they can't move the due date of the bonus. So its either they keep or release him.

Thanks for the explanation. So if he's released can he go to any team? Does the $28 Mil come into play?

You mean the Alex Smith who was robbed of his chance to get to the Superbowl because of a fumble on a punt return or that one that beat the Hi octane Saints offense?

You cant be serious.

I’m very serious. I mean the Alex Smith that played like crap in the NFC championship. If not for the defense they wouldn't have been in the game. He was less than 50% passing and if not for Davis he would have thrown for under 100 yards. As for the Saints game the defense forced like 5 turn overs. I'm not a Peyton homer by any means but I would take him over Alex Smith any day of the week and twice most of them.

He can go to any team that he wants and of course they have to want him. To my understanding that would void the contract and then him and new team would negotiate a new deal, Colts would take a cap hit not sure how much (i believe)

They may try the ol' contract redo with him. Which I wouldn't redo shizzzz if I were him.


Would be a great mentor and teacher for A. Luck.

i can't really blame the colts. if i were them, i'd be doing the same thing.

without manning, everyone got to see just how well they were coached and just how well management was able to put talent around him. they all should have been fired. the best players on that football team have been on that team for 5 years or more (freeney, mathis, wayne, clark, etc, etc, etc). just what the hell have they done in the last few years in terms of acquiring talent? anything?

that franchise is manning and a bunch of epic fail. there is no way that combination is going to go out and win a super bowl before he is officially done.

it's better to wreck the whole thing. start over and build a team. the shame (from an organization perspective) is no one really wants to get rid of peyton and (2) they probably aren't going to be able to trade him and get anything for him.

Call me nuts :crazy: but I could see Manning wind up in Miami. The Heat went out and signed James and Bosh. The Marlins just spent a boatload this off season to drum up interest in their kick-@ss new park.

I could see the Phins breaking the bank to get Manning. I don't know how the $28 mill comes into play (if the Colts can eat part of that as in baseball).

The Dolphins have no bank!!! The owner had to get J Lo, Mark Anthony, and the WIlliams sisters to put money in to the Dolphins, just to survive.
Jeff Fisher knew that they didn't have the money to sign great players. Fisher made the right decision by going to St. Louis.
Also, the Dolphins don't need Manning. They will draft
the q.b from Baylor but not give him the necessary offensive weapons to succeed. It will be a total disaster down there.

If I were SanFran, I WOULD try to sign Manning for two years, if he's healthy--he's just what that team needs. Smith is not at all a top QB, but they do have a great defense and run game--two things Manning has almost never had! The Colts would be stupid to draft Luck and then keep Manning. I just don't see the point. Manning is capable of playing at least two years, if not longer, if healthy--and Luck is capable of starting year one.

San Fran would be a very viable scenario for Peyton. If he is tired of seeing his beloved Cowboys relegated to mediocrity after three Super Bowl championships in the '90s, Jerry Jones certainly has the cash to afford Peyton. I know that doesn't make a lot of sense as Tony Romo is a top-8 calibre QB but can you see the Cowboys enjoying any postseason success under his leadership?

Agreed. I am in Dallas and so tired of Romo. Would love seeing Peyton throwing TD's to Witten. The Cowboys could give up T. Newman and T. Romo and M. Bennett and that would clear enough $$$ for Peyton.

I think they will negotiate with Manning, tell him that we will pay you 1/3 of the bonus and show us that you are healthy enough to play before we pay the rest of it.

Two outcomes I see from this is they pay $8M or so and a) they find out he is not healthy enough to continue, he retires they are only out that sum. b) they find out he is healthy and can play, paying him only a fraction of the bonus to show him off to the rest of the league for trade bait.

His salary would help fill a lot of needs on that team, not to mention I think Clark and possibly Wayne are out the door. It wil begin a complete rebuild for the Colts.

Denver.

They need a QB now and one for TT to learn from and Manning could not be any better. The Broncos would be a good place for Peyton to land as they have a pretty good defense, running game, and receivers.

After seeing how Andrew Luck responded to the idea of being behind Peyton, I wouldn't want to teach him or show him the ropes. If I'm Peyton I go to the Jets and take over for the Sanchize. He's got Santonio Holmes and Plaxico, plus a great defense to back him up. that's something he's never had along with something he's always had (two good/at one time elite receivers)

Not going to happen, but TITANS would benefit greatly from him being there. Merchandise sells out the roof and a good QB for Locker to learn under.

No way another team pays his signing bonus. Released or retired only options here.

Titans will gamble big time and bring him to Nashville, where Vols fans will take over the stadium every home game. But Peyton will demand they obtain quality receivers so they may have to gulp and swallow hard to get some big time free agent guys or get receivers by hook or crook.

The weird thing about the NFL is so many iconic players end their careers with 'another team' that nobody remembers they played for.

I'd say odds are PM is out of Indy and off to wherever to end his career.

He's the best QB of the last decade IMO. Will be in the Hall of Fame soon enough.

I hope my Titans or Falcons get him hell lets face it Matt Ryan isnt getting it done and IMO we are a QB away from getting the title!

as long as bud adams is owner and got his nose in every deal Titans are 1) not going to spend big money on a player ( Chris Johnson was exception didnt see them giving him the money) 2) not going to super bowl

Bud Adams wouldnt put up the money for peyton to come here just not going to happen.. would love to see it though
