While many teams would be interested in Manning if he’s available and healthy. Only a handful would be in position to negotiate a contract with him. The Redskins and Cowboys would seem like strong possibilities,but I don’t think Peyton would want to contend with Eli for the division. If the Colts do not retain Manning, he would most likely be dropped before he is due a $28 million roster bonus in March, not traded. Therefore the Colts would have no control of where he plays as he would be a freeagent. I see the Dolphins & 49ers as the most likely destinations, with the Jets a distant third. However if Flacco falters in the playoffs, look for the Ravens to also contend for Manning’s services.

anyone that thinks the jets will sign peyton manning is an idiot. Because peyton manning is, well, peyton manning he would cost a bunch of money that the new york jets need to invest else where. On top of that mark sanchez is still guaranteed millions of dollars next year whether they decide to trade him or have him sit on the bench. They are not gonna pay that much money for a back-up and they are also not gonna let that much money just walk out the door with their franchise quaterback. As much as all of you sanchez haters would like to think he’ll be gone before next year chances are that sanchez is going to live out his five year contract as the new york jets starting quaterback. Plus, they’re not gonna give up on sanchez who was good enough to get them to two afc championship games. He may not have been the main reason, but when it counted most they could depend on sanchez. This year the entire team has been a let down, not just sanchez. And statistically he has improved this year just like he has every other year. It may not be by leaps and bounds but he has improved. Look at Drew Brees’ stats in his third year they weren’t much different and mark has performed better then Eli did his third year and both of those quarterbacks are considered elite now. While Aaron rodgers was on the bench still his third year. Being ‘elite’ takes time and i think the main problem is that people expected him to be there in his third year

We are heading into Wild Card weekend and you tools are banging away on your keyboards with scenarios of what Peyton Manning will be doing in in 6 months. Is it because of boredom, or needing drama in your lives?

Here’s my two cents: WHO CARES!! A beat reporter says The Jets will do what, no doubt, 20+ other teams will do if Peyton won’t be playing in Indy next season: they will make a call and express their interest. Ooh, wow!!! You all take a thread and weave it into a sweater.

Can we focus on the teams that are still in the hunt for the Big Game?

A lot of you are missing the point here.

Irsay has said that he’ll take Peyton’s wants into account. So, if they decide they need to draft Luck for the future and Peyton doesn’t want to be around for that, Manning will be given the chance to play elsewhere and pick his destination.

Big fish in a small pond? The commercial guy? The SNL host guy? The guy who has his brother playing in NY already and would insure a Manning owns NY for the next 2-3 years?

None of us can know what Peyton would think of playing for Rex. Might he prefer a softer spoken coach? Possible. Would he definitely prefer a coach that would have gone for the undefeated season, unlike Caldwell? Definitely. But we don’t know how much of a premium he puts on any one facet of the coach he’d want to play for.

As has already been said: his endorsement contracts improve the second his press conference in NY concludes. If I was deciding to take the risk of playing again after 3 neck surgeries, I’d go where I had the most chance of combining winning AND improving my bank account…and that’s NY.

Why would the Colts waste a draft pick on a QB when they have the greatest QB to ever play the game. Very accurate pocket passer and is second to none when it comes to reading a defense and setting them up.
He has some good years ahead of him and after that the guy would make a great coach.

It’s simple fellas: trade or cut Santonio, and ride with Sanchez for one more season.

My Steelers got rid of Santonio for a reason…

No way Peyton would ever agree to play in the New York market out of respect to his brother and family. I think he ends up in San Fran. Just my thoughts.

Here we go already. The Jets are the champs of the offseason and back page headlines. I know Jet fans are mostly mentally challenged, but if you actually think Peyton would come to the New York market where his brother is already entrenched as THE QB here and steal his spotlight then you people are dumber than I thought. Not to mention, the Colts would never let him go to the AFC. How do you go through life so dumb?

If Peyton goes anywhere, it likely is through being cut. Folks don’t seem to remember the contract realities that were discussed last time this popped up.

If you’re going to be armchair GMs, at least do a minute’s worth of research.

___
If Peyton is cut, the $20 million bonus that he got last season gets accelerated, moron. So the Colts take a huge cap hit no matter what how Peyton leaves. It’s actually healthier for cap purposes to have both Manning and Luck on the same team next year. What the Colts have to decide is whether or not they want to sacrifice another season for their long-term future or to gamble that Manning can still play while Luck waits like Rodgers did in Green Bay. The latter worked out pretty good for the Packers, so keeping both seems like a no-brainer at this point. Also, if Manning can’t play, it’s likely that there is insurance that will cover his contract from the Colts’ perspective.

Manning will be a Colt for life. If he’s not the QB, he’ll be the OC for a season, then the HC, and finally the president/GM. Or they could just skip the on-field tenure and put him immediately in the front office…

And then he drafts Luck.

if healthy, Manning to the Jets would be good for the Jets and not for some of the personnel. 1-Sanchez (starter for 1st 3 years) will not want to take a back seat and will probably get traded. 2-Schottenheimer will be gone, especially since Tom Moore the “Consultant”, will now be the OC. 3-Santonio will need to get himself together or he will be gone. Bringing Manning in you will get 3 things. 1-QB; 2-OC; 3-GM (Manning will have a say on who he wants on offense

(Lions fan here… but…)

Peyton Manning + San Francisco

Anyone else think this wouldn’t be the perfect fit? As a fan of the Lions in the NFC, I’d rather see the Luck pick get traded to SF (which would be in line with what Harbaugh wanted all along) and Manning would stay in Indy and show how big of an impact he really is.

so glad the SAINTS have turned it around and are not dysfunctional like the Jets. I would take Sean Payton and Drew Brees over Rex Ryan or Peyton Manning anyday. Its all about the attitude! Peyton has a terrible attitude and so does Rex. I played against manning in high school and he was always a whiner, even when beating us by 40 pts!

@ damnws6:

“Those that say Manning wouldn’t want to play with Holmes, etc. are missing the point.

Peyton shows up…Holmes shuts up and plays (he’s a 80 catches, 1000 yd, 8-12 td guy with a good QB). ”

——————–

Um, except last week when Holmes WOULDNT SHUT UP in the huddle and then REFUSED TO PLAY.

Try to know what you’re talking about before you post.

The overwhelming sense of dysfunction is predictable. With guys like Rex it is never pretty when things start to go down hill. When it reaches a certain point the front office will cut ties with this guy, and so will the players, and it will be U-G-L-Y! That is just the nature of being a brash coach like Ryan. He is exactly the opposite of what Belichick is, with Rex’s very high highs and very low lows. Try being a little more even keeled and you can get some consistency out of your teams.

I bet there are plenty of QBs on the Jets radar. Rex needs a new reason to trash talk in the media. I would guess even the press is having a hard time holding back the snickers when he starts prattling on about what he sees in his crystal ball for the Jets future.

It will never happen. Peyton Manning wants to win and would not put up with the shennigans from Santonio, Ryan, and company.

=========

Both Manning brothers in New York? Lets see, a media frenzy and continued exposure and commercial endorsements fueled by N.Y. that or spend millions with the control freak and the other wacky owner Snyder in Washington ?

uh… when’s my flight to N.Y.?

dont think peyton would accept a trade to the jets and the colts arent gonna waive him..they will trade him but prob to the nfc!!! if he went to an afc team i could see broncos going after him..peyton is total opposite of what they have going on there in the jets org..he wouldnt wanna be a part of a circus and his father as consultant prob would veto it as well(just like he did with eli going to san diego)
