Manning will stay in the AFC so he can face Eli in the Super Bowl aka the MANNING BOWL.

You know which possible destinations are in the AFC?

maybe peyton wants to go to an afc east team to try and beat brady twice and take a division title over him, to cement his GOATness over brady

tanny is a master at freeing up cap space. and this


if they believe they can win now with manning, they should cut sanchez, free up the 12 mil (to have around 15mil free), and try to rework some contracts in order to get manning.

again, we have no idea what's going through mannings head. he might not want to play in the NE, or even outdoors.

I have a feeling this is a 2 horse race between the Cardinals and Dolphins. The Cardinals got a TON out of Warner in the twilight of his career, and if Reggie Wayne follows him down there PLUS the existing threats in Fitz and Beanie...wow. Miami is basically the same thing, plus the 2x games against Brady. Tough to say which conference/division he'd rather be in. I think Minnesota would be a phenomenal fit, but I think the management around here is pretty happy with Ponder, plus he would be in GB's division, which is going to make life harder no matter how good they are.

As a Colts fan, this whole thing makes me pretty depressed. As a Peyton Manning fan, I can't wait to see what he can do in a new place. If he's healthy, he automatically improves any team he lands on to Super Bowl contention IMO.

he is definitely not going to Houston even though that would be perfect for him (dome).

this is all dependent if he's even remotely healthy too.

i have no idea where he's going.

how much would u lay me for peyton to miami jetto, make it happen gogogogo

really?

So Nicks and V. Jackson make the Ravens better then Manning? I think I would rather have Manning.

this isn't MVP Peyton we are talking about. This is 3 "neck procedures in 2011" Peyton (it was 3 right?").

people are getting carried away.

4 I think

I understand that but Manning at 90% is like the 5th best QB in the league.

Meh. If Peyton signs somewhere for big money and comes back, it will be because he's healthy enough to physically play well.

The real issue is whether Peyton and whoever his OC is can design the 'Peyton Manning' offense and teach it to everyone to get them all on the same page quick enough to make him perform at his peak level. Lots of teams suffer in the first year of a new system, and I can't imagine anything being more complicated than the mess Peyton runs at the line of scrimmage.

KC makes the most sense.

i'm just saying he might not be even close to 90%. he last played in 2010. he'll be 36 in 3 weeks. i'd be very wary.

ideally, yes.

niners have the cap space to get peyton and wayne (really, they need both) without having to restructure anyone else's contracts/cut ppl and i THINK they'd still have enough to get 1 more biggish player. adding peyton (even at 75%) and wayne to what they have already, hooooly **** that would be a loaded ****ing team

Agreed. I should have clarified that that post was based on the idea that San Francisco's personnel people have all said they like where they are, Alex Smith included. Peyton in San Francisco makes that team absolutely insane.

The Ravens seem like they've been getting by okay with Flacco. And yes I think Nicks + Flacco + VJax is > than just Manning. They've got playoff wins in each of the last 4 years and just went 12-4 the last two seasons.

Minnesota?

Ya surprised there hasn't been more talk of this. Bowe Breaston Maoki potentially Wayne and Charles. Don't they have a good defense too?

49ers would be crazy if he is anywhere close to 90%.

Minnesota is going into rebuild / youth mode. They won't be after manning.

The Niners have repeatedly said they have no interest.

which pretty much makes them a lock

gg, nfl

that means less than nothing

I don't really think it means less than nothing in this case, but whatever.

Idk how much cap space Minnesota has, but if they could sign Manning and VJack maybe...
