Manning To The Redskins?

[chad72]

LOL, not really, but speculation has already started

But given how Bill Polian refused a first round pick from the Dolphins and instead traded Marshall Faulk to get him out of the AFC to the Rams for a 2nd & a 5th, I see him trading Manning to an NFC team before an AFC team, if that is how it plays out .

If he's in another uniform it is because we didn't pick up the option. I don't see any team trading for a 28million option bonus and the remaining contract. If he's not a Colt, he will be a) retired, B ) free to sign with anyone.

Also there is no he would go to Washington and face Eli twice a year.

I would hate to see PM in a different uniform. He'll always be a Colt.

[Andy]

lol if anything he'll end up in Miami, or Jacksonville, somewhere that he could retire ;)

btw, the Redskins writers and front office are a bunch of wackos so I dont you shouldn't listen ot anything they say.

Three teams would make a lot of sense for him.

1) New York Jets - Good defense. Manning v Brady two to three times a year

2) Baltimore Ravens - Good defense. Shut them up once and for all about stealing their team

3) San Francisco 49ers - Good defense & running game. Very weak division.

It's just a hunch.....but if Peyton is released due to injury concerns next February, I think his next stop is......

[Guest COLTS1953]

how about the cowboys, ravens, redskins

The problem with the Redskins and Cowboys is that he would be in the same division with Eli which I think would be very hard on his parents. They are a close family and I just don't think either of those two would fly with him.

If Manning does go to another team, then I will be rooting for two teams for the first time ever. And if Manning plays against the Colts, I'll be very torn about who to root for. Especially if that meeting were in a SuperBowl...

There is on money to be owed if the Colts decide to release Manning or trade. That's how the contract was constructed, it was worked around his health. I however would die if Peyton was traded or released unless he couldn't play anymore. Peyton is the Colts and I understand this is a business. You just can't do something like that to a player that has done so much for your francise. Packers did that to Farve, but #18 needs to be retired here as a Colt.

Hope not. MNF is on ESPN now.

No money owed if he is released or traded, but we will still get hit with a 16 million or in it might possibly be able to be split over 2012/2013 at 8million each if he's traded or released, so it's not like it will be a clean cut either way.

I just hope the Colts don't force him to retire before it's his time. It would be a shame.

I don't think you have to worry about that last scenario happening ;)

Manning to the Argos.

I don't know if it will be MNF, but if Peyton is not playing, he will have a major TV gig.

its a football game. i'm sure the close family would be ok with their sons playing head to head games

[tonychen]

Manning to the Ravens and retire with 2 more rings... Best payback from Colts to their old city.

I don't see that happening. I'm still a firm believer in that one of the main issues Eli had with the Chargers was that they were in the AFC. I know Archie has gone on record that he's not a fan of the "Manning Bowl" and is glad that neither one of them would ever knock the other out of the playoffs. If they faced off in the Super Bowl then so be it, so while I feel there is 0% chance Manning is traded, I don't see that much of a higher chance that he goes to Dallas or Washington. I'd see him In Jacksonville or Tennessee long before Dallas or Washington.

For the Manning Bowl, their parents always said the pulled for a healthy game and a lot of offense.

If Manning can't play I say he becomes our head coach!

OC more likely than head coach.

[Jaric]

OC more likely than head coach.

QB coach more likely. You almost always start as a positional coach.

Yeah as I dont think he will have the tolerence to the defense he coaches.
