Pretty much zero chance the Redskins, Jets or Ravens a trade for Peyton Manning next year, especially for a first and third rounder. Seahawks - doubt it. I think someone already said it, too much QB talent coming out of the draft. Peyton probably stays where he is, whether or not they take Luck.
The colts would never trade manning. He is the entire identity of the franchise and one of the best QBs of all time. The colts would face a backlash that would make the Vick dogfighting thing look like kibbles and bits.
Great QBs can leave on their own if the franchise doesn't want to pay them but they can never be traded.

If the Redskins ever went after old man Manning, I'd go beat up the FO with a baseball bat.
I mean how many more years does Manning really have in him? I don't see him pulling a Favre and staying way past his due and he just had 2 neck surgeries. I give him another 3 years at most, depending on how he rebounds from these surgeries.
The Skins really need to start building around the draft and young guys, which they finally started doing last year. Please, please please keep this up.
Going after old farts and big names has rarely worked out in the past.

I see the cowboys dumping Tony Elmo and signing Peyton for Jerry's world.

Didn't Manning just sign a new contract during the offseason? And any team that acquires him also acquires that huge contract (which I believe is the richest in the league at present).
I'd say that if ANY team in the NFL would benefit from the "Suck for Luck" campaign, it is the Rams.
If the Rams end up with the #1 overall pick, they could easily trade out of that.
They already have their franchise QB in Bradford, they don't need Luck.
Also with the rookie wage scale in place, more teams will now want to trade into the top 10 rather than out of it.
Rams could trade out of that #1 spot and could easily end up with 3 to 4 picks in the first 2 rounds of the draft.
Surround Bradford with some weapons and see what happens.
Or they could draft Luck and trade Bradford.... You think Shanahan wouldn't go for that one?

Peyton can't win it by himself in Indy. Haven't we already realized this? I say let the Colts keep paying him regardless of they have a chance to draft Luck.

Why would the Ravens, even the Jets, be interested? They seem pretty set at QB.
The Jets are pretty far from set @ QB. The ONLY things keeping Sanchez as the starter there is that they have Brunell as the #2 and that they drafted him so high as a lottery pick. I think if the Jets (and any team not completely solid at QB) would try to go after Peyton Manning if he became available. Even a lot of teams solid @ QB would at least see what the Colts would be asking.

No lets stop the madness, we need to draft our QB. Lets stop taking all these retreads and groom a young QB from the draft to be our guy.

I don't recall the exact details. But as I recall the contract is set up in such a way that it wouldn't be hard for the Colts to cut or trade Manning after this season. And if they traded him, the receiving team wouldn't necessarily be burdened with an outrageous contract.

moot point...all of this. Manning will never play another down in the nfl
