Washington Redskins: Sign Peyton Manning
By my estimation, the teams most likely to sign Peyton Manning in order are the: Redskins, Cardinals, Dolphins, Jets and Seahawks. I have Washington atop the list because no one will be able to outbid Daniel Snyder. The Redskins are about $33 million under the cap. Compare that to the Dolphins ($6 million under) and Jets ($5 million over with some flexibility), and it's no contest. After the likes of Mike Sellers, John Beck, and possibly Chris Cooley and O.J. Atogwe are jettisoned as cap casualties, Washington could have more than $40 million at its disposal.

The only other team close to the Redskins in cap space on that list is the Cardinals, who will have about $25 million available if they don't retain Levi Brown. The problem might be the owner. Bill Bidwell lowballed Kurt Warner in contract negotiations a couple of years ago, so if he's not willing to pay his current quarterback, what makes anyone think that he'll come even close to outbidding Snyder? Snyder will offer Manning much more money, so even though Manning may like the prospect of throwing to Larry Fitzgerald, he'll probably opt to take the bigger contract in Washington.

Also, remember that with all that money available, Snyder will be able to bring in Manning's entire entourage. That includes Jeff Saturday, Reggie Wayne, Dallas Clark, and possibly Pierre Garcon and Robert Mathis.

The Redskins already have a great pass rush and sound running game; add Manning, his weapons and the No. 6 overall pick (quite possibly Riley Reiff), and you'll have an instant Super Bowl contender - assuming, of course, that Manning can actually play well coming off his neck injury.

For every one of those articles Musicmaster, there's one of these. It's just crazy.

Source: Dolphins chances with Manning would be good

INDIANAPOLIS -- So far the story of Peyton Manning has been one of whether he'll be healthy, whether he'll be cut by the Indianapolis Colts, and when all this will happen.

But amid the saga of stories and statements and interviews with counter-interviews, I must tell you this:

The Dolphins surely do have a confidence about their ability to land Manning if and when he's available. Why?

Well, here at the Super Site, I' got the chance to talk to several NFL and Dolphins sources Thursday evening and everyone tells me the Dolphins definitely will be making the play for Manning. Secondly, I come to find out Manning is something of a South Florida fan.

A club source told me Thursday evening that Manning has indicated several times during his career an affinity for the region and most recently put his money where his mouth his in that he and his wife bought a condo on South Beach. The name of the condo is Continuum.

"His wife is also a big fan of the area," the source told me. "He likes the area. He likes the vibe of the area more than you might think. They own a condo down here. And no other team that could be trying to sign him will be able to say that."

Interesting.

I really would like for the author of this article to give me an example, under the current front office (Shanny/BA), of a time when the Redskins outbid another team for a FA or made a huge FA splash (such as Haynesworth) because of Snyder's influence.

You guys think there's any chance of JC coming back to DC?

Pretty much 0% chance.

Redskins get outbid all the time. And the Redskins also don't bid all the time.

Yea just thought the cap situation of the teams were interesting us with the most cap room to support the idea.

Anybody wanna take a wild guess as to how we got all that cap space? That's right, by not outbidding anyone for players. ;)

Exactly...it's infuriating. So many in the national media have refused to notice that the redskins are doing business completely different now then they did under Snyderatto. They have not won yet so the media just assumes that it's Snyder business as usual. It's very lazy writing and reporting...

That and clearing out bloated deals from over the hill vets in recent years.
