Colts Officially Release Peyton Manning (QB Thread #11)

Manning and RGIII as the backup is the best case. You got Manning for 3 to 4 years then resign RGIII and release Manning. You are set at QB for 10 to 12 years then start building everything else around that.

Peyton Manning aims to pick team within week, sources say - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7659947/peyton-manning-aims-pick-team-week-sources-say)

Good watch.

Schefter said PM favors the AFC. Arrrrrrrgh!

OK, then I'll predict that it will be Miami.

It may soon be time for the Skins to pick up the red phone and call St. Louis to make the deal for the #2 pick.

That is brought up in this video also.

Crap now I want him, at least until he signs with us where I'll get a case of buyers remorse.

You and everyone else...although Denver has come out of nowhere from what I see on Twitter.

Isn't that always the case with us?

I highly doubt a deal for the #2 pick will be done before 24 hours from the draft.

I agree, at least officially. There could easily be a "handshake deal" in place that will be contingent on the Rams not getting a better offer or the other team getting cold feet. I like to think of it as getting engaged but keeping it secret from everyone else.

I buy that 100%. He is not coming here no matter what we offer him. Why would he come to the team that needs the most work and then have to go against his brother 2 or 3 times a year. I think they enjoy the times they do play against each other but not in this case.

Yeah, I kinda do too and I think that sucks. I want to say in the past when they played each other, one of them stated they didnt enjoy it. dunno, I think it would be kick ass for the league to see that match up twice a year.

In regards to Manning wanting a home within the next week I think part of it is he wants to learn the offense as soon as possible the other part is getting in position to encourage the front office to go after his guys when free agency opens.
