Colts Officially Release Peyton Manning (QB Thread #11)

Oh that's a bitch move. I swear I will learn how to hack and then proceed to hack you if this erection doesn't go down in the next 2-4 hours.

Yeah, I kind of learned after the fact what Egostatic was all about.

nm.

can we get a confirm or idea on the players involved? #2 pick and keeping the 2nd rounder would work for me.

:laughing-

By the way, I wonder how is Luck feeling with the Colts being blown up.

Well to be fair I did kind of post the story as tongue in cheek. I doubt a slightly more racy and online version of Maxim would be the first to break the story. If they are then I would be extremely surprised.

Hypothetically though, I guess the reason to do it this early if they were to do it would be as a selling point to potential free agents. Instead of saying "we're trying to get RG3" they would get to say that they pretty much will have RG3 come April.

Bad in that he gets a worse team then the one that was bad enough to draft him, good in that it's a sign that they will build around him, hopefully with a team thats not totally dependent on him doing everything like it was under Manning.

I hope he's pissed. So pissed he pulls a draft day Eli. Which somehow benefits us, either by acquiring him or RG3.

To that point, it would definitely help and hurt us to acquire the pick sooner. On one hand if we acquired it earlier it would help in creating a definitive plan to improve the roster, as Dirtbag said, but on the other hand if we waited until draft day to do the trade odds are decent we might pay less in terms of draft picks.

From what I'm reading it's owned a gossip media conglomerate and some people online ("read random people on twitter and various forums") say it's credible.

On the other hand it's a tabloid site and the trade this early makes little to no sense, even as a selling point to free agents.

Ok. I kinda dismissed that article because it's from a highly non-credible source. Which is a kind way of saying I've never heard of that site before you posted that link, and I've been following NFL news on the internet since 2004. But the info in that article is basically what SS here has been suggesting might happen.

But when you say a trade "this early" makes no sense, define how early would make sense to you. I think a trade on the eve or during the first couple days of FA makes sense, especially if the trade suitor market dries up. Like I said if the Redskins pull the trade now, sure it might hurt in terms of draft picks, but it would also help us in saying "ok, this is how many draft picks we have left this year, and this is our available cap space, now lets fill holes via FA and the draft", versus "ok we might have a tough time signing Vincent Jackson with no future qb in place, and we also have multiple options with which to proceed in regards to that future qb, but no definitive road in sight."

Well, unless you guys think that there is still a chance the Redskins go after Peyton, I believe this thread is pretty much finished now that the Redskins have traded three 1's and a 2 for RGIII.
