I'm so glad Peyton Manning refused to sign with the Redskins in free agency. What more could we want other than Robert Griffin III?
You know what, the salary cap hit may have been the best thing to happen to us.
We might have signed Manning if we could have been able to afford it.

Your timing is off dude, the trade was made prior to the start of free agency and Manning had already rejected our overtures before we initiated the trade as well. The salary cap hit came down the afternoon before free agency was set to begin.

Is that true or did we decide we wanted to make the trade with the rams? I remember hearing peyton was alittle stunned when he heard the news of the trade? He was having lunch with someone and they told him about the skins trade and said he looked stunned?

Unsure of the date but it was within 3 days of his release. On or around March 8 from a quick google search.. March 10 was RG3 trade, cap penalties came down March 12, free agency began March 13.

Manning and the Redskins met on March 11th, the day after the Redskins-Rams trade. That meeting is when it became "official"
