He said DC was intriguing to Peyton because he remembers what Shanahan was able to with Elway late in his career, and of course, Peyton wants to go out on top with one last Super Bowl victory. Kravitz said there was an equal chance for us, the Cardinals, the Seahawks, and the Dolphins to land Peyton.
I don't get how any of those teams make sense, and the Redskins least of all. Definitely agree if Manning continues to play it's with the sole purpose of winning more championships. San Fran, Baltimore or the Jets are the teams closest to winning a SB w/ better play from their QB i.e. P Manning. More importantly he could walk into any of those (three) situations and model the offensive scheme just how he wants it.

But again it makes no sense for Manning to consider the Redskins. He, for all practical purposes, is the offensive coordinator and QB of his team. Why play under arguably the most limited HC/OC duo in terms of versatility and vision? Manning's not going "learn" a losing, esoteric scheme and thereby give up on what he's been doing for over a decade...he's going to do what he does best: shred defenses, often in a no-huddle offense calling plays at the line. He's got more football intelligence than Mike and Kyle combined, what an awkward situation it would be to play for them!!!
