Great. The Skins need to make this happen.

I will order my Manning 18 Jersey tomorrow, I promise.

Although, does anyone think that since his neck problems seem to have started with two Redskins hitting him (possibly in a "bounty" situation) that Manning might not want to come here?

That was my thought when I saw that replay on Monday...but then I remembered Peyton is the consummate professional and wont let something like that effect his decision.

So what is the point of waiting for free agency to start? We should just start signing everyone.

No, he's different because he's being released of his contract. The other free agents don't have their contracts officially expire until next week.

Ok that makes sense, thank you.
