Manning kind of threw a monkey wrench into doing the mock draft early by getting cut. We'll save it until after FA.

No, it will fix ALOT. We will be excited for our team for sure, but if Peyton is back to his level of play, the Dolphins will FINALLY be a contender. First time in my life.
now now wandering, dont worry you'll eventually make the playoffs this century!

This is our year! Assuming Tom Brady and Bill Belichick retire, Peyton doesn't go to the Fins and if the Jets...
...well, if they just keep doing what they're doing.
Should I have said the Lions, Bills or Browns? Or should that be just Bills and Browns now?

You know, no matter how dark these days may be, no longer how long this stretch of winless pain is, we can always hang our hats on the fact that we're not the Browns.
We're not the Browns.
We have hope.
Trade for RGIII, I'm sure he could get you a playoff app within 3 years.

Honestly, I really, really am holding out hope that's what they're going for. If nothing else, we'd get a Reggie Bush-esque boost in media coverage and attendance. It would be good for the team...unless he's bombs hard.
I don't see that happening any more than I see the team actually reaching for him.
His fearsome rushing skills propelled the Texans to two wins vs Manning during his tenure

No he doesn't. They never intended on paying him it when they created this contract. Most fans beg the team to cut him but what's actually going to happen is we'll restructure his contract. What they SHOULD do is move him to the right side as his greater strength is run blocking and that would make him cheaper for the new contract, too. It's just a matter of finding someone for the LT spot... I'd love to take a chance on Bell but otherwise I'm content to throw Reiff in there. Just don't think he'll fall to us. Speaking of not falling to us, if only we could get Kalil. Sigh.

He can't be any worse than what the Pats have.

That would be the most hilarious place for him to go. The crazy American fundamentalists will still call for Tebow to start over Manning.
My post was mostly a jab at old rookie contacts, also doesn't mean its not 17 million cap figure, regardless of if you are going to pay him it.
haha those wacky American fundamentalists
wow what a great point, you really know your shit

That Manning press conference was too much for me. The guy is pure class, there is no way I'd be able to keep my composure like that after the team I gave my life to spit in my face.
Although when he wins a Super Bowl with the Niners he's going to start off his MVP speech with "Hey Jim, how's my dick taste?"

Wait so manning won't necessarily be a ufa? Someone has a shot at waiver wire first?

Been wondering this as well. What is his value worth right now.
What price can you place on a SB?
yep considering Pitt just lost which means we probably wont even get an NIT invited means I have nothing but Pirates till the fall

I wonder if people went this overboard when Montana left the Niners. The chances of Peyton winning another Super Bowl are slim.

His chances have got to be better then quarterbacks on certain rosters.

Peyton's landing spot could be interesting. Taking it by division:
NFC East - The Skins are the only real contender here, but I don't see Peyton wanting to go head-to-head with his brother twice each year.
NFC North - Assuming he wants to win one more SB, the only team that needs a QB here is the Vikes and the competition in the division isn't suitable for a shot at the SB real quick. I'd say no.
NFC South - Same problem as the North. The Bucs are the only team that would consider needing a QB, but with the Saints and Falcons being perennial playoff teams, it's gonna be tough to get the Bucs a short road to the postseason.
NFC West - intriguing... I agree that if the 9ers bailed on Smith and went after Manning that they'd become instant top tier contenders. The question is whether Harbaugh and Manning could co-exist. Peyton is used to having mild-mannered coaches that he can run roughshod over. Harbaugh could end PeyPey's career with one handshake. The Cards are an option but only if they want to bail on Kolb quickly. Seattle also an option as they need a QB. The question is whether Sea or AZ become SB contenders with him.
AFC East - I think the Jets are in the running if they decide to cut Sanchize. There's something to be said about being close to family, and having both Mannings in NY would be a media frenzy. Miami is obviously also in the running. In either case, the league wins because Peyton goes up against Brady twice each year.
AFC North - Nothing here, despite Larry's wishes. Everyone is either set at QB or they're the Browns.
AFC West - Again intriguing. A weak-ass division. SD and Oak are set at QB, but both KC and Denver could make moves to get Manning. Either team becomes instant division contenders with him at QB given the rest of the division's weakness.
AFC South - The real dark horse is here: Tennessee. I think someone mentioned this as how it was going to go down. They can cut Hasselback. Locker is in a rookie contract that doesn't eat a lot of cap space so he can sit for 3 years or so. You've got CJ. You have a couple of receivers. They sort of lurked at the edge of postseason competitiveness all season under a new coach. Manning obviously has ties to Tennessee. He makes them an instant contender vs. Houston for the division.
So... contenders: NYJ, Mia, Sea, SF, AZ, Den, KC and Tenn. Everyone keeps screaming Miami and I guess it could go that way. The shortest road to the playoffs is supplanting Tiny Hands in SF. But I just would not be surprised to see him land in Tennessee or in NY if those teams decided to throw their current QB under the bus.

Peyton Manning is in South Florida, according to Miami media
Is he going home or to visit the Phins?

Well, you do have to admit that this is the one way Elway could get out from under Tebow-mania without being scalped by the natives.
Ohshitohshitohshit.

The Colts terminated his contract, so no he is not on waiver.

I watched the full conference with questions.
I loved his response to considering retirement.
"I don't want to retire, and I don't feel like I have anything to prove." Nobody loves their job more than I do." "Nobody loves playing QB more than I do, I still wanna play."
