Nw220 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on SportsCenter Thursday morning that "people around the league" expect the Colts to release Peyton Manning before his $28 million option bonus comes due on March 8. "Most people around the league now expect (Manning to be cut)," Schefter said. "It's a near-certainty." Manning is not expected to be healthy before the payout comes due, and he isn't worth the $35.4M gamble (roster bonus plus salary) when the Colts will be drafting his successor with the No. 1 overall pick in April, anyway. "Every single sign points to Peyton Manning leaving Indianapolis," Schefter reiterated. Look for the Dolphins and Cardinals to be the NFL's two most interested teams once Manning hits free agency.

BrownIndian Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I'm Shocked ! IF not for Peyton, Colts will be as successful as say the Houston Texans at the best. That guy earned the owner all the fame and the money. One year he gets injured and boom they think about paying him 28 million bonus. The owner is just pulling the trigger on the franchise (which he has every right too) and does not talk to the one man who changed the destiny of the franchise and the one man who is the face of the franchise and he expects the face of the franchise to just shut up and await instructions from this guy ? If the NFL is a business and the owner feels justified in what he did and leave Peyton hanging then Peyton is justified in commenting about the situation. I hope Peyton gets cut and he moves to some other team and comes back to goto the superbowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roach Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 i'm with Zombo on this. Let's make an aggressive run at Manning. The outcome would likely not work out for us, but we'd get back in the ballgame and provide somemuch needed energy in the organization at all levels. Hell, it would be fun- win or lose. We need to have some fun on this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calfoxwc Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I think not. With his injury, he'll get a guaranteed part of his contract, and his neck injury could flare up anytime. Peyton is one of, if not the, greatest, but it's time for him to hang it up, and be a qb coach. I like his new commercial though. It's funny.

slimdawg Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 [quote name='King Ghoolie Lives' timestamp='1327643857' post='269396' You forget something, Archie and Peyton are whiners and complainers. Archie made sure his boy went to a team committed to winning. Manning is NOT going to go to a shit team now, just like he refused to be drafted by a shit team, then. Hey pimpledick, your thinking about the wrong Manning....Eli was the one who whined about who drafted him....not Peyton. Just goes to show your just a fatass RE-RE who doesnt know shit about football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLD Woody Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Get Peyton with big $$$ and tell him we'll get whatever WR FA he wants (more $$$). But they'll each have the added pull of playing with eachother GO ALL IN ON PEYTON! That's what teams do right? Gamble on their futures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy H Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 If he is healthy enough, and is willing to play, he'll go to a team that has a legit shot at a SB without an elite QB. I see the Jets, Cards (maybe) or hopefully San Fransisco, if the price is right going after him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the Jets, Cards (maybe) or hopefully San Fransisco, if the price is right going after him. I don't think Manning would want to go to the Jets after all the locker room problems they had this past year. Not to mention he would have to deal with Rex Ryan and would play in the same city as his younger brother.. Manning would be a perfect fit in Arizona. Fitzgerald is a true #1 receiver and the Cardinals have a solid defense and special teams.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only issue is Oline and receivers outside of Fitz. But man, I really don't want him to go there. They could be a helluva team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just goes to show your just a fatass RE-RE who doesnt know shit about football. In fairness to Ghoolie, he was talking about Eli....I didn't read it to mean he was talking about Peyton. I also agree with Ghoolie in that Manning has his choice of teams and has had plenty of big paydays, so money alone isn't going to sway the decision. I'd say Cleveland would be pretty far down the list. Plus...Shurmer wants to call plays. Manning isn't going to let Pat Shurmer call his plays.

Chicopee John Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 wow...this thread smells of desperation... And why wouldn't it? Ever look at the team's record since 1999? If you ranked all NLR teams, Cleveland would have to rank close to last on Manning list. For a variety of reasons. OTOH, crappy GB enticed Reggie White go move to the frozen tundra. Complete turnaround for that team if, for no other reason, it put GB on the NFL map for FA and other players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loyalty Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 If I had to make a guess, I think Manning would either retire or go to the Titans. I think he would relish the chance to smack Irsay in his fat, stupid mouth and be back in the state where he went to college. Granted, I know nothing about his intentions or the Titans' dedication to Jake Locker, but I think Manning would guarantee sellouts every game next season for the Titans.

nunboy Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 I will vote no on going for Manning. This has Favre 2 written all over it.

Zombo Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 No, we aren't going after Manning. Holmgren, Shurmur and company are too married to their offensive system to let Manning come in here with his own people and own ideas and win for a change. We are going to sink or swim with this offense ... I just hope they are either getting Blackmon for Colt or getting Griffin to run it.

Taco918 Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Id love to see him play again but I'm pretty pessimistic about the whole situation. Neck injuries are bad enough but when you throw in the nerve damage and his age as well the situation starts looking much more bleak. He'll make a hell of an offensive coordinator/coach though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neo Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 This is never going to happen (Mannning coming here) but there are some interesting things. We have Joe Thomas protecting his blindside, and will get better when we get Steinbach back. If we were to get Manning for let say three years, we could focus on getting offensive weapons in this years draft with our two first round picks. We had a pretty decent defense this year, something Manning never had in Indy, and they are young and getting better. We could make it work , but he is not willingly going to come here.

Lets not talk about this anymore please. You know what team that may be? It would be the Ravens, boys & girls. A healthy Manning is an upgrade over Flacco, and everything else is in place. Good o-line- check. Nice running back- check. Decent receivers- check. Stud defense- check. Respected HC- check. I think Ozzie would trade a first round pick for a Super Bowl win.

The Gipper Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 While we're at it how about we shove ground cinnamon up our asses and see if we can shit out some apple doughnuts. What in the world would Manning come to Cleveland for? We have shit running backs and shit WRs, and we have a shit FO to boot. You forget something, Archie and Peyton are whiners and complainers. Archie made sure his boy went to a team committed to winning. Manning is NOT going to go to a shit team now, just like he refused to be drafted by a shit team, then. Teams he might play for? Jets, Ravens, Eagles, Falcons or maybe even The Bears. What he won't even think about. let alone consider, is Cleveland. Let's not be idiotic, shall we? While Cleveland might not be completely out of that picture, it is true that the Mannings would want to obviously control his destiny. One location you may consider: The Tennessee Titans.
