Where Might Peyton Manning Land?

Jets. They’re desperate enough and maybe even dumb enough. If anything I think the fans would be relieved there after seemingly being dissapointed with Sanchez.
If the Cowboys didn’t have Romo, I’d say Dallas cause I’m sure Jerry would be interested.
It’s kind of a shame really, I think he ought to retire. One hit could potentially paralyze him. It’s not worth it. Great QB and unfortunate that his career has to come to this

DC

I say he ends up in Miami if they don’t land Flynn. I’ve also heard rumors about Arizona, but I doubt it, especially after giving so much $ to Kolb.

one year with manning and flacco as a back up. just to see if he can get ed and ray their ring. it would be priceless to watch manning audible every single play.

If he plays, I think he ends up in Arizona. Larry Fitzgerald and a shitty division are two good selling points.

IF Peyton plays again but not for Indy, his new team has more victories than the Colts

Given that the team was a total suck fest without Peyton this past season I’d feel pretty good about putting money on his new team.

The Manning’s would OWN New York!

on a rebuilding team

The teams he has been rumored to most is the Arizona Cardinals and Miami. Even with the neck issues Arizona still claimed they are very interested and have read they think they could have another Kurt Warner situation. Miami early on also expressed similar interest and said they felt Peyton gives them a team ready to contend for the Super Bowl next year, but they are also interested in Flynn. My guess would be one of these teams would get him.

Flynn earlier, so here is my take on Peyton: I think he is done. He has a ring, he has gazillions in the bank, why risk it? He can retire as a dolt and all is forgiven between him and boy genius Irsay; everybody goes home happy.

If he were to sign anywhere, I would have to say DC is the front runner. A decent defense in place, Danny Boy would be just crazy enough to pull off a stunt like this and Shanny would be on board in a heartbeat.

My second choice would be what conventional wisdom says is Miami, especially if Flynn does not end up there. I don’t think Arizona as like someone mentioned, too much money already for Kolb -what would they do, cut Kolb? -would wreck their cap for years. And Peyton wouldn’t even get out of bed for anything less than $15M per season, much less answer the phone. In fact, it will probably cost somebody close to $20M for Peyton.

Seattle has a shot as well. I don’t think Peyton would agree to go to the Jets, even for $30M. For one thing, whatever price they did agree too would leave zippo left for other players. It would be a miserable season. And I do not believe Peyton would want to become part of the circus that is Rex Ryan.

In think Cleveland may be a bit of a dark horse, especially if DC trades with them or ahead of them to get RG3 (instead of DC signing Peyton).

The two X-factors are Dallas and Oakland. Not sure how Oakland views Palmer in terms if he has anything left in the tank or what Palmer’s cap situation is, and not sure about their thoughts on Campbell’s future. Now Jerry Jones- don’t think for a second he wouldn’t kick Romo to curb in a New York Minute if he thought that is all it took to get yet another ring. And with his recent admission about suffered concussions, nothing would surprise me about anything he did…

And lastly, one intriguing possibility that nobody is talking about that I will toss out there: Denver. Elway can make all the pronouncements he wants about Tebow, but let’s face it- nobody believes for a second that Tebow can go into a New England, a Baltimore, I’ll even through in P-burgh because I believe if that playoff game is played in P-burgh, Tebow loses; and win a road playoff game -not going to happen. Maybe in the afterlife… Elway knows that a Manning-led Broncos team could win a road playoff game against the upper echelon AFC teams.
