Peyton Manning's destination (1 Viewer)

[Blackjacks]

Basically I am wanting to see if I am leaving out a team where you could see Peyton filling in for 3-5 years.

NYJ (10%)

Buffalo (5%)

Miami (25%)

Cleveland (5%)

KC (10%)

Jax (5%)

Washington (20%)

Arizona (10%)

Seattle (5%)

Minnesota (5%)

 

[Sabertooth]

I'd put another on there. Retirement is probably north of 25%.

You forgot the Colts. They have as good a shot as any team if we're laying odds.

 

[Multiple Scores]

San Francisco would be a better team with Manning.

 

[benson_will_lead_the_way]

I know it's not going to happen, but with all of the weapons in Philly that would be interesting.

 

[RavenLunatic]

I think all of the people still predicting retirement are those who sold him for whatever they could get, and are now in denial that he is going to play again. And most likely play just as well as before. Especially if he goes somewhere with receiving talent and a good O-Line. Bringing Reggie Wayne along for the ride makes it even easier.

I think 5 years is pushing it but I think 2-3 sounds about right.

Fixed.

 

[Craig_MiamiFL]

Miami or az

 

[B-Deep]

please god, please please please not Washington

 

[eric rymer]

I think it'll be Miami or AZ. Miami really makes the most sense because they have a couple weapons in place. It would be nice seeing him and Brady go at it twice in the regular season.

As a Browns, I am hoping for Washington just because it makes the price for RG3 much cheaper.

 

[midnight_green81]

I say Miami or 'Zona. 60-40

 

[Nero]

I don't know why Baltimore does not ever get mentioned. They are the perfect team for him. They have a 2-3 year window before they have to rebuild and have mediocre QB asking for 15 mil per.

 

[Warhogs]

Could it be possible that a team like Dallas may be a darkhorse candidate? I know they say they have faith in Romo but he has a repution of failing down the stretch.

I'm not sure of Romo's contract but it would seem if Dallas were to make such a move Romo would have to be dealt/released.

This is more of a question of can anyone see a potential darkhorse candidate?

It won't be Dallas. They will continue to build a team around Romo. His contract is up after 2013. They aren't going to sacrifice a sure thing and younger QB for Manning's risk/reward. There is no guarantee Manning 2.0 is going to be better than Romo, or for how long.

I haven't owned Manning since a redraft league 5-6 years ago. But, I still feel retirement is at least in the 10% range.

 

[SacramentoBob]

Arizona, San Francisco, Baltimore and New England would all be good spots for him.

That'd be a decent spot also.

I'm under the impression that he wants to play and not ride the pine. You hearing something different?Speaking of good spots, why not the Giants or Packers?

I think SacramentoBob must be trolling and I'd just ignore him. Either that or he's so far from really understanding the landscape that it's still not worth discussing with him. All the places he mentioned have a zero chance of happening, SF, BAL, NE, DAL. Zero.

Why would either of those teams look at Manning? They both have young QBs who won a SB recently.

Packers - to replace Flynn.NYG - So Manning could finish his career with his brother and his parents could she them both in one trip.

going from Tavaris Jackson to Peyton Manning is absolutely epic in scope.

I should be king of the world too, but it's not going to happen so it's pointless talking about it. These teams have no interest in Manning and your opinion that they should is irrelevant. The OP wants to know where he could go. He likely goes to MIA, ARI, NYJ, KC, WAS, SEA. A few others are long shots. Teams like SF, BAL and DAL have made it crystal clear they aren't moving from their current guy. And mentioning someone like NE is, pardon me, simply stupid or trolling.

Go into your profile and add him to your block list. So much easier.

 

[bicycle_seat_sniffer]

If Im the Jets I go after him.

 

[Tackling Dummies]

If Im the Jets I go after him.

IIRC, Sanchez's cap hit is around 14M, adding Manning is too much $ for the QBs and the Jets are pretty close to the cap as it is.

 

[Todem]

The Dolphins will make a huge run at him if he is sound enough in his recovery. It is a huge wildcard. We really won't know anything till after the draft according to his doctor.

I can see Manning landing here or in Washington and getting Reggie Wayne reunited with Santana Moss and along with Leonard Hankerson having 3 former Hurricanes at WR to go along with Roy Helu at RB (a 3 down back IMO) and Fred Davis.

It will be either the Skins or Fins.

 

[Skeletore Eh]

I'm of the mindset that Manning is going to play again, and at a high level. Assuming this is the case, I think the most interesting part of the discussion is not Manning's value, but the fact that some set of skill players is going to get a massive bump in value. AZ and MIA have been dangled about a lot which would be awesome as Fitz and Marshall would be beastly. Manning to Fitz would just be fun to watch.

Retirement or 1-2 years, max.

 

[houndirish]

I posted this in another thread and even though I can't say I really believe it, it would make for a good story ...

How about the Denver Broncos? Elway has only really confirmed that Tebow is his starter going into training camp. Clearly Elway still isn't sold on Tebow being the face of the franchise. I think there's no denying Elway values the notion of having a strong franchise QB. There isn't another QB in the league (who's potentially available) that the Broncos could sign, relegating Tebow to the bench, that wouldn't cause a firestorm with the fanbase.

This allows the Broncos to elevate their status as a playoff contender and Elway can spin this that Manning would help develop Tebow's skills so that Kid Jesus is more prepared and polished next time his number is called.

 

[Buck Stop]

Skins or Fins sounds right to me.

 

[pghrob]

I am in agreement with Jason Wood. If Manning is throwing in Durham, NC and his teammates are down there working with him, it is going to be tough for Irsay to set him free if he is cleared to play. What is so wrong with keeping him AND drafting Luck and letting Luck learn under the great Manning? Or, if they want, why not try and package the #1 overall and patch other areas of need? While Luck may be one of the best QB prospects to come along in years, if Manning can play another 2-3 years why not try and do massive upgrade in areas that need it by trading away #1 for a bounty and make a SB run with Peyton and improved team?

Romo = Sure Thing?.. LOL

He is coming off a career year statistically. Not saying he is going to win a SB but he is one of the better QBs in the league.

 

[Touchdown There]

This would divide your city. There would be pro-Luck fans buying billboards in Indianapolis. Imagine the boo-birds after a loss. Neither Luck nor Manning want to be on the same team as each other. It would blow me away if this is the route Irsay decides on.

 

[Donnybrook]

Some teams don't currently have the cap space to afford Manning (assuming he wants 12 M per season like Brett Favre).

Regardless of the fact that these teams wouldn't be high on Peyton's prefered list of teams to play for, Vikings, Cardinals and Patriots would have to start cutting players or restructuring contracts to afford him.

Washington, KC, Denver, Seattle and Jacksonville have much more cap room. Miami might be able to get Manning under the cap without restructing many contracts.

I disagree. If Manning is recovered and can play even at 90% his usual game, I can't see a backlash from Indy homers if he is playing for them with Luck on sideline. Does it make sense to do that? No. But Peyton is an icon and if healthy and playing well, no way fans turn on him and team if Luck needs to be future qb in waiting. Stands to reason that Colts will get more for Luck than Manning. If Manning can play, Irsay should take king's ransome for Luck and not look back.
