Although they also need wide receivers and offensive line help. The more I think about it, the more I think he won't sign in the AFC South or NFC East.

What does Jeff Saturday have left in the tank? Saturday may be a more realistic "package deal" than Wayne. Just makes too much sense.
He can throw to anyone, but who is protecting his chin?
Using that as a baseline: I don't see Saturday as a upgrade in Houston. Whereas Wayne and Saturday would be huge in Seattle. But, is money Peyton's driving factor? Do the three of them have enough in the tank to make a difference?
From left field ... Here's a wrinkle, why haven't we heard more about Tennessee? Peyton goes "home"? Britt, Williams, Washington, CJ3 ... plenty of weapons in a weak division. Indy and Jax rebuilding = four wins.
Washington won't happen. I don't see him competing against his brother twice a year for any amount of money.
Miami? Is he enough to "make the turn" in a tough division? Manning, Jets D, Buffalo ahead in rebuild than other division options he'd have.
Jets? Would be interested to have two Mannings in the same building. But, are the Jets close enough that Manning can calm the locker room of distress? And who takes Sanchez? He wouldn't sit without being a distraction.
Arizona seems plausible, but do they want to take him on now? Saturday and Wayne could be just as influential here as Seattle in making a difference. Can they afford to take them all on? Does Kolb get kicked to the curb? Could they afford not to?
What does Peyton actually have left? Will anyone know enough before the NFL Draft to take the risk and sign him? After the draft the options surely dwindle.
My $0.02:
Probable: Seattle, then Arizona
Dark Horse: Tennessee
Wouldn't be surprised: NYJ

with all this Wayne-saturday-peyton combo packaing being told, wouldnt Tom Moore make the most sense to bring in w Peyton?

Why wouldn't Seattle look strong? They have the richest owner in the NFL and more cap room than the phins. Just sayin.

I've wondered about that too. I'd bet he would though.If he doesn't want to ever be in a playoff battle with his brother, the NFC just might not work. The Giants pretty much live in the Wild Card hunt every year. Anywhere in the NFC and he'll likely be competing against Eli for a playoff spot.
The Colts are in rebuilding mode and the expectation isn't that they'll be competing for a playoff spot anytime soon. It wouldn't have that "stick to the Colts" feel to it.
If anything, I'm sure the Colts fans would love a chance to watch him play there every year.
If he wants to be in the AFC, it seems like he'd have to consider the South. The Texans, Titans, and Jags all make decent candidates (Texans excellent if they could make it work).

I heard a report Sydney Rice would give up #18 to Manning...

In my research I was hoping to find a team without a player wearing #18. Seems that there are a lot of wr's out there using that number. Perhaps a lot of insignificant players, but players that would take a bounty
.After I found so many players with that number, I also wanted people to start considering Manning playing next year without that enshrined #18. Now that would definitely feel out of place.

Marshall Faulk said Manning will retire #18 and wear #16.
Faulk spoke like he had insider info. Thought he'd end in Miami (favorite) or NYJ. And that you could eliminate the interested NFC teams due to Eli's presence.

Yep. Heard it as well.Made sense given Eli's decision upon entering league.

Sounds like leverage to drive up the asking cost to NFC teams to me.

Citing persons with knowledge of the team's strategy, The Washington Post reports that the Redskins plan to aggressively pursue signing Manning and two indicated that it would not preclude the team from trying to attempt to acquire Robert Griffin III or another quarterback in the draft.

All this means is the 49ers stand pat with Alex Smith. Which sucks.

Peyton should tell the Dolphins he'll sign with them only if he can wear #13.

this random s!!t is what makes threads 20 pages long and spreads out good content within. Users on the boards who can't read through hours of posts have to just enter the last page and hope to get in on the conversation. I'll exit out of whatever it is you guys are trying to prove to one another and hope that you can provide better material from here out. I apologize to everyone else.
So he wouldn't want to play in the same conference due to Eli's presence, but he'd have no problem playing in the same stadium?

Dude of course. Could you imagine the hyperbowl that we would get with two Manning's in the same conference? The two games during the season would be the NFC East superbowl.

Yes, he doesn't want to be in same conference as Eli. (Same reason why Eli didn't want to go to SD upon entering league -- with Peyton's AFC Colts)Faulk heavily favored him heading to Miami.

Manning pulls over in in church parking lot after landing in Miami to talk to Media.
Reporter ask him some good quesitons as it pertains to Miami Dolphins

We are actually the best fit for him. He would take less hits with us because of our running game and line. Our defense is solid and the division is a pushover (guaranteed playoff spot). Why compete with NE or Pit (and get killed in the process) for the division? Plus we have a stud WR and TE. I just don't trust our leadership to have the balls to make it happen.

Would love to see what Marshall could do with Manning throwing to him.
The conference is the NFC, and Arizona is one of the interested NFC teams who doesn't play the Giants this year. I'd think there would be more hype playing in the same city and stadium than there would be over the possibility of meeting in the playoffs.

Been thinking the same thing. Hou is an excellent team that few people are talking about. The pieces are there and he gets to play against Indy twice a year to remind them what they gave up. No matter how amicable the split, those victories just taste better.

If the Texans had money to throw around, wouldn't they have kept Mario Williams?

the chiefs have the cap space, talent on offense (JC coming back), a young and potential GREAT defense (with eric berry coming back),low key city. why not?

My gut tells me Miami is doing its due dilligence, but in the end Philbin will get his guy (Matt Flynn).
I think the Ravens are in play. They just need someone to get them past that hump while the window is still open. Manning is that guy. Realistically, KC should be the front runner in the AFC if Miami doesn't land him. However, I've come to expect smart personnel moves from the Ravens, so that is where I think he'll end up.

Nothing matters about Peyton's free agency except what Peyton wants to do.
While this is always the case (players sign with teams; teams don't sign players), it will never be more the case than now. This guy just got 20 million to have neck surgeries and refused to not get all of his 28 million when he wanted. His brother Eli forced a trade from the Chargers to the Giants. The way he dictates on the field is the way that family dictates off the field. Today was designed to not make Manning look like a greedy SOB, when at the end of the day he acted on his best interest just like any other player who has the leverage to do so.
Manning plays where Manning wants for the money Manning wants (within reason on both). If Manning truly wishes to play for the Texans, it a great chance of happening. Otherwise this has nothing to McNair or Smith or Kubiak.
