ESPN reporting Colts - Manning divorce to be announced Wednesday - Page 13 - New England Patriots Forums

Both Bill Polian and Tony Dungy are reporting(Sportscentre) that Peyton does not like playing against Eli , The games where they play against each other supposedly take a toll on Peyton.
So i guess this rules out the Redskins and maybe even the Jets. Of all the teams trying to land him i think AZ makes more sense and they also have larry fitzgerald ......a top class WR

Sad day. Just wanna say thanks to Peyton. It's been a great rivalry and everyone knows that until 08, colts vs pats was the real superbowl every year. We've lost some and won some. It was our job to hate him and in the first few years I absolutely couldn't stand him and I bashed him any chance I got. But I've got to say through the years I've come to respect the man. Good luck.

Why the Jets? They're AFC-NFC, and they just played this past season. If his goal is not to play against Eli, the Jets are a near-ideal choice, unless I'm missing something.

Disclaimer: I don't think he'll go to the Jets, but for different reasons. Miami, KC, and Arizona all seem more likely to me.

Sources close to Peyton (Dungy and Bill P) have said he doest not want to share or be in the same city as his borther ELI

There doesn’t seem to be any desire in Peyton to share a city with Eli or play in the same division with his younger brother.

Manning has apparently left Denver without a deal and is on his way to Arizona:

It's been like Where's Waldo day. He seems to have spent an aweful lot of time in Denver since he was not in AZ all day. Now AZ gets him for the evening. Miami still doesn't have a firm committment on his visit there...And then there is the supposed interest in KC. I heard yesterday also that Archie was traveling with him. Comfort wise it will be hard for other teams to match up to the dynamic that must have unfolded in the Rockies with 3 QB's who all speak the same language essentially calling the shots all tossing around scenarios.

Miami never stood a chance because Manning does not want to be in the same division as Brady. Playing him once a year is one thing, but having to compete with the Patriots for the division title is a whole 'nother thing entirely.

It's really just a race between Denver and Arizona, coincidentally both of whom the Patriots play this season. I think AZ makes the most sense because of the dome and Fitzgerald, but the pundits seem to favor Denver right now.
