I saw this coming. I'm not sure where he'll be headed. Maybe the Titans?

sign the beast

 

[Brady_to_Moss]

I never thought in my life he would leave the colts..just like tom brady...brees now ect..wow

We all saw it coming..but 3 years ago all of us though he would be a colt for life


There goes the pats-colts rivalry

We all saw this coming but it's still kinda surreal.

IMO he's either going to KC or Miami.

As an aside, I hope I never see TFB play for another team!

If Luck is good...doesn't mean the rivalry will be over, just the Manning part of it.

 

[YearbookCurfew]

I guess...I kinda feel sorry for Manning. A franchise he helped build for 14 years and they just dump him. Kind of a slap in the face.

Given what those teams have...

If he goes to the Chiefs, and the Chiefs' injured players can return near 100%, the Chiefs will be a very legitimate playoff team.

If he goes to the Dolphins, the Dolphins will be the #2 team in the AFCE and should be a serious competitor for the division title.

Dan Snyder is cumming in his pants right now as well as Peyton knowing how much snyder will pay him!

 

[PATRIOTSFANINPA]

Maybe the Saints take him

......Brees refuses to sign the tender and is pretty pissed right now,its going to get ugly in more ways then one in N.O..

We all saw it coming but after seeing the video of him throwing at Duke, I thought their would be a chance the Colts would keep him.

If he lands in the NFC, it will be the first time Ill ever root for Peyton. I think he can reach the Superbowl with the Seahawks, hope he lands there.

Let's have a Tom Brady/Peyton Manning Superbowl!

I think that would be a pretty good match up! I think it'll either be the Hawks, Texans or possibly the Titans.

Now for all the idiots who thought Andrew Luck was going to be holding a clipboard in his hand for 3 years and wasting 25% of his career behind Peyton while Peyton finished his career in Indy :violent:

It's over until Brady retires which won't be for another few years. Then the rivalry will be renewed and it will be Mallett v Luck.

Maybe the Saints take him

Hah -- so absurd but you never know. Then Brees goes to Miami and everyone's destiny is fulfilled. (Can a team remove a franchise tag from a player so he becomes a free agent?)

 

[strongside]

Hey Andrew Luck, no pressure at all..

 

[IllegalContact]

I guess...I kinda feel sorry for Manning. A franchise he helped build for 14 years and they just dump him. Kind of a slap in the face.

I don't feel sorry at all.......if he hadn't held their feet to the fire for the bonus he would be getting, maybe it would be different, but they're actually doing him a favor.....

the niners.......

 

[IndyKen]

I remember hearing he has a house already down in Miami, they have a couple good receivers and an excellent LT to protect him - my money says he'll be a Dolphin shortly.

 

[Deus Irae]

If Polian had provided a legitimate backup to Manning, the Colts would likely have won more than 2 games. That would mean that the Colts wouldn't be drafting #1, and Mr. Luck would be spending his NFL career elsewhere.

So, Peyton can thank Polian for the millions he got for not playing last year, but he can also thank him for having to find a new home.

End of a era....
