The Peyton Manning talk...

[sb1]

Please make it stop....

If Manning becomes a Patriot, someone will leak unreleased HGH info that confirms Manning's guilt. Goodell will suspend Manning 4 games.

PM is retired. Glad he is not coming here.

Manning is on the Broncos reserve/retired list. They still own his rights.

Besides that, who would want Edelman and Amendola taking passes from that guy? I think Mannings record with short, quick wide receivers is an ugly list to follow.

this is not a doom and gloom situation. Its just 2 more games.

Not that I see a chance of him coming out of retirement, but the second Manning announces that he is unretiring the Broncos would have to cut him. He has a huge cap hit. Like $20 million.

Is Manning's wife available?

 

[Nitro]

I wanted to punch my monitor when i opened the thread but 5 seconds later I thought "its just two games and being able to read both broncos and colts message boards would be glorious"

Screw it, do it.

He sucks, even more than guys like Flynn and Lindley.

She's busy getting ready for IFBB world body builders championship

You're right, that would be difficult to deal with. Although they are $9.5M under already, and $2.5M of their cap space is already based on dead money for Peyton's restructured bonus. He has a salary of $15M so it's not totally unfeasible for them to clear up $5M if they think they can get something for him.

It isn't totally unfeasible. I say there is a solid 0.000001% chance of the Broncos doing that.

Sorry, there is next no way they would or could do it.

that would be absolutely hysterical, i think all involved would do it just for the humorous part

Tangent: When a player retires, how long does his last team own his rights? Forever? Just for the next season? Something else?

That's the best argument yet for why we should sign him

 

[supafly]

Not sure where this ridiculous idea came from (not speaking towards the OP, but rather the media) but there's so many things wrong with this thinking that it'd be difficult to list them all.

I would bet that Belichick would happily take a Doug Flutie in his 50s for a game or two vs. giving any consideration to Manning, whose rights are owned by Elway and the donkeys.

 

[zydecochris]

I could see BB putting in some type of wildcat or run option (say, with J.E.) as a one game surprise before bringing in Manning, that is just plain silly on many levels. And with his ego P.M. would come in for as a placeholder for Brady for two games? C'mon.

If he were on the Colts reserve/retire list, they would let us have him to thump Houston ;-)
