The Latest Peyton Manning Rumors
by Joel Thorman on Jan 30, 2012 9:45 AM CST
Email
PrintThe Peyton Manning story is one that's big enough that most fan bases will be interested in following so we'll highlight some of the big developments that crop up over the next few weeks.
This morning, there's not a whole lot of new information -- just a bunch of rumors. But some interesting rumors, including more predictions that Manning could be done.
There was a report from NFL.com over the weekend that Colts owner Jim Irsay had already made the decision to release Manning but Peter King of SI.com says Irsay strongly denied that. King reported that Manning is having trouble getting healthy and with his big roster bonus due on March 8 it's hard to envision a scenario where Manning is with the Colts past that date.
There are also a few reporters who are saying that, if they had to guess right now, they'd say Manning is more likely to retire. That doesn't mean he will -- just that we need to remember that retirement is a possibility here.
Things can change, and they usually do, but right now it looks like Manning is either A.) going to be a free agent or B.) retire.
And, if you thought ESPN covering Tim Tebow was bad, just wait until Manning is a free agent.

If Manning wants another Super Bowl
I can’t imagine a better scenario for him than kc. Strong core ready to compete, especially with a high caliber qb like him. Hope his neck heals, cause I’ve changed my mind. I want him here.

Yup
Especially considering that it’s a neck injury. Joe Montana’s elbow was certainly a cause for concern, but neck injuries are far more touchy, especially in the NFL. If he’s lost strength and velocity, he’s not Peyton Manning anymore.
I’ll say this, though…if Manning becomes a free agent, I suspect he’ll be healthy enough to play because he’s always struck me as having enough pride that he won’t play if he’s not at least close to his same ability level. But at this point, I seriously doubt he goes anywhere except New York and I’m suspecting that it’s more likely we’ve seen the last of him in the NFL. Which is really unfortunate because he’s been a great player. But that’s just the way it goes…anyone’s career can end at any time.
He signed a HUGE extension
knowing he had a serious injury…

Who Wouldn't?
Sorry, but if somebody offers me $28 million, I’m taking it…whether I can perform at a level to justify it or not. :)
I think Manning probably figured he’d bounce back, though. Everything he’s done during his downtime indicates a guy who thought he’d be able to come back. Sometimes it just doesn’t work out, though.
I'll be surprised if he can play again.
I hope he can, but I don’t see it happening. Fusing vertebra and nerve impingement are no joke.
not true!!!
Peyton clearly said: he was fine before May!
He has more money already than he can spend in 10 lifetimes.
I completely agree on the pride factor
I don’t think he’ll play if he doesn’t think he can be at least 80-90 percent. He doesn’t want to be one of the athletes that people remember the later years when he struggled (at least I’m guessing he doesn’t).
I also believe we may have seen the last of him.

I don't think If/when
he becomes a free agent it’ll take that long.I’m sure if he feels as though he’s going to play,he’s already narrowed his choices down.I do believe if he can’t return he may retire & become a QB coach followed by OC then HC.

Nice list, H2E.
I’d have to agree with all of it. Though I think I’d have KC ahead of NYJ, only because I don’t know that Peyton would want to go to NY and compete with his brother. But I could be wrong.
Honestly, I think retirement is much more likely at this point. If he’s not healthy, that’s one more year on the sideline. For a player of any age, that might be it.

Arizona Won't
They’re stuck with Kolb for another year and the Bidwills have shown they’re nothing if not cheap (except when it comes to Fitzgerald). Aside from the Super Bowl season, Arizona is one of the dregs of the NFL.
I smash on the homerism all the time on here
But if we had a healthy (or close to healthy) Peyton, yes, we are instant SB contenders.

I will be pounding 50-1. Even without Peyton, that’s absurd. I think we’re the favs to win the division and at that point, it’s easy to hedge and make $.

If he can get a bye and make it to the NFC Championship game with scrub ass Alex Smith he can go undefeated with a real QB. Plus its not like Alex Smith is in a position to get his panties in a bunch over being benched for Pey Pey.

makes sense from our perspective
but, I could also see him saying “Smith improved a LOT this year, and he’s our QB… no need to set him back with a Farve-like acquisition”
Harbaugh’s not stupid
Understatement of the year. Dude’s amazing.
On the flip side, he’s SUCH a good coach (especially with QB’s) that he may well view having a genuine franchise QB as less important than a “decent” QB with a stacked team.

What's their backup plan if Manning goes down?
Kaepernick? Because it won’t be Alex Smith, because he’ll be playing elsewhere and they sure as hell aren’t going to pay Smith franchise starting QB money only to sign Manning 2-3 months later.

Who else is going to give Smith Franchise starting QB money?
There are only so many jobs to go around. I’ve been told this over and over again by the people here that think Orton would come back to ‘compete’ for the starting QB job.
There's 7-8 starting jobs available
Someone will pay him because someone will be desperate enough. He’s not going to be sitting there until April/May or later without a job.
"Give them nothing! But take from them everything!"

He will if he wants to roll the dice on getting a big contract
And I count maybe 5 starting jobs available:
Mia, Cle, Wash, Sea…maybe TN.
One of those will go to RG3. One to Flynn.
And as UC said, none of them will give him big $…other than SF. It will likely be in his best interests to wait and ‘hope’ to get a decent contract from SF.
Scratch Tennessee And Washington And Probably Miami
Tennessee is committed to Jake Locker and already has Hasselbeck. Washington isn’t even close to being ready to compete for a Super Bowl…especially now that LaRon Landry has a bad Achilles that needs surgery. Miami is likely going after Matt Flynn.
I also doubt Cleveland will be interested or that Manning would want them, considering the crap state of their WR corps and o-line. They’re still rebuilding. Seattle is possible on that list.
You missed what I was replying to
I was replying to the comment that there will be 7-8 starting jobs open.
Which GB thinks A. Smith would fill.
No one is giving Smith crazy money
Sign Smith, sign Manning, win Super Bowl, Manning goes out on top, hand keys back over the Smith

So 8+M to Smith and another 15-20 to Manning.
They’re going to wrap that much money up in 2 QBS?
"Give them nothing! But take from them everything!"
by GenericBrand on Jan 30, 2012 11:57 AM CST up reply actions
I Doubt Manning Gets $20M
More like $10M with incentives. Nobody is betting the farm on a guy with a bad neck. And if he played again, he’d be going for a Super Bowl.
We talking guaranteed?
That will depend completely off his medical reports.
I could see him getting $20 mil if he can convince a team to wait until the Summer, and he has proven or mostly proven his health.
If he can’t…he may not even get $10 mil guaranteed.
It's Possible, But
I don’t think any team gunning for a championship and needing a QB is going to be willing to wait until summer, except maybe the Niners. And I doubt they’ll be breaking the bank for Manning at $20M considering that they aren’t even going to be able to re-sign Carlos Rogers or Shawntae Spencer. If he plays in San Fran to win a title, I think he does so for a discount.
And I don’t think Manning cares as much about the money as he does about competing.
Basically
If he doesn’t sign in New York or San Francisco, even if he’s healthy enough to play I don’t think he comes back.
Those are the favorites, as I see it
And I’ve been saying that for awhile.
It’s hard to know how he views the Chiefs, and that’s the wildcard.
He may realize the potential, or he may see us as a mess from the top down. Who knows.
If We Don't Have A Good OC Hire
I don’t think we even get considered. And by “good” OC hire, I mean somebody who makes people say “wow”.
I think he does care about the money too
Not that he’d go play in Jacksonville because they give him $30 per year, but I don’t think he’d accept a major discount to play for another contender. Just basing this on the fact that he & his agent really dug in vs Indy to get the best contract in the league.
Predictions:
I'm going to stop predicting positive things
Then again, he can only take what's offered
or retire
Predictions:
I'm going to stop predicting positive things
They Didn't Dig In That Much
Irsay made a point of saying before negotiations started that Manning would be the highest paid player.
I agree that Manning plays for money…but I think he’s also the kind of player who would take a discounted deal elsewhere for a shot at one last ring if he’s healthy enough to play.
And I Think Smith Will Be Lucky To Get $8M
I think he’ll be closer to Tarvaris Jackson…$8M for two years.
yeah, for a starting QB that's a low figure
Predictions:
I'm going to stop predicting positive things
I don't know
how anyone can live on a paltry $4 mill a year…
by AnkenyChiefsFan on Jan 30, 2012 5:29 PM CST up reply actions
Yeah but he's so damn close right now
Another angle, he may be so close right now that he can give his entier draft to Indy for #1 overall. He’s a former QB and he developed the greatest QB prospect of our time. He knows the importance and I can’t see him being content with what he’s got.

SF's problem is where they are picking...
Both this year and in future years.
They would have to pay a LOT more in terms of picks just b/c they will be picking in the back of drafts.
A team like Wash, Sea or Cle, are both bad now, but also you may expect them to be bad in years to come. So 3 #1’s from Cle, for instance =’s a heck of a lot more from SF.
Seattle Is A Team On The Rise, I Believe
Their biggest problem early on was that they replaced four starters on the o-line and had no offseason to get them practicing together. By season’s end, they were a much better unit. They have a very solid run D and a decent offense. They’re a QB away from being a good team, I think.
I'm somewhat on board with that...
And I actually think Wash isn’t that far away either if they had a good QB, which is why I singled out Clev. Of course, if I’m Clev, it makes much more sense to swap picks with STL to get to #2, for far less and roll with RG3.
Still, contrast any of those teams with SF…and you are counting on much better picks over the next 2-3 years.
I Think They're A Lot Further Off
Santana Moss is done and I don’t think they have a #1 WR otherwise. Some young talent, but far too dodgy for Manning to consider. I’m betting Washington ends up drafting Ryan Tannehill.
They had a solid D, and with terrible QB play, a decent O this year
They also were horrible in TO ratio, and a lot of that goes away with a new QB and better luck.
As a gambler, I backed them on a number of occasions this year and did well.
They also beat the piss out of the NFC Champ twice.
Valid Point
But still it’s tough for me to consider a team with DeAngelo Hall as their shutdown corner to be that serious a contender.
Plus, it looks like LaRon Landry is a candidate for Achilles surgery…which he’s refusing to get. Subtract him from the equation and they aren’t nearly as good.
Cleveland
will trade its 2 #1 picks this year to move up 2 spots and grab RGIII. Bank on it.

I think it depends on who's available
if either of those teams can get a healthy Peyton Manning I think they’ll both quietly pursue him but if the best FA QB is Orton or Grossman then I think they’ll stick with what they have.
The question for any team
Is are you willing to go Manning or bust? If SF signs Manning it’s doubtful Alex Smith would re-sign there to be a backup for the next 2-4 years of his career. So what happens if Peyton gets hurt again & can no longer play…you’re basically without a QB & done. The same goes for any other team that would sign him.

You say that like teams will be beating the door down to sign Smith
And that if they ‘lost’ him they couldn’t replace him with an Orton type.
Smith’s only hope for a big contract is from SF. Otherwise, he’s going to be competing with Orton for whatever the one starting QB spot is left whenever the song ends and the last chair is left.
Who Is Going To Be Going After Alex Smith?
Granted it’s impressive how hard he fought to come back, but his career in San Francisco has been a bust. Injuries, poor development and now limited ability. You’re talking a guy with less upside than Orton…he might be a sought-after backup but nobody cares about making him a starter except San Fran.

I'd put us at #2
And maybe #1…San Fran might be happy with Alex Smith’s performance after this post-season. Are the Jets done with Sanchez? And even if they weren’t would Peyton want to upstage his bro by coming to NY and also want to play the Pats twice or maybe 3 times a year? And I think with some draft and FA pickups to fill out the right side of the line (DeCastro and Nicks, or Decastro and Sanders or Reiff and some other right guard pickup) our line is pretty well set. I think our team as a whole is better than Miami, and has better receivers, Brandon Marshall not withstanding.

Id say it would be
SF
Arizona
Miami
Vikings
Jets

Won't be San Fran or Miami.
San Francisco will have to make a decision on Alex Smith long before Manning gets cleared to play and he starts looking for a team and I just can’t see Miami potentially going into OTAs with no QB.

Maybe Romeo is waiting for Manning to announce his retirement
so he can hire him as the OC
Men succeed when they realize that their failures are the preparation for their victories.
Hammerfisting my own balls since 2006
I had a crazy thought about this^^^
What are the rules if we were to hire Manning as the OC, and had him fill in a bit ac Quarterback? Would that be a hit on our cap space or just staff money?
It Would Be A Cap Hit
Because he’d have to get a salary as a player. No way around that. I don’t even know that the NFL allows player-coaches, actually.
Durn, thought it was a good idea.
OH well, we got some room on the cap, if healthy sign and pay the man. I do remember Joe coming to town and how shocked the NFL world was on that day. I was kinda Giddy myself.
At least with Peyton they'd have an actual reason to talk.

I can't wait for Peyton to hit the market
and for the Chiefs to make absolutely no attempt to get him.
At least the Manning coverage would be warranted--Hall of Famer leaving the only team he's played for.
The ESPN Tebow nightmare was just ridiculous.
Toby is in HR, which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family. Also, he's divorced, so he's really not a part of his family.
Agree about Tebow
I can’t even watch ESPN. They have decided that kid is money and they can talk about him til they are blue in the face, I wish everyone would just change the channel so they’d get the hint.

Didn't Say It Was A Groupie
You think QBs aren’t able to score hot non-groupie women who can keep their mouths shut?
Or they go to pros.
I’m not suggesting Tebow has gone to prostitutes but a lot of famous people do because those broads will keep their mouths shut.
Toby is in HR, which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family. Also, he's divorced, so he's really not a part of his family.
I think he should retire
He needs to look out for himself. Every team that wants him. I know he wants another shot at a championship (especially if Eli wins next week), but the risk of possibly getting hit and never walking again seems too high. Plus it’s always better to go out on top, don’t Favre your career Peyton!
As long as Manning doesn't throw his religion in my face...
I will actually enjoy watching the media circus.

If the Chiefs hire Josh McDaniels, I will cancel my season tickets -- phew!
Right now I'm more interested in his recovery prognosis.
I read recently that he has tried stem cell therapy in order to promote healing.
If that is indeed true, that is cutting edge therapy that is NOT completely proven to work, which may indicate that medically he is just not healing correctly.

which may indicate that medically he is just not healing correctly.
Won’t it be fun to see Peyton trying to play for another team and the ball comes out at some point in his throwing motion (aka Brad Johnson) every third time he takes it back?

Because hating an individual is so analogous to grouping people together that you have never met and that will never have an impact on your life and trying to restrict their rights and liberties

I think this will take awhile to sort itself out too so expect this soap opera to continue.
If Peyton decides to retire or play, the decision probably won’t be made until long after he’s released.

Hard to imagine how the decision
could be made until long after he’s released, if he is released. There is no way on earth he is healthy before that roster bonus comes due.

I honestly wouldnt expect a decision until after the draft.
When most of the teams who would be in the running will have drafted an option or will be neck deep in bonuses and salaries for their current starters.

Yep...
It’s highly unlikely Pey Pey plays anywhere in 2012… just my opinion, of course, ‘cuz I’m no investigative journalist (one of the few things I’m not mind you) but it gets harder and harder to see how any team takes a leap for Peyton with his health issues and the money he can still probably command.

if KC fixes their O-Line in the draft
and if Peyton can get healthy this year, I think KC is looking pretty attractive after the draft. It’s one team where an offensive system isn’t established. He could come in and make it his pretty quickly.
Baltimore hiring Caldwell today probably means they'll go after him
As for KC, the big advantage we have is the cap space to pay him like an elite QB without sacrificing other spots on the roster. That assumes Pioli & Hunt are actually willing to pay him, which is questionable.
Predictions:
I'm going to stop predicting positive things
because Caldwell coached him
for about one year?

If Baltimore gets Manning though they likely let Flacco walk.
And then we pick up Flacco because his favorite mentor is our QB coach. He’s not an enormous upgrade but at least he has an NFL arm.

It doesn't matter how good of a situation the Chiefs are in
You have to look at this from the outside. KC is practically invisible when looking at it from a media perception standpoint. SF and the Jets are in the spotlight right now, so those are the realistic options in my opinion. It sucks to say it, but the Chiefs aren’t even in this conversation.
Indy is not exactly a huge media market.
And Peyton has done pretty well for himself there. Just like Joe Montana did in K.C.
