higgybaby Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Tom Marquis who hosts a local radio show on the internet has posed the question,"Is it possible that the Redskins will go after Peyton Manning?" Has anybody else heard about this? http://www.facebook.com/tmarquis/posts/10150236248405216?notif_t=feed_comment_reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheesh!! thats just plain insane. not to say manning would take the money and come to washington over the colts, but if he was willing to sign in washington you move heaven and earth to do so. Manning would give the redskins something that they have not had or deserved in some time, instant creditability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKM311 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 No. I do not want him. But I will say, imagine if he did become a FA (no way it happens). This NFL free agency period would be something we would never ever see again. It wouldn't be about the Skins. But the chaos the media would have with it.

DGREENHULK Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Manning if we did sign him wouldn't see the field in year 1 anyway....remember he would have to hold the clipboard for Beck until he is ready to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manning would give the redskins something that they have not had or deserved in some time, instant creditability. We said the samething about McNabb last year. And look at how that turned out. Not to say that Manning isn't better than McNabb, but again, he would demand too much money - money that can be used to fill these other critical holes. If he's willing to play for a modest salary, fine, i'm with it, but we know that will not be the case. Irsay already stated that he's willing to make him the richest player in the history of the league....Thanks, but no thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hail-to-da-skins-21 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 The Boston Herald reports the NFLPA executive committee will not recommend any special considerations for the 10 plaintiffs in the Brady v. NFL antitrust settlement. Realizing it would be too "cumbersome" to satisfy individual demands, the NFLPA's decision came with "far less wrangling and horse trading behind the scenes" than recent reports suggested. The upshot is that Peyton Manning and Drew Brees will not be exempt from the franchise tag going forward. Logan Mankins and Vincent Jackson will not be granted free agency, nor a $10 million payout.

jflow78 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 I just want to remind everyone, Peyton Manning is 35 this year. No way would I want to sign him. Sorry, five years ago sure, but not now. I'd rather sign some youth and OL. If you thought watching Brett Favre in Minny was painful last year, it would be a LOT worse with Manning behind our OL minus Favres ability to run (as bad as it was at 40, he was still able to tuck the ball and run better than Manning has ever been able to). Manning doesn't have a death wish, he won't be signing here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RabidFan Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Peyton leaving the Colts is about as believable as Clemens never using roids or Pauly Shore winning an Oscar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindlywewander Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Peyton leaving the Colts is about as believable as Clemens never using roids or Pauly Shore winning an Oscar. Might be the best regular season quarterback ever, but not the best idea for him to come here. He's staying in Indy, as he should. Even trying to bring him in would be a step in the opposite direction towards our rebuild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiro Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Hypothetically, even if Peyton were a free agent at this point in his career, this would be the wrong place for him to go. He'd need to go to a team that has plenty of offensive talent, and is really only missing a QB to be a member of the elite teams. Teams like Arizona, Minnesota, Miami and San Francisco come to mind instantly. If that did happen though, that Colts team would fall apart. Everything, and I mean everything, in that organization is tied to Peyton. The style of defense, the coaching staff, the offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laron Burgundy Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Wow, how is this ever even asked? Maybe in another 6 years we'll be in the running to sign Peyton, but he's a long way from being done in Indy. You NEVER let go of a franchise qb unless you have a damn good one on the bench, can anyone even name Indy's #2 qb? I bet most indy fans can't even do that.

And Peyton is 35....I really hope the Skins don't sign him in another 6 years. But your point stands, Indy has built their entire team around him, so if he ever hits the market, it's a safe bet he's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwampEm Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 There are reports that Manning won't be ready for camp anyway. There is no way that he could master our offense and prep for a conditioning test at the same time. http://www.indystar.com/article/20110720/SPORTS03/107200350/Kravitz-Injury-rehab-will-keep-Manning-camp-sideline-?odyssey=mod|newswell|text|Fever|p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
