slackermike Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Daniel Snyder might want Peyton Manning, but that doesn't mean he can have him. The Redskins are on the hunt for a quarterback, and a healthy Manning represents the best option on the free-agent market since, well, ever. It makes sense why Snyder, the Redskins' free-spending owner, would want him badly. But according to Chris Russell, the Redskins beat reporter for ESPN 980-AM, it's not happening. “A couple of different sources inside the organization have told me that Manning’s camp made it pretty clear to Redskins officials he doesn’t want to come here,” Russell said Thursday on ESPN's "SportsCenter," (via ProFootball.com). "… There’s lots of reasons for that. His brother Eli, the colder weather, the whole situation down in Miami and so on and so forth. But unless that changes -- and I’m taking my sources at their word -- I don’t think Manning’s coming here to D.C.” http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d82777dfb/article/report-redskins-already-out-on-peyton-manning-chase?module=HP11_hot_topics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFISkins Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 What? I bet nothing makes Snyder more angry than hearing the word: "No". If this is true, it is a tad bit unprofessional for Manning's camp and will turn the Redskins Nation against him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Tired of seeing "Daniel Snyder wants" coming from reporters and media. I sick and tired of them not getting the memo that he no longer is in charge of his X-Box and "Madden Controllers." ShanAllen are in charge of getting the players, not Danny Boy.

terpskins10 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 What? I bet nothing makes Snyder more angry than hearing the word: "No". If this is true, it is a tad bit unprofessional for Manning's camp and will turn the Redskins Nation against him. How is it unprofessional to let a team know he isn't interested right away so they don't waste time and resources going after him? If you got a job somewhere you had no intention of working, wouldn't the right thing be to let them know right away? If anything, he's being MORE professional than most free agents out there.

If this is true, it is a tad bit unprofessional for Manning's camp and will turn the Redskins Nation against him. It is more professional than stringing us along for the sake of raising his price tag. He let us know so we are free to pursue other options Edit: ^ beat me to it ha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veretax Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 How do you know this isn't a smoke screen so people think we aren't really going after him when we are? The fact this report is posted so quickly? I'm sorry, I'm not buying. Until we hear it from Manning himself, or his agent on TV or live radio. It's all cigars in a smoke field room.

The Rook Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Dan Hanzus needs to learn his phrasing. Being "out on a chase" is a lot different than "out of a chase". What a goof ball. :helmet: The Rook Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjfootballer Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 And I doubt Snyder is "angry". Jeez, the way they paint a picture of the guy, he should be down on the floor of his office kicking and screaming, "why, why, why? Nobody likes me." Stupid media.

acuratl1984 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Not a surprise. We're a perennial last place team. My guess is Miami. Umm I don't see a difference between the first part of your sentence and the last part... Dolphins has been either 3rd or 4th in their division for a few years now... Manning would change that... Same thing for us, it's probably more the fax that he doesn't want to play against his brother twice, and he wants to play in the AFC so there could be a possibility of a Manning Bowl. In terms of Redskins and the Dolphin, I maybe a homer when I say this, but he has a better chance of winning it here with us then Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missin Meast Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Never thought it was realistic that Peyton ever wanted to play here. Arizona, Jets, and Denver have always been the logical choices to me. Of course, adding Miami into the mix, although I don't see whats soo appealing about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U C S D SkinsFan Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 not a surprise...people close to him like Dungy/Faulk have already stated he doesn't want to be in Eli's division...they said he might not even wanna be in the NFC..whatever, this is a good thing for us anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acuratl1984 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 If Jets get Manning for New York with Eli, could we get Sanchez for our team? If they release him... or a late round pick trade. Otherwise just roll for RG3. I always thought he was over rated + over drafted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sick and tired of them not getting the memo that he no longer is in charge of his X-Box and "Madden Controllers." ShanAllen are in charge of getting the players, not Danny Boy. Totally agree. The joke has been played out for a while now. I also get the feeling we never really wanted Manning. We all know we would be mocked and laughed at if we brought in another veteran player that comes here to get paid and fizzes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Edds Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'm glad to hear this ... I'm just hoping that he goes to Miami and that CLE decides to bring in Flynn. Though my gut tells me CLE really does want RG3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
