NFL Rumors: Could Peyton Manning End Up In The NFC West?

Peyton Manning's future looks murky. The Colts seem intent on moving on, and Manning himself sounds like he knows it's over in Indianapolis. Many expect him to be released before the Colts are on the hook for a $28 million bonus due in early March. There's the possibility that the St. Louis Rams could be seeing more of Manning in the near future.

Jason LaCanfora of the NFL Network reported on Tuesday that the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals could both be potential landing spots for Manning. This was the same report in which he cited sources who believe Washington will make an offer for the Rams' second pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.

Arizona would have to do some serious work to its offensive line, if the part about his likely destinations needing to have solid pass protection is true. But they do have a nice pairing in Larry Fitzgerald. Seattle's offensive line is pretty good thanks to a focus on that in recent drafts.

Trading down would give the Rams to really bolster their depth charts. If Manning does end up in the division, they damn well better think about their secondary.

I don't see him leaving Indy this season unless he is unable to play

I don’t think Indy will throw Luck to the wolves.

isn't it possible for them to save like 28mil

if they cut him?

MAN JEFF CANT GET AWAY FROM THIS DUDE
Came here to say that.. hahaha
He should just retire
Agreed.

No need to risk a debilitating injury to your neck. You’ve got a Superbowl ring, multiple MVP/pro bowl/all pro selections, a ton of QB records and millions upon millions of dollars and will be a first ballet HOFer. Just fucking retire man!

Yup, no need to risk a severe injury. He's accomplished plenty; but if Eli wins another ring, it'll probably make him come back and try for one more.

But I wouldn’t sign with a team that’s not in contention and just lacking the QB.

agreed!

one good hit…and its all she wrote for the $28 mil dollar man. retire dude….

Commercials

He can definently move on with his commercials cause his last one was F’ING HILARIOUS!!!!!!!

His skit on SNL when he's beaning those kids with the football.

Hilarious.

Agree on the retiring thing, but I really don't think he'd leave Indy.

Sure there’s problems there and he’s acknowledging there’s problems there, but he seems like the type of guy who’s embraced his community. Might be wrong but I don’t see him moving. Personally hope he retires though. One of the greatest, don’t wanna see him get paralyzed on the field.

I think manning could make a good coach

Unless your name is Sean Payton, it’s a pretty safe gig.

Have you guys read

this or heard about this?

Here’s another question, though: Is it possible that the Patriots did this on purpose? Did they have their scoreboard operator display the wrong down, to mess with Cundiff’s routine?

I wouldn’t put it past the Pats to cheat, then again I’m a Rams fan, not bitter at all…..

anythings possible with belicheat serg....

i would not doubt it one bit! josh mcdaniels make the call?…hmmmmmmm.

I wouldn't

put it past them. If they tape walkthroughs and mug receivers at the line until they’re told to stop, I wouldn’t put anything past Belicheck.

I don think hes retiring

If he has a full bill of health from the doc and he can play, I say play. Still a top 3 Qb in the league no matter if its in indy. I think he stays thought because he built that place. Plus he could be useful if Luck isn’t ready.

Chip Kelly

Didn’t sign with the bucs cause they got no mobile QB. Manning no mobile QB….I think hurry up offense starts to shine in 2012. Shotgun!!!! RG3 worth a Billion!!!! Mobile QB = trouble for Defenses. Can you say, Cam “the Rocket Man Neutron Bomb”?

Know who doesnt care if Peyton's in a halo for the rest of his life?

This guy!

There were rumors the Jets would pursue Peyton, but...

if Jerry Jones were smart, he’d dump Romo, draft a QB for the future and go after Peyton for a couple years. Another surprise team he would fit in with would be Houston if Schaub’s injury doesn’t heal that fast.

so I'm watching sports science

Gronkowski scored more TDs than the entire Rams team.
Wow we sucked. :(

In 2009, I think there were a couple of punters with more TDs...
Say what you want, but if Peyton is healthy, and plays for Seattle... That would be scary-bad guys!

The one thing missing from Seattle this last season was a leader at QB. Peyton can hit every corner of the field, so Baldwin and Tate would be scary too

I could live with it.

We’re not playoff ready anyways. Carroll and the Seahawks would just be doing the exact same thing that Whisenhunt and the Cards did with Warner. Sure they’d dominate for a year or two, but once Manning leaves the building, what happens? Maybe Derek Anderson will be available again in 2014?

Unless he gets a call from San Fran, NYJ, Baltimore or any other Super Bowl qualified team, I think any team would be crazy to set themselves up for failure 2 years down the road, since it seems to be inconceivable in today’s NFL to have an aging franchise QB while grooming his predecessor at the same time. Teams just cut players loose and move on.

What about Aaron Rodgers?

I’m not sure how much tutelage Farve provided but it worked out pretty good for Green Bay. I think that Irsay will talk to Manning and then cut him loose and draft Luck. Manning won’t make the 2-14 Colts a playoff contender, or will he?

hate to say it but months ago

i predicted that peyton would end up in the nfc west

seems like a no brainer

not there yet

but don’t be surprised

I got to 'I predicted....'

and knew it was you. Didn’t even finish reading it. Thanks for ruining your awesomeness for me

he still hasn't gone anywhere.

and again – fuck off.

you're never gonna get that 'cup of joe'

with language like that

Meh. At this point I just hate this guy.

Bet his name is Gaylord.

and i would still draft robin griffin

bradford has proven nothing

beaten 1 winning team in 2 years

and his fundamentals are horrid

is Robin Griffin RG3's mom?
Wants us to draft a QB that he doesn't even know who he is..
sure he does

he won the Hellman’s Trophy

Wasn't she on The Cosby Show?

The Huxtables’ next door neighbor?

Think that was robin givens lol
what round is Mel Kiper predicting her to go?
Number one

Way better than andrea luck

Peyton in the nfc west?

Hide yo wife hide yo kids!

i'm not kiddein --i'd draft the heisman winner

give bradford some competition

and let the best one play

honestly bradford has shown some potential

but only a limited amount

keep em both?

thats what you’re saying? I guess we’ll address WR, OL, DL, CB, LB, RB, ETC. starting at pick 33. Great idea! Anyone agree?

O yea lets do that

Don’t forget to turn off my x box when your done

so YOU don't think it's feasible

to keep both QB’s?!?! Because the way I see it, if RG3 is to outperform Bradford, we’ve got 70+ million sitting on the bench……..what’s the problem?

Depends

Can we create playrrs to fill out the rest of our franchisee mode?

That idea is the bees knees!
jswirb isn't kiddein", he wants Robin! He should be our GM after he gets his G.E.D.
Haha

did you get my email?

I'll check. BRB
Gave it a quick read. It's very good, but a few titches. I'll do a pass edit in the morning.
Cool. Sounds good.
hey douglas if you are sold on sam ----your kidding your self

and G.E.D. is that something i get after i got my masters

then you did it backwards

I also went to pre-school after high school. And when you were getting that masters, did they teach you difference between ‘your’ and ’you’re’, or ‘your self’ and ‘yourself’? Clearly, they did not

Your so humorous in you're comments
I moved to the south so I could get by with just 'yerself'
come on DC, you know that they tell people fake things when they're in the loony bin

be nicer to the clinically insane here on TST

This just might be your most absurd contribution yet.

Please, enlighten us with some credentials. We can wait while you copy something from the internet.

true story:

I might get my G.E.D.

Good luck and congrtulations
Not sure if you're being serious

but if you are, thank you. I’m only considering doing it because I exactly been the type of student I can be, and at this point, with my ACT scores and a G.E.D. I can get into the same colleges that I would get into if I just stayed in school through my graduating year (2013).

Yeah, I'm serious

I’m all for people improving themselves. I’m 52 and still go to college sometimes. I get a feeling of satisfaction from it even if I’m not educating myself for a new career.

Keep up the good work and go to college.

Gracias

I’m kinda worried that I put that on here, because I don’t want people questioning my intelligence (as some of my friends have) because of the whole G.E.D. thing. I figure if I can get started in college (I’ll likely be going to the same college I would have gone to upon graduation, Ohio University) early, then that will be better for me than sitting in a school that I don’t like for the next year and a half. Not that you care lol I’m just explaining my reasoning behind this decision so other people on here don’t think less of my opinions or anything.

I almost thought of going to Ohio university because of their great sport management program

but Illinois has a great one and I love the Illini. Here’s to hoping you get in and don’t worry what others think about your intelligence. Laugh when you get that degree buddy!!

Thanks Brandon

that actually means a lot, I appreciate it.

You have always had my respect. Get the G.E.D. and go straight to college. No pause, no I need abreak

For most, getting a G.E.D. is more about circumstance than it is intellect. I know quite a few folks that have their G.E.D. and they are wicked smart!
If you want me to the essay portion for you, let me know! lol

Thanks Doug!

Feel free to do my essay too lol

you must be joking

We can trade those picks to washington and get carriker back. sign moss and owens and we’re back in the SB.

we did draft a heisman winner

PUPPY BOWL!!

Well that's the best thing I've seen all day.
Hamsters piloting a blimp, puppy cam and chicken cheerleaders

absolute awesomeness.

Miami

A lot of talk about Peyton today, earlier reports today have said that Miami had their sights set on Peyton! I just guess that this will be one of the hottest topics until the Colts make an announcement.

that's pretty far away from STL

but I think we play AFC East next year?

Oh God, not Seattle

He is exactly what they need. A Hasslebeck type of QB…..Whoops….should have resigned old Matty! Didn’t want to pay him during rebuilding, so now you pay Manning??? Well, we didn’t know we would be this good….And theys gots to resign Lynch….He is the best catch in FA this year….next to Vin Jax or Colston.

Is it wierd?....

That I feel disgusted about the things that SF fans tweeted to Kyle Williams but want to say the same thing to jswirb? I fucking hate that guy. And Mr . Education…please explain to me how you attained a masters degree when you can’t spell masters….or degree?

well I wouldn't put a death threat out

but I’d tell him to get off TST, STAT.

Peyton to Fitz?

I don’t want to think of that at all.

I am not sure why they are not talking about San Fran being a home for Peyton.

It is obvious that Alex Smith is not the QB to lead this team to any great success, and the Niners have their QB of the future [supposedly] in Kaepernick, so “renting” Peyton for a year or two could be huge for them.
Manning does not need outstanding WRs and will make the mediocre SF O Line look a lot better than it is.

Perhaps they don’t have the space in their CAP for him.

ive figured out who jswirb is guys..

the ghosts of linehan and zygmut suggesting ways to further jack up our team for years to come!
