Not sure where he implies trade there

Someone on this message board (who used to work with him) asked Bram about this and he said the Insider (who has nothing to do with the Redskins, just a general NFL insider) did not say anything about a trade. Just that if healthy and available, the Redskins would be very interested and the feeling may be mutual bc Peyton is a big Mike Shanahan fan, though the Redskins are probably not his first choice. They would likely only go after him if he's a FA, although in Bram's personal opinion the Colts would only trade Peyton. He doesn't think they'll just let him walk if he's healthy

Come on that definitely implies trade more so then anything else. Bram should have added in "if released" if thats what he meant.

Either way i dont see any team wanting to trade for him until he is payed his bonus in March. Once he gets paid his 28million bonus im sure a lot of teams would trade big for him, but the Colts wouldnt want to trade him. Unless there was a problem with his surgery I dont think he gets released, but I guess well know in March.
