[12thMan]

I just heard an interesting unconfirmed rumor -- if he does play, Miami within 10 days.

If he does play? Still thinking he retires?

Yeah, that's just my own opinion though. I think he will.

But that's not to say he won't get second thoughts. I'm not saying he would retire and then come back. But think about he just spent 14 years with the same team and maybe he'd like to go out as a Colt.

I don't think he knows exactly what he's going to do at this very moment. I can imagine everything's like a fog right now. That was a very emotional presser.

he is probably talking to teams right now. i think he will have his new team picked out next week as free agency starts.

Seems to me like any team that wants him would want to have him signed by the start of FA, or atleast a confident expectation of how his number will affect their cap status. And from PM's point of view, I think he will want his new team to be getting the pieces in place from start of FA. So it seems to me like this deal should be one that gets done before next Tuesday.

Against that, PM said he hasn't looked that way yet (which I truly doubt), and if that's the case, I am sure he is going to do a lot of diligent research to make sure he goes to the situation he wants.
