But whats confusing is saying "Manning to a team”, to me, that implies a trade, particularly if the player is currently under contract. A major thing has to happen before Manning can freely sign with us or anyone else…. He has to get cut.

I guess is it certain that Manning is going to get cut? I never heard that? Can the Redskins talk to Manning before he’s released?

Then assuming hes cut Manning’s #1 choice is….. the Redskins????

So when Weinstein, who I deeply respect, says that Manning to the Redskins is likely, that sounds like trade to me…. Which scares me to death, btw.

I think what Weinstein means is, IF Manning gets cut THEN the Redskins will pursue him very hard. But whats lost to me is if hes implying there is any mutual interest whatsoever by Manning and Saturday? What he said implies, to me, there is mutual interest or that we would trade for him.
