Free Agency starts in one week and Peyton is not yet ready to throw for teams. Some teams are considering other FA QB's. The agents for the other FA QB's aren't going to be sitting still waiting for the PM situation to develop. Some team will drop out and make a move for Matt Flynn.

Why is Manning not ready to throw for teams? From what I've heard, Peyton is throwing pretty good passes now - deep passes at that. While admittedly he's not 100%, there's no reason to believe he would not be 100% by training camp. I think what will force a lot of these teams out of contention for Peyton Manning will come down to money. Snyder can probably outbid almost any team, but it will also come down to where Manning wants to go.

Seems like most people think Miami would be the best place for Manning. I'll admit, I want him in Washington, but only if we also draft someone like Tannehill as well.
