Colts Officially Release Peyton Manning (QB Thread #11)

[redskins forever]

oh and by the way defense wins tom brady is a system quaterback they went 11-5 with matt cassell so dont tell me about tom brady he is another emmit smith adverage player on a great team

[mredskins]

I heard this rumor/speculation this morning from a guy I know:

Rumor is Peyton signs with the Texans….Schaub traded to Skins for Orakpo and picks. Schaub reunited with Kyle S. Mario Williams signs with Skins.



I find it hard to beleive becasue seems like to many things have to fall into place, plus why would Houston part with Schaub he is a perfect fit there.

Shaub for Orakpo and picks?
pfffffftttttttt
That would be stupid.

Which was it? Rumor, or speculation?

After some water cooler arm twisting; it is now speculation.

My understanding is that he can be signed as soon as he is cut (today), correct?

We need to make this happen.

Doesn't he become a free agent then has to wait for free agency to begin? I have no idea that was just my understanding.

But he is a free agent because he is being cut, not because his contract is expiring. I think that is different, but I could be wrong.

1. Cardinals (Most likely:Indoor stadium, warm weather good for getting loose, L. Fitz, has a history of bringing in vet QB's like K. Warner, went 8-8 last year with pathetic QB play)
2. Dolphins (Likely: Owner wants a big name, has a good defense/WR's in place)
3. Seahawks (Maybe likely: Rumored to be willing to put a big package together)
4. Redskins (Possible: Maybe interested but still has equal interest in drafting RG3)
5. Chiefs (Less likely:Has a need at QB and some pieces to put around Manning)
6. Jets (Unlikely:Tough salary cap number, would overshadow 'lil bro, would have to cut Sanchez to sign Manning)

Interesting note by Rich Cimini that the Jets could save $9 million by cutting Sanchez this offseason (before March 28 I believe).

Anyhow, suppose he went to one of those other teams and suddenly Orton, Kolb, or Sanchez are on the market....who do you want?

Orton is serviceable as a short term starter or backup.

I think it's still way too early to toss in the towel on Kolb, I bet he would attract some attention if he hit the market.

Sanchez I'd want no part of.

I'm tempted to flip the opinion of Sanchez and Kolb there

What if I throw in Schaub and Alex Smith?
