Well isn't that just a cold slap to the groin?

Nice. Well surely Peyton will feel loved and supported in Indy now.

Didn't you guys see this coming? There are obviously too many fans slobbing on the knob. It had "Rob Lowe" written all over it. I want no part of the Manning show. Yeah, he's a hall of famer but, so was Bruce Smith, Deion Sanders, and Jason Taylor. Skins need to draft their own franchise players and continue to improve the core of the team. As lustrious as Peyton's career is, he's only won the big game once. If Dungy wasn't a part of that, Peyton would still be chasing the hardware. The Skins will not be any more competitive for a championship with Manning on board. And yes, the team won't have to sacrifice draft picks to aquire Manning but, think of how much salary cap he will eat up prohibiting more talent to be signed or re-signed. And the team would have to deal with this for the next few years because you know Manning's contract will be front loaded...

You sure about that? What if there's several teams out there that want his services? ...which I'm sure there will be.

Well if he's a free agent, it will take money (and maybe something else) but not draft picks

Wasn't it one of the team doctors that medically cleared him to play?

Irsay should really stop tweeting.

That doesn't even make sense might as well keep rex

Man...Irsay is a fool, the way he is handling this. He needs to learn to keep his Yap shut.

Can't help himself - "wants to keep this stuff inhouse", yea right!

The release of that DR stuff means he can't say he's cutting Manning because he cares about his health.

Que the Peyton Place music...

its so funny to see how this franchise was always so stable, so calm, well controlled and then the starting QB goes down and the whole organization is gone and the quiet owner now has a big mouth that he can't seem to contain/control, this franchise went from looking like a Green Bay/NE/Pittsburgh type of franchise to the Dallas Cowboys/Oakland Raiders just like that.

Just shows you important a QB is...

Yeah he wants to be some rock star owner and it's getting old

I'm w/Diehard, would rather see us draft some qb's, too much can go wrong w/Manning & there's little future payoff.

Last night on espn radio Doug Gottlieb asked Dilfer where Peyton had the best chance of winning. Denver was mentioned, also Arizona. I actually think that IF he were back to full health & regained form, from his persepctive the Skins give him as much of a chance at winning in the next 2 years as anyone else that needs a qb.

That's a big IF and I think its not in the best interests of the team to pursue him, but I can see why he & his agent could look this way, and not for $ reasons. This is a team hopefully on the rise w/a strong staff & solid foundation.

I can't believe no one has mentioned Dallas in connection with PM.

Talk about a team with talent who really could be that one elite QB piece away from contending or winning a SB.
