Sign Peyton Manning

Since he's going to be released, why not have him as the QB? I'm sure he'd be grateful to play for his hometown team, in a system that matches his abilities.

Hell, makes everyone in the organization bolt upright and alert! (ahem, that means you, Drew...)

How wild of a ride that would be. Oh how this has become the craziest of season. I hate it

If I was Loomis......

You're darn right I would bring him in. If Drew wants to fiddle fart around with 5 million... I would do it out of spite.

SIGN THE DADBURN CONTRACT DREW!

If we don't pay up to keep Drew I doubt Tom Condon would do make it easy for us to sign Manning.
He would demand the same sort of money IMO.

no way Peyton would be able to get that kind of money, coming off numerous surgeries this past year...

lee909 · 03-07-2012, 10:24 AM

I don't think he would anywhere else but I could see Condon making life difficult unless Manning got involved himself.

I am on the fence with this one but I say no.

We'd have the same problem with Manning as Drew. Money is going to be a lot and we tagged Drew to save some money so far.

Both players have 2-3 years left max I figure. I keep Drew tag him another year and then ask him to retire so we can move on.

We tagged Drew but he has not signed anything...big difference. Keep all options open. Bringing in Peyton could send a clear message to Drew's agent; We'll pay Drew but you are going to have to bend.

Peyton's agent is the same as Drew's agent.
Condon would basically say "okay, so you have both of my QBs, who we both know are worth the same amount, write up the contract I already asked for and you can pick whichever one you want."

There is absolutely 0 chance that Peyton will get the kind of money that Drew will get this year; not with 4+ neck surgeries and his health in doubt...
