Peyton Will Not Be a Colt

My best guess is that he retires

than i read a story on profootball talk saying they can push the 28 mill roster bonus back
i think the owner saying he will draft luck has made peytons decission for him you dont draft anybody first overall not to be your starter if anyone can find me an example of a team selecting 1st overall drafting a guy to ride the bench i will eat my words but i just dont remember this ever happening before if farve never would’ve threatend to retire Aaron Rodgers would probally be a redskin

Is a lot different than what he tells the media.
I find it rather pointless to try and gather inferences from media quotes – that’s like three different levels of misinterpretation: 1) What Manning chooses to tell the media; 2) How much of that, and in what context, the media chooses to portray his statements; and 3) How you interpret what the media has chosen to tell you.

two qb in the backend of their careers that arent the long term solution. I dont view OL as a big of a need as everyone seems to especially at the tackle position we definatley need new guards and a center. Peyton wont come cheap and we would likely have to pay more because we ar’nt a contender and then if he falls on his neck and doesnt get up were screwed again. I would rather get a short term guy like kyle orton to play a few games until the rookies ready but I would like to bring in grubbs and nicks

I just don`t see him signing for another team (to risky for teams to take a QB with a history of neck injuries) but stranger things have happened in the NFL.

I can honestly see Shanny signing Manning if he’s released and healthy to his liking (not that I would want that).

Get him Mike!

Can we for once, please realize we’ve been down this road before(just 2 years ago with McNabb), and it hasn’t worked. Do you guys think Peyton is going to want to come to a shitty team in the twightlight of his career? Unlike many other players in the NFL, it’s not about the money for Manning. This guy has made more in endorsements, than he’ll ever see on a football field, and if he hangs up the cleats, he could have a job with just about any network he wants as a media personality.

If Peyton is not in Indy this season, he won’t be playing. We need to stop with this Peyton to the Redskins shit.

It’s typical that every big name FA, like Peyton, is linked to the Redskins due to the past, but shouldn’t happen. Skins nation, please no more Peyton talk. Let him go to ARZ or NYJ.

of the teams on the speculation mill, we’re the only team with a relatively steady, well-respected coach and steady situation.

We’re in desperate need for a QB, and Shanahan must be cognizant of the fact that if he doesn’t start producing soon, his job could be in jeopardy which weighs against him trying to draft a rookie QB and develop him over 3-4 years.

both thought Manning in Washington would be a great idea. I don’t know if any of you hold these guys in any respect, but I thought it was telling. Mark knows Shanny very well, from his days in Denver. So, IF Manning is healthy, and he does want to come here, I may be persuaded…

It is not a structural injury–it is a nerve injury (something that I know a lot about)

“I’ll paraphrase Dr. Watkins, who operated on Peyton back in September. He said, ‘There is no potion, there is no medicine, there is no modality, there is no series of exercises, there is no test, and there is no surgery that can predict accurately when a nerve will regenerate.’ And that is the issue here. And from what I understand, at least about a month ago, progress was ongoing … But no one can know, when and if Peyton’s nerve that controls the tricep muscle will regenerate completely, and will regenerate enough for him to play. The hope of every doctor we talked to—and we talked to many—is that it will. The expectation is that it will. But when it will, no one can predict.”

This was from Bill Polian formally of the Indianapolis Colts
this is why they tried stems cells, to try and speed up the nerve regeneration… in other words to shorten it from years to months (I’m interested to see if it works)
