Latest Peyton Manning Rumors For Every NFL Team

By my estimation, the Dolphins are in first place, the 49ers are out of the running, Cards are very unlikely, and the Redskins are a mixed bag.

The Redskins are about $30 million under the salary cap, so they definitely have cash to throw Manning’s way. But how attractive a destination is Washington?

Joe Gibbs on Peyton Manning and the Redskins - DC Sports Bog - The Washington Post
" Here’s the deal, I think he would be a fit with anybody," Gibbs said. "But here’s what I think — this is just my advice, I’m the fan now — I think what you need to install with him is just what he did in Indy. It needs to be that offense. "I think if somebody takes him and tries to put him in a West Coast offense, throwing this or throwing that, I think the scheme that they had fit him to a T. They say he was there for hours and hours and hours with the coaches. And basically what it was, he would audible out of those packages. I guess my point, whoever gets him, you’re gonna get a great player. He can play anywhere. But I think it would be to that team’s advantage to make sure they’re putting in that same offense."

Theismann: Peyton to Redskins "a horrific idea"
"It’s not a good idea, it’s not a bad idea -- it’s a horrific idea. "It would be one of the poorest things that we could do as a franchise. Are we gonna go find another guy for just a couple of years again? Haven’t we done this before? Haven’t we seen this act before? And by the way, if you get Peyton Manning, don’t you have a concern about protecting him? Don’t you have a concern about who he throws the football to?"
