Re: The "Inside Word" on the QB Search
Seems that old Mel even believes we will be in play for Peyton if he's cut and healthy.

if the colts shop payton manning what type of market is there for him and could they get a 1st round pick for him?
Mel Kiper-
He's going to be free. It seems like they're going to keep him or cut him loose. If they cut him loose then it looks like Washington might be a team to make a big play after him. But he's coming off a big injury. There is some risk there. He's been in the league since 1998 and he's coming off a big neck injury.

What's your best guess as to how Washington will approach fixing the QB position?
Mel Kiper-
Peyton Manning is the big option. You keep hearing they make a push for him. Mike Shanahan can't afford to misfire on another QB. His evaluation of QBs has been shaky. They went out to get McNabb. He gave the job to Rex Grossman. They went with John Beck. That all didn't work. Do they go after Matt Flynn? They might not go after him. RGIII in the draft is someone they'd have to move up to get. AFter him, there's no one else to go get. Mike Shanahan needs to start winning some games.

This would be the perfect scenario.
1) Sign Peyton Manning to 3 year contract.
2) Draft Justin Blackmon in the 1st round.
3) Draft Foles (or Tannehill if he's available) in the 2nd round
I would do back flips over this scenario.
