Honestly, I'm leaning 70-30 that Manning is done as well but if he's not, here's why my scenario is plausible..
Arizona represents his best chance of getting back to the Super Bowl. They have a strong defense, a stud WR and a 1,200 yd back in Wells. They are really a QB away..
If they make that move, they can release Kolb (still having Skelton as a backup) before his $7 million roster bonus is due on the 5th day of the new league year..
The Browns aren't fully committed to replacing McCoy but Kolb improves competition and has a history in their offense, with the coach and GM. Also allows them to keep their 2 first round picks while improving at QB.
The Dolphins/Flynn match is too perfect. The Philbin connection is there, he knows the offense, the only downside is they still lack a 'face' of the franchise.
The only other team with a question at QB is Seattle.. It's a low profile team, moderate expectations and the perfect fit for Campbell-the only other starting QB on the market. He is an upgrade over Jackson and can stabilize their offense. Also, with Tom Cable there a level of comfort already exists with the offense.
No other team would be as motivated to move up into the top 5 for RGIII.
Sure it's a lot of 'what if' and is dependent on Manning being healthy but it could happen.
That being said, if Manning is healthy a likely pairing of Manning/Tannehill in DC is just as plausible if not more.
