Colts Officially Release Peyton Manning (QB Thread #11)

[Monkeydad]

Before, when Peyton's arm looked like it was a noodle, I did not want the Skins to pursue him.

Looks like he's back to normal now, so I expect the Skins to make a run at him with RG3 as the backup plan. I think I'd rather have RG3 because of the longer-term value but I think the team will try to get Manning. If they do get him, I'll still be thrilled, we have not had a real QB since Mark Rypien 20 years ago.

In the end, I think he'll go to Miami or Arizona to play in a warmer place for his neck and possibly extending his career a year or two. There are no other dome teams really in the mix so I think climate will play a role in his decision.

Rex Ryan will ensure the Jets and their dysfunctional team are out.

Seattle's rain and cold, plus lack of talent outside Lynch and Rice will eliminate them.


I think it's between the Phins and Cards with the Skins' offer being the wild card.
