I think it'll be one of these teams: Dolphins, Jets, Texans, Titans (wouldnt that be fun?)
Not sure he'd go to the Redskins but who knows.
One thing for sure, the Redskins have a ton of cap room to sign him, and bring along a few of his buddies if that's what they need to seal the deal. As our Washington visitor said, it's going to depend on how much say Shanahan has in the matter. If he's committed to building long term, as are the Browns, Manning winds up somewhere else.

I hope he goes to the NFC, because wherever he goes, he's going to win.

I know this will probably sound Retarded . But the best thing for Peyton to happen is for the Cardinals to dump Whisenchuck and his egomaniacal personality and hire Peytons OC from tenn thats coaching at Duke. Then let them run the show.

I understand that Manning and Whisenhut are actually quite close...and that is why the Cardinals may be a prime player for Peyton.

I think the main reason he wouldn't come here is because we don't have enough pieces in play to seriously contend. He would make us a legitimate threat over night for the playoffs but that doesn't mean we would even make the playoffs. I think whoever gets him is going to be thrilled because I think Manning is going to take this personal and prove all the naysayers wrong.

I normally don't give a shit about players on other teams, but today saddens me. Peyton Manning in his prime was a thing of beauty to watch. It's sad to see him part ways with the Colts.

Yea i feel ya on that. Pretty much just watched the guy get shitcanned on national television. U gotta give Payton some credit tho, he handled it as professional as a guy can. I woulda gave Irsay a big F-U, sayin money had nothin to do with it. Money was prolly 95% the reason Payton is unemployed right now.

I love how the reations among fans between the Manning situation and the Lebron situation are the polar opposites of eachother.

Manning got cut. Lebron left as a free agent. You aren't going to see the folks in Indy burning his jersey on the street. You might get the drinking and tears though.

Meaningless Gripe:
PEYTON is Hillis, our Hillis, at least for another week.
I know, Manning had it "first" and is the HOF star, yet for Browns Board purposes he is MANNING. Eli is Eli, just to clarify.

OK, so what IS the proper spelling of their names.....Is it Payton, or Peyton?
....OK, upon further review BOTH Hillis and Manning spell their name with an E, ie. Peyton.

One has class, the other is a complete ass. If LeBron would have handled the situation the way Manning did, things would be ALOT different.

And Choco you make me laugh sometimes
you just make me shake my head. so gullible. i suppose you watched his video and now think he's just fine and will be the peyton we all come to know and respect. other people realize that was a heavily edited promotional video made to put pressure on irsay...
so the great prognosticator thinks manning can go to a new team and instantly turn them around? you also believed we'd go 11-5 last year (oh yeah, it was a joke, right?). its a better bet to put money down on the opposite of whatever you say....

Peyton Manning is now the most highly sought after nfl free agent in history i don't need to argue why. Yes he will do good on any fucking team in the NFL all 32. A Proven Captain period. You are a fucking joke to dismiss his entire career and skillset.
In Cleveland failure is an artform. -
Just to throw another crazy possibility out there. Drew Brees is in a contract dispute with the Saints. New Orleans is Payton Mannings hometown. Payton's only two years older...... Hey crazier things have happened

Brees got tagged and he's not happy about it. That's where the dispute comes from. That would be a ridonkulous story though.

I love how the reactions among fans between the Manning situation and the Lebron situation are the polar opposites of each other.
1) LeBum wasn't 35 years old coming off of say an ACL tear, and had already won a Championship for the Cavs. You didn't hear a peep from Cleveland fans when Ilgauskas went ring chasing in his last year, and I doubt there was much outcry in Salt Lake City when Karl Malone did the same.
2) A better analogy would be to assume Larry Bird (French Lick Indiana) had played for the Pacers, not the Celtics. After his rookie contract was up Larry Legend said "adios, I'm taking my talents to LA to play with Magic, gonna win 7-8 championships." You think the folks in Indy wouldn't have been seriously pissed?

lmao...
you realize limited mobility in his neck is gonna impact his ability to scan and see the field, right? do you even know what fused vertebrae are? watch him turn his body when talking at the press conference...youre a fool if you think he's gonna be the old manning.

Exactly...
He has more of a chance to have a terrible season than he does a great one. He'll be learning a new offense, new players, timing, shaking off rust, and coming back from a FREAKING BONE FUSION IN HIS NECK!
Yes, he was one of the greatest of the current NFL era.

Bill Polian brought up an interesting point yesterday. He mentioned he fact that Peyton is obsessed with offensive football. He studies offenses that aren't his own. He's been known to pull coaches for hours long chalk/film talks at the Pro Bowl between practices, just to get a deeper understanding of how these offenses tick.
Bill asserted that aside from the terminology, which would take Manning about a day and a half to master, that Manning could execute an entire WCO gameplan right now. And, he'd love it... The way a 12 year old attacks a new video game. It's just the way he's wired.
That said, he's not coming to Cleveland. But his options are wide open.
-jj

Yeah, I agree Peyton could take over the WCO, he'd be changing plays at the line and shit, it would be awesome.
But that would ruin the fun of the Holmgren, Shurmur and Chili science project ... they want to develop someone in their system ... hot have someone better than them take it over.
Zombo
Aside from that, Manning I am sure wants to go somewhere where nearly all the pieces are in place to compete for a title....all but the QB.
And based on everything I have been hearing and reading that place is probably, in this order:
1. Miami. Top receiver in Brandon Marshall, plus Reggie Wayne who is from Miami could come in as a #2 receiver in a package deal. Quality pass catching/rushing RB in Reggie Bush. One of the best LTs in the game with Jake Long. Plus a defense that is probably better than any he ever had in Indy.
2. Arizona. They have the receiver in place, plus they seem to more flexible with their offensive system. They would certainly be a challanger in that division with Manning there. If Beanie Wells can stay healthy they have the RB. Plus I understand that Peyton and Whisenhunt are tight.
3. Seattle. They would need to bring Reggie Wayne in with Manning to bolster their receiving corps, but with him and Sidney Rice that could be a decent group. They have the RB with Beast Mode Marshawn Lynch....sort of an updated Edgerrin James. They have a decent young OL.
The defense I am not sure of.
The other reason these 3 would be more attractive to Manning?: Domes or good weather. I heard where Manning is barely over .500 in November, Dec., and Jan. in away non-dome games.

We could just try to entice Manning to come here.
Sign a big name WR (or whichever one he wants) continue to add to our already solid D in FA then draft him some weapons
I mean, it'll never happen, and probably isn't even that smart, but it'd still be cool to watch Manning play in a Browns uni

Heckert: Browns won't chase Peyton Manning
By Marc Sessler NFL.com
The pipe dream that was Peyton Manning-to-the-Browns is over before it began. Cleveland general manager Tom Heckert, on the mend from heart surgery, dismissed the idea of entering the chase for the ex-Colts quarterback, now a free agent.
"That's probably not a direction we're going to go," Heckert told The Plain Dealer on Thursday, hammering home the reality that the Browns are unlikely to sign a big-name free-agent quarterback this offseason.
It's unlikely Manning was intrigued by the thought of playing for an under-construction Browns team with a distinct lack of weapons on offense, but what about Baylor's Robert Griffin III?
RG3's on Cleveland's radar, but Heckert clarified that the Baylor quarterback isn't the only passer the Browns find intriguing in next month's draft.
The GM "gushed about" Oklahoma State's Brandon Weedon, and added him to a list of four quarterbacks the Browns favor, including Stanford's Andrew Luck, Griffin and Texas A&M's Ryan Tannehill.
"I really like (Weedon) a lot," Heckert said. "We're going to see him (throw) tomorrow (at his Pro Day). He's mature and he's telling you it's a positive. He's a really interesting guy. He's super smart."
Lost in all of this is Colt McCoy, the gritty if underwhelming starter who soldiered through a trying 2011 season with the Browns.
"We still think Colt can play in this league and it's our job to help him out," Heckert said, adding that McCoy could see major improvement, "If we catch more balls, if we protect him more."
Browns fans will agree: Two phases of the game in short supply in Cleveland for far too long.
