    1) I don't see why Manning would go FO first before making the insanely easy lateral move to OC. Heck I think Manning would make an amazing DC because let's face it, he knows defense's inside and out. Which would kind of make him a prime target for HC.

    2) Anyone that thinks he would come to Cleveland just cause of ole Jimmeh is fooling.

    3) enough of this BS.

    He's also already said that he wants to play in 2016

    Unless he is having a robotic throwing arm installed the dude is done. He has zero zip on the ball and looks terrible out there this year.

    Gotta really wonder considering the writer

    Lazy journalism. Same story for about two years now, ever since Jimmy bought the team. There's nothing new here, just more speculation.

    I expect Peyton Manning to be working for one of the TV networks next year as an analyst.

    But we'd get to see a whole lot more of "the pistol"...

    Strikes me as a proud man who does not want to remembered for his 2015 performance. Someone may give him the chance to erase it, but I hope it's not us.

    As for FO roles... can't see anyone handing him the GM title. What indication is there that he can run an organization? Evaluate talent?

    MKC heard from a guy who is friends with a guy who said that Peyton could definitely run an organization.

    Manning would never take an OC or HC position- too much work. He's financially set for life, so why in the hell would he want to put in 12-18 hours days coaching? Broadcasting would be way less stress, and he has a pretty good speaking voice.

    Da foot may say otherwise. Plantar fascitis can be real lingering- the older you get, the slower you heal.

    If Manning takes an objective look at his performance to date- he should know he's a shadow of what he was.

    One thing Manning could do in the FO- and that's tell if his OC is worth anything.

    Ha!......

    Oh.....and it looks like you got a lil dirt on your lip.... 😉

    Not sure if Manning is smart enough to just jump into a GM's role....but he should be smart enough to retire....

    Jared made a pretty good living pushing SubWay until he decided he liked young girls better.

    Manning's mentor & QB coach David Cutcliff at Duke says Peyton may not be done till he hears different from Peyton. He will have Manning at Duke at seasons end to help his student in any way possible. Cutcliff stated in the radio interview "that Peyton has a heart of a college student & that maybe his first steps back into football". Hello Rocky Top imo but he could go executive first..

    I agree with the first statement. Why would he want to put in that kind of work? Front office work is still a lot of hours but it's a whole nother deal. The 2nd....I'm sure it will take a bit to heal...but shit..he was never very fast to begin with..
