  • Here is a scenario that I heard speculated on on the radio the other day:

    A. After the bye week......Haslam appoints Peyton Manning as Director of Football Operations

    B. Immediately thereafter, and before the trade deadline, Peyton engineers a trade with the 1-6 NY Giants to bring QB Eli Manning to become the QB of the Cleveland Browns.

    C. With Eli on board....his contract runs another couple of years, Peyton  investigates which young QB that will come along should be brought in here via the draft or otherwise, and Peyton and Eli groom this young QB to take over for Eli. 

    D.  They bring Archie Manning on board also, unofficially to help with this selection process.

    The Mannings have a substantial history with bringing along young QBs through their Quarterback Academy.  I mean, really, who would be better than these guys to evaluate quarterback potential?  Then you ask....what about the other 21 positions?  They would obviously still have a full scouting staff on hand for that....and Peyton would not be "GM", but DFO.

    Only if your name is Jimmy Haslam do you have the right to say no.

    And as far as I can discern, I believe JH is itching at the chance to enter into some kind of association with the Mannings, at least Peyton.

  • Manning Academy is a first class operation and most of the best go there. Brother Cooper is also part of it I believe.

  • What will all y'all give me if this completely out there scenario would actually come to pass?

    Gipper is saying that Peyton would be in charge.

    BEING A BROWNS FAN IS A TEST TO SEE HOW MUCH YOU CAN TAKE

  • No manning is coming to cleveland

  • All this Manning cowpoop is almost as bad as the Josh Gordon garbage that is going around. Neither is coming to or going to play for the Browns, And neither of them would want to come to this 3 ring circus. We just have to keep looking. Jimmy really thinks he is going to find a guy with no nfl head coach exp and is going to make us winners. sigh.

    A- OK, B,C,D ain't happening. 

    Just no Gip- was that Goldhammer speculating? Eli is about as washed up as a beached whale. We coulda kept Josh McCown if you want a mentor. Hells bells, did the radio talking head even bother to look at Eli's contract? http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/new-york-giants/eli-manning-4348/  he's not worth 1\2 of that- seriously. Oh, I'm sure the Giants would be more than happy to unload his GIANT $22 million contract- for say the extra 6th round pick we stole from the Steelers for Justin Gilbert.
