how is anyone suppose to take the word of Peyton's former coach, who gave him a private workout, seriously?

Breaking News....Archie Manning said his son is 110%, better than before...no need to work him out.

Harbaugh and their OC said it was a very impressive workout.

According to the Denver Post, all three teams are willing to match the terms of Manning's previous contract with Indianapolis, a five-year deal worth $90 million. He was to receive $61.8 million through the first two years of that deal.

49ers don't need Manning. If they sign him I'll loose a lot of respect for the organization. Let Alex finish what he started.

So all three teams will give him huge money after checking him but he is not healthy?

The idiot strikes again.

Was talking about this with some coworkers, and we couldn't figure it out...

If they are willing to pay more than the Colts contract...then WHY didn't any of those teams contact the Colts with trade offers before he was released?

That way they only had to pay what he was owed...not more, and Colts get a late pick or something?

Makes no sense...

I thought he was untradable because of that money

So you would lose respect for the organization because they go out and sign a top 5 QB in an effort to win a SB?

You should be on your knees bowing down to any decision Harbaugh makes after what he did for your team last season.

-p.tiddy- · 03-17-2012, 11:26 AM

Peeps in here, like GoBB, even said teams would trade big picks for him...

But he was released because of that huge bonus...

Now supposedly teams will pay more than the bonus???...wtf???...where was the trade???

Carbine · 03-17-2012, 11:27 AM

We already know why they didn't trade him.

Peter King of Sports Illustrated reported during Football Night in America that Manning’s $28 million option bonus is due before the start of the 2012 league year. Since no trades can happen until after the 2012 league year begins, the Colts won’t be able to trade Manning before the $28 million comes due.

So therefor, the Colts would've had to paid the 28 million and THEN trade him. **** that.

That makes sense. To primetime it doesnt.

Anyway, we all know he's going to Miami because Brandon Marshall was traded to the Bears. Aint that right primetime?

Wait, we all know Manning isnt healthy and has a noodle arm. He's done. Even Manning knows that. Aint that right primetime?

Talk about swinging and missing.
