Could see it coming, total rebuild mode.

He should retire, nothing to prove ,lots to lose like feeling in his limbs.

Be cool to see him playing for the Jets though since everyone realizes Sanchez has plateaued and is not getting any better.

He needs to hang up the cleats.

He should call it a career and move to the broadcast booth or something, QB coach on a team.

One wrong hit and he’s going to be eating his steak through a straw.

Too much to lose, little more to gain.

You got that right. Haven’t paid attention to it in years.

“””The Colts passed on a $28 million bonus owed to Manning and opted not to pick up the remaining four years on a $90 million contract he signed last July when the NFL lockout ended.”””””

He must really want to play the game, because he could be a tv commentator or coach pretty much anywhere he wanted.

Like Jim Harbaugh he’d progress to NFL head coach in a very few years.

Of course those jobs don’t pay the $20 mil plus he’s getting as a player. But they don’t have 250 lb guys crashing you at 18 mph.

Agreed. Peyton need look no further than his brother Cooper for an example of how to handle this.

"He will spend his 15th NFL season on another team."

If he is healthy and able to play he would look splendid wearing Brown and Orange...

For everybody hoping he’ll go to your team remember he’s old and spent his entire career in a dome. He’s probably not going to want to finish outdoors, especially in the snow belt. I predict AZ, they’ve proven they can do well with a good QB and not much else, nice and warm during the winter, play in a dome, in a division with another dome, and it’s in keeping with the Bidwill method (why build a good team when you can just get a big player people will pay to watch).

He should run against Dick Lugar in the Indiana GOP Primary.

I think Seattle is a sleeper to get him. They could put a good team around him, and would probably sign Reggie Wayne as well.

Also look out for Arizona.

I think Manning wants to win a SB, and I don’t think Washington gives him a good opportunity to do that.

Miami is the favorite at this point.
