Football Report: Pending physical, Peyton Manning intends to return to Broncos - Page 9

Well, that didn’t take long.

After the January 11 divisional-round loss to the Colts, Broncos G.M. John Elway told quarterback Peyton Manning to take several weeks before deciding whether to return. Woody Paige of the Denver Post, citing three unnamed “trustworthy” sources (not to be confused with the usual untrustworthy kind), reports that Peyton intends to come back to the team for a fourth season.

The only potential roadblock would be his annual physical examination. Manning had multiple neck surgeries before joining the team, and he’s checked every year to ensure that his neck will still be able to withstand the demands of playing professional football.

His third year with the team ended reportedly with two thigh injuries that seemed to significantly impair his ability to throw the ball.

The Broncos need a definitive answer from Manning by March 9. His $19 million base salary for 2015 becomes fully guaranteed thereafter.

Manning’s willingness to play for new coach Gary Kubiak suggests: (1) that Manning wasn’t overly upset about the departure of coach John Fox and offensive coordinator Adam Gase; (2) that Manning is comfortable with the intended offensive approach under Kubiak; and (3) that Manning isn’t holding too much of a grudge regarding the failure of Kubiak’s Houston Texans to reciprocate Manning’s interest in joining the franchise three years ago.

He's paid less than Alex Smith. That's reasonable?

The point was, Tom Brady's cheater contract frees up elite cap space for the Pats...Something no other team with an elite QB not on a rookie contract has.

It's an unfair advantage and most likely unprovable cheating

It sucks, but Brady simply isn't a greedy money-hungry jerk like Fivehead is.

So you state his cap hit is 11 million, more than once, and I took it too literally?

Just say that you were wrong dude...

OH, I get it... you like to speculate and then present it as fact, then get bitchy when people challenge your bullshit stance, because it's, well, you know...

Bullshit.

Somebody please call Amnorix, I'd hate for him to miss out on this.

Stop it right there. You're going to ruin all the fun.

Hootie · 03-04-2015, 04:33 PM

You guys are ridiculous. If you can't see the competitive advantage of an elite QB playing for $9M instead of $20M then I'm done here. It's a lost cause. People just follow me around and it's laughably pathetic. You only make yourselves look dumb.

Hootie · 03-04-2015, 04:35 PM

When Houston inevitably resigns with us, who wants to bet his 2015 cap hit doesn't exceed $10M?

Hootie · 03-04-2015, 04:37 PM

Oh, and getting made fun of by stumppy (who?), sapphojunkie (who?), and Mr. Double Digit IQ Jason doesn't really tend to phase me. Especially when one of those guys just said "Peyton Manning sucks" and is a Chiefs fan. That's rich.

This makes sense. Or, no it doesn't. But leave it to you to totally miss the point. Brady will be a paid Patriot for life. Manning no longer has golden boy status with any NFL team.
