Football Report: Pending physical, Peyton Manning intends to return to Broncos - Page 10

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.

Didn't Hootie state that Manning wasn't going to take a pay cut?

Ive never said he sucks. But he does tend to go soft when the chips are down and he gets punched in the mouth.

I tried to introduce myself, but you couldn't get Peyton Manning's dick out of your throat in time.

I have to hand it to you, though...

Unlike Manning, you don't choke.

(and there's only one "p")

Not once. Good try, though.

Jesus Christ. Haven't seen Hootie this butthurt in a while. (Inb4whoareyou?)

Hootie · 03-04-2015, 05:36 PM

butthurt about what?

Aaron Rodgers and Tony Romo play for $20M a year.
Alex Smith plays for $16M a year.

Tom Brady plays for $9M a year of non-guaranteed money.

Would the Patriots have been able to afford Revis last year if Brady had a real contract?

$11M extra salary cap dollars is like 4 quality starters.

It's salary cap circumvention and unprovable collusion.

Hootie · 03-04-2015, 05:38 PM

Peyton Manning bumping his salary from $19M - $15M is a lot different than whatever it is Brady has done with his contract 19 times in 4 years with the Patriots.

When he signed his "big extension" he signed for less than the Chiefs got Cassel for ...

He's Kraft and BB's boy. He'll do whatever they say. It's salary cap circumvention and he knows full well he'll make all of that money (and a shit ton more) with the Patriots long after his career is over.

Again, can't prove it ... but if you think he's just taking a pay cut because he's "the All-American guy Tom Brady" you're naive and a moron.
