Do you think they sign with you at the prices they did because of any other reason but Manning?
Pat Mahomes is already having that effect and it’s not even free agency yet.
You will still get players to sign with you, but only if Elway pays market value or above. And if there are multiple suitors, you might just lose out because you don’t have a real QB.
And let’s say another Manning comes along. Maybe Aaron Rodgers or somebody like that. Your team is a flaming dumpster. They’re not going anywhere near you. The ownership, Elway, and your carousel of coaches is going to deter any and all advances you make.
But we shall see, won’t we?

In the end, yes - we will see.
