NFL Offseason
- Thread starter Brown Notes
- Start date
That's because right now you can be reasonably sure the Browns won't lose this week.

I fully expect to see Manning sign with Miami. I realize Denver was his first visit, but I don't buy for a second that Peyton will choose to play in a cold weather venue. I think it comes down to Arizona and Miami. Miami's got more going in it's favor IMO because they are a warm weather AFC team, he likes the city (already has a home there), they can offer the best LT in the NFL to protect his blindside, have weapons such as Brandon Marshall and Reggie Bush, and it sounds like Miami wouldn't be opposed to bringing in FA's Reggie Wayne and/or Dallas Clark to help Peyton's transition be as smooth as possible.
Peyton is in the middle of doing his due dilligence because that's the type of guy he is, but in the end it will be the Phins.

Arizona has the best wide receiver since Jerry Rice.
Our punt returner has just two less touch downs then Miami's number 1 wr LOL!
Also Joe Thomas is better then Jake Long.
Only reason it's not a shoe in that Peyton goes to Arizona is because Arizona already has Kevin Kolb.

I'm wondering if there isn't a wild card in the hunt for Manning...like the Ravens. They have Torrey Smith and Anguan Boldin, and if memory serves correct, Ray Rice isn't half bad at catching passes out of the backfield. The main downfall, as mentioned above, would be the cold weather climate. Sounds like the Jets are out of the Manning race after offering a contract extension to Sanchez. A move which makes no sense.
And because Peyton has said that he wants to stay in the AFC. But simple things like that wouldn't cloud your vision though.
I don't think the Jets were really ever in the race.

-Yes Arizona has Larry F, but they have very little else to offer in way of offensive weapons and their O-line is a mess.
-Joe Thomas is great, probably the 2nd best LT in the NFL but I'm sorry, Jake Long is better. And regardless, the Joe Thomas argument doesn't matter in this situation. Jake Long is easily the best LT in regards to the teams that are in the hunt for Peyton. Manning is going to pay very close attention to whose guarding his blindside when choosing his next team IMO.
-Arizona is once again a sinking ship and Peyton probably does not put them over the top. Not to mention that the Cards O-line probably coudn't protect him even if he did choose Zona.

Cards were 8-8 this year.
Also Cardinals finished the season 7-2 the last 9 games with a quarterback named John Skelton, also teams they beat were Cowboys and 49ers (also they lost to the Giants earlier in the year due to a controversal call in the last minute) Imagen Peyton Manning now.

Says the Broncos and Cards are favorites with Manning. I'd prefer my Broncos get him but I'd be ok with the 'Cards as I like them as well.
