      Peyton Manning is too busy going Hollywood and filming commercials to get to know his new receivers!

      Maybe the problem is that his teammates don't like him because he is gay! He kissed Papa John! Did he kiss FA savior Evan Mathis? NOPE!

      He thinks he is smarter than everyone else!

      He only cares about his stats which is why he throws everything short!!

      Only PEDs have kept him upright for this long, without them he is Jim Sorgi!

      Trade him for Joe Thomas! Start Osweiler!
      Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

        At that price I wouldn't mind seeing him in GB. That's basically "average" with $155M cap.

            For the position, sure; but that varies radically depending on roster makeup, like when Finley was making $7M/year. For 2016 $3M/yr is not a big salary for a 53 man roster (plus a few) and a cap of $160M+ with carryover.

              Trade Peyton Manning for Joe Thomas.

              What a brialliant idea...move that would be for John Elway..

              There was tension between BRONCO GM John Elway and Peyton Manning during the season and if he's behind Center again for the Broncos...I'll be very wrong in my analysis that he's gone from Denver.

              I'll also be surprized if he retires. He has records yet to break.

              His wife likely wants him out of the house as she seems to be very low profile and football. Her husband appears to be obsessed with himself....
              and PLEASE I ask that you qualify that statement as I don't really know Peyton Manning except for what I garner (gleem) from a computer screen or the TV programming. On the note of his wife....a very attractive woman.

              Peyton gets everything to .... PERFECT. Peyton gets everything to perfect ... Peyton Gets everything to perfect. Peyton gets everything.........

              Peyton Manning will be trying to throw for TD's in the 2016 Season and struggle to break all of the records. Peyton may get there for his persistence to be everyone's ALL TIME BEST.

              Jhhhheeeesh ! It's hard for some of these Pro's to quit the game they love even in Peyton Manning case that is to obviously the EXACT BEST thing to do. That exact thing that will be highly respected by NFL football fans.

              How hard is it to do the RIGHT thing?

              We'll soon I expect find out and Peyton Manning.

                Cook has high upside, we might not even have to guarantee anything, and he was cut so he doesn't factor in to comp picks next year. Seems like a hell of a TT sign.

                  Does an 8th year player still have "upside"?

                    I suppose I could see this work if Cook does one or two things demonstrably well, regardless of QB. If he can get deep into a seam (not theoretically, but on film) and find openings in the middle of a zone, then spending a modest amount on him in a pay as you go contract is fine.

                    I am not interested in upside, I would be more interested in dimension he can add that he had demonstrated on tape.

                      Agreed, and they can see that even if he didn't get the ball. At this point, he is what he is.

                        And if he's cheap because he's 28, what he is... he is going to be awesome for the price with our QB.

                          I usually side with you on this type of veteran guy, Patler. I just feel like Cook has a perfect storm of factors that might make it happen and make him effective in GB. And it all depends on demand for his services. If he gets competitive offers, forget it. Out of our price range.

                            Actually, I don't disagree with you. I've gone on record above indicating I wouldn't mind if they gave him $3M or so, basically Quarless' money from last year plus another million or so.

                              I'd be fine with that kind of signing too, however, I think Cook will garner intere$t from a few teams. This might be his last time to cash in, and even though he's a cap casualty, I think he'll still command a bit more than a 1 year deal.

                              I have a couple of questions. Do cap casualties who are cut prior to the start of free agency have to wait for the free agent signing period to sign with another team?

                              If a cap casualty is free to sign any time after they are cut and clear waivers, is there any advantage for them to wait for the free agency period?

                                THIS

                                My gut says he signs a 3-4 year deal at 4MIL a year.

                                However

                                Maybe he doesn't get any biters during TT's Annual Hibernation (first 30 days free agency is open) and TT swoops in for a 1-2 year deal at the above. Worth a shot
