The Indianapolis Colts got rid of a lot of talent after they watched their prize possession sign with the Denver Broncos. They have tons more holes now (and they had a butt ton before) and need to fill them. So, while they re-signed Reggie Wayne this offseason, they still have more receiver slots to fill. [...]
The Washington Redskins are the latest team to shuffle their wide receiver core. They have signed former Indianapolis Colts receiver Pierre Garcon, although we don’t have contract details right now. Garcon will instantly become the top target for RGIII (assuming that the Redskins don’t trade the pick). However, Redskins fans better hope that they didn’t [...]
This may come as shocking news to many of you, but former Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning is now a free agent. It’s true. He’s already had meetings with the likes of the Arizona Cardinals, Denver Broncos and Miami Dolphins, but there is another team that is hell bent on signing him. The Tennessee Titans. [...]
A story that really went under the radar this week, the Indianapolis Colts released QB Peyton Manning this week. He’s actually a free agent now and is free to sign with anyone else. It’s true. Look it up. But, the Colts aren’t done with their overall. Not only does it look like Reggie Wayne will [...]
Wait a minute. I think we got a little ahead of ourselves with that headline. It doesn’t look like Peyton Manning is dead, he was just released by the Indianapolis Colts. Phew! So yeah, after passing for more than 54,000 yards, earning four MVP’s, 11 Pro Bowls and one Super Bowl title, the Colts have [...]
I know we’re all getting sick of all the Peyton Manning talk, but it’s really just beginning so we might as well just shut up and like it. Don Banks of Sports Illustrated says that NFL sources tell him that Manning didn’t have three neck surgeries as we’ve all thought. He’s actually had four. And [...]
There has been a lot of talk – maybe too much talk – about Indianapolis Colts (soon to be former) QB Peyton Manning and his ability to play football. On one hand, they say he’s medically cleared to play, on the other, people who have watched him work out say that it’s just not there [...]
The timing of this report is a bit curious. Just a couple days ago, there was a report from sources who would know about Peyton Manning’s neck condition that said he’d probably never play again. Now, Chris Mortensen is reporting that Manning has been medically cleared to resume his NFL career. Of course, it’s Mort, [...]
There has been a lot of talk lately – maybe too much talk – about Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning. He’s gone back and forth in the media with owner Jim Irsay, he’s due a $28 million bonus in March and there has been a ton of speculation about who could sign him if/when the [...]
We already know about the issues the New York Jets are having with Mark Sanchez and their possible desire to go after Peyton Manning. But, we couldn’t possibly think that they would be the only team interested in one of the best QB’s in NFL history should be become available. And ESPN‘s Adam Schefter and [...]
We mentioned previously that actor Rob Lowe was tweeting about Peyton Manning’s retirement. He said that he could be wrong, but that his people tell him that Manning will retire today from the Indianapolis Colts and NFL as a whole. Well, Jason La Canfora of NFL Network got a hold of Manning’s agent Tom Condon, [...]
There has been a lot of talk (maybe too much talk) about the future of Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning. With an injured neck that just can’t seem to get right, many have speculated that he will just retire. And now, we get word from someone who says that Manning will retire today. Everyone’s favorite [...]
Not sure that this is a shock really. There was a good portion of the season spent wondering whether or not the Indianapolis Colts would be joining the 2008 Detroit Lions as the only two teams to lose all 16 games. But, without Peyton Manning, was head coach Jim Caldwell really culpable? The Colts think [...]
The Indianapolis Colts knew they were screwed when Peyton Manning continued to have issues with his neck. They just really didn’t know how screwed. If they did, then the Polians would still have their jobs. So, Peyton was out all year and one of the early-season attempts at a band-aid was bringing in gray beard [...]
There is more than a lot of smoke coming out of the Peyton Manning camp regarding the Indianapolis Colts’ decision to draft (or not draft) Stanford QB Andrew Luck. His dad Archie decided to pipe up recently and say stupid stuff about Peyton and Andrew not wanting to be on the same team, or that [...]
Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning probably won’t play again this year. At least we don’t think he will. Why would he? He’s got nerve problems in his neck and he’d just be rejoining a team that probably would have one or two wins at most. And that’s being generous. Well, long-time Colts beat writer Phillip [...]
We understand that ESPN’s Adam Schefter is not just throwing out fake NFL trade rumors. On Thursday, he suggested some trades that would make sense for certain teams. We thought he made it clear that he didn’t say these would happen, but just that he thought they made sense. But, here’s the problem. Most people [...]
We learned today that Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning (heard of him?) had cervical fusion surgery on his injured neck Thursday morning. We’ve been hearing that he would need another surgery, but some reporters denied that it was imminent. Well, it was. Now, the question becomes how serious of a surgery this was. Sure, cervical [...]
Most NFL teams are pretty secretive with their injury report and don’t give out any more information than they are required to by the league. The official injury status report usually comes out Wednesday, so that’s when we thought we’d get Peyton Manning’s official status from the Indianapolis Colts. But no, the Colts have decided [...]
When word first broke that former Ohio State coach Jim Tressel was hired by the Indianapolis Colts as a game day assistant, there was a bit of outrage from fans and media. Here the NFL had just suspended Terrelle Pryor for five weeks due to NCAA violations that yielded the same discipline at the college [...]
For those of you who drafted Houston Texans RB Arian Foster the People (FTP) high in the first round and are worried that he won’t be running in his pumped up kicks for the first week or so, we have some sort of good news. While none of this is definitive, it is good to [...]
We’ve been mentioning Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning quite a bit on OTR lately. First we mentioned a report that he would need an additional procedure on his neck, then we passed along Mort’s report that that wasn’t true. Now, CBS’ Mike Freeman says that the Colts are prepared to be without Peyton for 4-5 [...]
We mentioned earlier that there was an ESPN 1070 report out there that Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning would need another procedure on his troublesome neck. Colts President Bill Polian said that he was not aware of such a procedure, but didn’t flat-out deny it. Now, there is a report from ESPN’s Chris Mortensen, who [...]
So you just were all excited that Indianapolis Colts QB Peyton Manning fell to the fourth round of your fantasy draft. Hooray! What a steal! Ummm…maybe not. According to John Michael Vincent of ESPN 1070, Manning needs another neck procedure according to multiple sources and will be out indefinitely. “I’m not trying to be a [...]
There was a report in the Chicago Sun Times recently that cited a source who said that the annual Hall of Fame game was going to be canceled. While no one would really care if it was, the NFL says that isn’t the case. “For those asking about report of cancelled Hall of Fame Game, [...]
