He has been meeting with and been linked to a variety of teams including the Arizona Cardinals, Miami Dolphins, Tennessee Titans and Denver Broncos (and Philadelphia Eagles if you listen to [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
In the first two years of the Mark Sanchez/Rex Ryan regime in New York, the Jets made it all the way to the AFC Championship game. No matter how it happened nor how ugly it may have been, they got within a sniff of the Super Bowl in their first two tries. Tough to argue [...]
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 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 [...]
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 [...]
This isn’t terribly unexpected since long-term deals are incredibly difficult to negotiate when there is no CBA on the horizon. According to Chris Mortensen of ESPN, the Indianapolis Colts have slapped the franchise tag on quarterback Peyton Manning. “Filed to ESPN: Colts put franchise tag on Peyton Manning,” he tweets. The Colts still plan to [...]
For all the talk about QB’s and who belongs where… I think it’s pretty clear who’s who in the NFL. Some are elite. Some are on their way. Others are simply overrated. If you had your choice, all things considered, who do you want to be the QB of your team? The theory is simple. [...]
Baltimore Ravens LB Terrell Suggs had a conference call with Pittsburgh reports recently and he had some great quotes. We want to hang out with this guy. T-Sizzle said that the NFL favors the likes of Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, while not caring too much about anyone else. “The league has their favorites,” Suggs [...]
Let us preface this by saying that this seems to be one writer’s speculation. We kept looking for a quote or a source in this story and didn’t find one. But, Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports says that if the New York Jets don’t come to an agreement with all-world CB Darrelle Revis soon, the [...]
Since 2004, Indianapolis Colts QB Jim Sorgi has the best job in all of football. All he had to do was play some snaps in the preseason and backup Peyton Manning, who never gets hurt. You just stand there and look pretty, Jim. But, according to Matt Brei on Twitter, the Colts are planning on [...]
