[aaronlindstrom]

Paging Mr. Smith

 

[NinersFan80]

well shit

 

[Ray_Dogg]

He's advised Condon to get the contract talks started.

Guess that ring isn't that important to him.

Well at the very least we can say we tried and we don't have to go through the season wondering or saying "Why didn't we go for Manning"

 

[Ray_Dogg]

Once the deal is done the Broncos will "try" to trade Tebow.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

All of that was from Mort on ESPN right now.

son of a bitch. Manning is a fool. Denver is not relevant even with Manning at QB

 

[h0ckeysk83r]

Smith will come back to us and take the contract. If not then we roll with CK maybe even picking up a Johnson or someone else to battle it out with CK and tolzien.

Elway and Manning on Friday discussed the parameters on a 5 yr $90M deal according to Schefter.
The rest of my posts are from Schefter on ESPN.

Manning called all the teams this morning to let them know his decision.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

Manning will get to run his offense at Denver.

 

[BINGO]

Why am I not surprised by this decision.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

Manning's head told him SF but his heart told him Broncos.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

Elway and Manning have a great bond.

 

[Ray_Dogg]

Elway has talked about bringing in Jeff Saturday.

 

[clyde_carbon]

Fuck. I didn't think he'd go Broncos. I would've thought Titans if it wasn't us.

 

[Yadahell]

Damn you Peyton! Too bad we don't play the donkeys in the regular season.

 

[h0ckeysk83r]

Guess he wanted the money

It sounds like a dream come true, but a lot of things could go wrong with picking up Manning. He could get injured, paying him $18M/year could bump us right up against the cap, etc.

I also read an article that for all the 35+ year old QBs that changed teams, none of them ever won a Superbowl. Montana, Favre, there's a few more. Just sayin'.
