Peyton Manning is a wanted man these days. Between being sought after as a commercial pitch man or a potential “Monday Night Football” announcer, the five-time MVP will have some sort of notable post-playing career.

Now comes the latest rumor: Could he be the next New York Jets general manager?

After Jets CEO and chairman Christopher Johnson announced the firing of GM Mike Maccagnan on Wednesday, NBC Sports’ Mike Florio reported that league sources believe the Jets will key in on Manning.

With no front office experience, Manning would not be a traditional hire, but that seems to fit Johnson’s MO this hiring cycle.

“It’s more than a talent evaluation guy,” Johnson said on a conference call Wednesday. “I want a great strategic thinker. A great manager. A communicator. Someone who can collaborate well with the building. And I’m convinced we’re going to find that person.”

Not a good move, hire a established GM (someone who has worked in the front off before and was successful, hire Peyton Manning, as an assistant to get training, over time, promote Peyton, if has proven himself.)

A communicator. Someone who can collaborate well with the building

He can always hum a little Nationwide tune to the stadium to make it feel better.

Peyton is way too much of a celebutard to put in the hours to be a real GM.
I think he is way to happy getting paid alot of money to think he's funny.

Ever since Woody Johnson left the Jets things have gotten really bad.

Do you know how dumb someone has to be to make the above statement come true?
