Sure. Right now, you guys are still feeling the pain of retaining Wanny you'll believe anything you read. Maybe the manning story is true but the Wanny on the bills list is hilarious.Originally posted by Section126

Like I said, easier said then done. BTW, did any of those players you mentioned agre to getting pay cutts or restructure? NO! Until then Manning stays a colt. But hey you can dream.
It's doable. BY them time it becomes doable, ever FA will be signed by the time players decide to restructure. Anyone remember Zach?Originally posted by rhadaddy
Peyton Manning may want to do anything to remain a colt. It's not inconceivable. so yes it's a dream, an AFAIK, it's a long shot, however, I'm trying to point out, that it's doable. Hell if it wasn't how come The Redskins always have big offseasons with huge signing bonuses, though they suck (coaching), they always seem to give guys huge bonuses and still be in the mix the following year. Players and agents usually balk at restructured contracts when the player stands to lose money, in this case it would be an extension/new contract or gauranting money to free up space. Either way it's doable.

justafan, the thing is that Hank always has the scoops....he laughs people off the radio when they propose trading this or that for this or that guy......it is completely out of character for him to make a statement like the one he did......The last time he said something like that was when he said the fins would trade for Fred Taylor or Ricky Williams.........IT HAPPENED.........
I think it went like this......
Marino is good friends with Manning.....Huzienga listens to everything Marino tells him on the phone.....Marino probably told Wayne that the problem is QB'ing and to go after Peyton.....Wayne then says: "Get me Peyton!".....Rick Spielman then says: "Yes Boss." Spielman then tells Hank.

Have you not read the implications of tagging him with the franchise tag?Originally posted by pats4life
Are you silly enough to believe that the Colts will not tag him? Come on, even if he is not a clt he will be traded not allowed to go where he pleases.

Best case scenario for the colts is a sign and trade for lets say 2 first round picks.....and he would have to agree to it.
THEY CANNOT TAG and sign......it would be cap suicide.
He will either except an extension that he has rejected so far...or he will go on the market.
