Presuming things go as expected, the next question that will be asked is this -- will someone sign Manning while he's still building the strength back in his arm? Chances are, the answer to that question is yes. And that puts the Miami Dolphins in the catbird seat.

Miami owner Stephen Ross is convinced his team is a quarterback away from serious contention. In selling the team the Dolphins are pushing a star-driven "Lakers" model. Manning kills two birds with one stone on that, and that's why Ross would likely be willing to assume some risk in acquiring this particular quarterback, who just so happens to have a condo in South Florida.

The Seahawks, Jets, Cardinals and Redskins have done their due diligence as well, and the list of suitors certainly would grow if Manning can prove he's healthier now than he's perceived to be. Manning's presence is looming over so much of the NFL offseason, with some would-be Peyton Destination clubs also investigating free agent Matt Flynn and/or a trade-up for Robert Griffin. All of which means that while March 8 is the end of one story, it'll likely be just the beginning of another in this saga.

Ugh. So let me get this straight. All these teams have done their due diligence on the injuries and the consensus is that they're all too afraid of Manning's health...but Miami is the only team dumb enough to pounce immediately upon Peyton's hitting free agency.

Grand.

Why is it your opinion that our landing a sure thing Hall of Fame QB is madness and stupidity? We are being reported as the front runner to land this guy by 90% of the media discussing his situation. If you don't like it maybe you should avoid the threads discussing it.

As for the Dolfan that started this thread, thanks, I had'nt heard this report and appreciate you sharing it.

I would be excited to have him, but huge waste of money unless mostly incentive and QB drafted to learn behind him. This thought process includes the drafting of Tannehill and that is flawed. What QB is truely an OC on the field? 1 in a billion? Manning has only a few years left. The QB behind him will not be able to run the offense like Manning. Manning will be learing a new system and will have to adjust and that will take a few years. 2+2=4 Respect to him, no disrespect to those behind him. He figues out the offense in his last 1 or 2 years and then hands over an offense to a person that can't run it like that because Manning is that good and we are back to square one. I am in the right for this comment ;)
 
We will get him the dolphins have been hurting for a QB since Marino everyone and their moms know this! If we get manning and it works out this will be the best season to watch form a fan perspective 100%
 
He must not have talked to Mike Florio because he said Miami has no chance and will use the Phins.....Kidding aside, the fact that Miami seems overly eager to sign Manning makes me extremely nervous. I'm very fearful that they won't do their homework and will sign Manning and pray he's healthy when the season starts. Ross seems desperate to get a "name" to be the face of the franchise

I disagree. Bring all the speculation. That's what's fun about the NFL offseason.
