On a day when Colts quarterback Peyton Manning was reportedly back in South Florida, enjoying the weather and his South Beach condo, Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland was in the city that boasts Manning as its most famous resident. And though he never mentioned Manning, Ireland — who’s in Indianapolis for the NFL Scouting Combine — said Thursday he would be receptive to signing a short-term solution at quarterback.

“I don’t think it has to be a long-term solution,” Ireland said of his plan at quarterback. “I think you can look at a short-term solution. Obviously, you’d like a long-term solution. Or you can try to get both. You’ve got to try to help this team win today and look to the future.”

Ireland said he and coach Joe Philbin have talked about quarterbacks “almost on a daily basis, especially the past couple of days. It’s an ongoing process. A lot of things have to be figured out.”

Manning will become a free agent if the Colts, as widely expected, decide not to pay him a $28 million bonus due March 8. Colts general manager Ryan Grigson said Thursday that he has not seen Manning throw and the team hasn’t made a decision.

“We’re in continuous talks,” he said. “We’re waiting for things to happen.”
With Flynn, the body of work is limited. “If you don’t have a lot of film [on players], you keep watching it over and over again,” Ireland said. Philbin, who coached Flynn in Green Bay, declined to discuss him Thursday.

Ireland and Philbin will be side-by-side the next five days, interviewing players and watching workouts.

“I haven’t spent as much time with Joe as I’d like, but a lot of time with the coordinators, getting to know what they’re looking for,” Ireland said.

Yeah it was posted. I don't know about the rest of you,but i don't know yet if i trust Ireland to evaluate and get us a Franchise QB.
 
Unless Ireland wants to be tar and feathered and ran out of town, he better check his ego at the door and make it happen.
Ireland is the only thing regarding the negotiations that I worry about.
 
The biggest scumbag buy here pay here used car salesman on the planet is more trust worthy then Ireland.

Hey i'm not defending henne, just saying he wasnt a short term fix in the mind of ireland when he drafted him. Hell you never know , if henne didnt get hurt we could have got all those picks St louis got and still got peyton.
