King revealed that doctors are not happy with the progress of Manning’s recovery from surgery five months ago and that he has yet to regain full arm strength. With the Colts’ decision on the $28 million bonus they must pay Manning by March 8 now only some five weeks away, that could prove to be the final shred of evidence Irsay needs to cut Manning loose.
Of course, if Manning is perceived to be damaged goods with little chance of regaining full mobility, he isn’t likely to get a lot of interest on the free-agent market and, for that matter, will probably just accept his fate and retire. That would clearly drive up the stock of Green Bay backup quarterback Matt Flynn, who is perceived as the top signal-caller on the free-agent market other than Manning.
Of course, Green Bay has options other than allowing Flynn to walk away for nothing. Chief among them is franchising him, as New England did with Matt Cassell a couple of years ago. Kansas City then gave up a second-round pick (No. 34 overall) for the rights to Cassell. A second-rounder doesn’t seem too much to pay, though the price could go higher depending on how many teams are showing interest.
The teams most often mentioned as a possible landing place for Manning are the Dolphins, Washington, the New York Jets, Arizona and possibly Tennessee, though the Titans have made their own significant investment in a veteran quarterback in Matt Hasselbeck.

Why would the Titans even be in the picture? They drafted Locker last year as well.
 
it is what it is....if we want him I believe he'll play for us next season.

Ozzy rules!!
 
The Phins have the edge as we have Philbin as our coach.....Flynn would have to learn a new system wherever else he went. I don't think Flynn's stock went up because of Manning's injury....it went up when he threw for 6 TD's and a ton of yards on the Detroit Lions.
 
The Packers have some concerns in Free Agency, like Jermichael Finley be unrestricted. I would think Finley would be more likely for the Franchise Tag for the Packers, before Flynn. Also, I dont know if there wlil be a huge bidding war. I think a lot of GM's would be hesitant to give a starters contract for Flynn. They might want him to come in and compete, but not be handed it with starters money. If Philbin is sold on him, IMHO. he is a Dolphin next season.
