Manning has informed the Redskins he is not interested

[phinatic1399]

According to Chris Russell of ESPN 980 Washington, it isn’t.
Russell appeared on SportsCenter Thursday and, citing multiple sources, reported that Manning doesn’t want to play in the nation’s capital and has already informed the team.
“A couple of different sources inside the organization have told me that Manning’s camp made it pretty clear to Redskins officials he doesn’t want to come here,” said Russell. “… There’s lots of reasons for that. His brother Eli, the colder weather, the whole situation down in Miami and so on and so forth. But unless that changes — and I’m taking my sources at their word — I don’t think Manning’s coming here to D.C.”

Yes... Yes... YES!!!

A bit of good news.

The only real team that concerns me is the Cardinals. I think Miami offers him a whole lot more than Phoenix does though, so who knows.

"the colder weather". Isn't it very cold in Kansas City and Denver? I thought so.....

People are gonna attribute this to the "Eli factor." Instead IMO, it's the "Shanahans factor" (especially junior).

Definitely 'cos of Eli, no other logical reason to rule a team out so fast.

"the whole situation down in Miami" - does this mean we are the known front runners?

one less item for the naysayers to whine about. so lets see redskins are out, manning can shake with his right hand, we are not the only team interested in manning, manning is not bed ridden. hmmm what else has been debunked?

does this mean we are the known front runners?

Yes, I heard the whole interview on ESPN, Russell thinks Manning will land with Miami and he said we offer Manning the best chance to win

 

[The Tannehills Have Eyes]

I already hired a hit on the cardinal franchise, someone needs to take care of the chiefs.
