Pft suggests manning will use dolphins like everyone else

[eminem79637]

Here we go again.. Use us as a leverage chip i hope these douche bags are wrong manning to miami would be awesome

He wont use anyone, IMO. He has more money than its possible to spend. He just needs a team that gives him a chance to win. Thats all. If he think its Miami, he will choose us. :)

Nobody has used us, this is a term the media and fans have come up with when a player or a coach does not choose to come here. These guys are doing the same thing everyone else is doing , trying to get the best possible deal .

I'd like to 'suggest' that Mike Florio is a putz who still has an axe to grind after his golden boy, Pat White, got cut by the Dolphins.

Peyton is way too professional to do something like that. We are one of his options, and the only other team I think he will strongly consider is Seattle who can offer him a very nice package too.

I dont see why Manning wouldn't use us as leverage - everyone else has. Jeff Fisher, Ryan Clark, Jim Harbaugh, Ahmad Bradshaw. I honestly don't know how we would even sign Manning if he chose to come to Miami.

This isn't really an issue about money so I don't know why he would use us. He's going to go to a location that he feels is best for his family and the best for his playing career.

Miami is the best fit.....BUT the media seems to have an axe to grind with us and they don't want him in a Phin's jersey, especially Billick.

Oh so if we only offered him $1 million per season you think he would still be ok with it? I seriously doubt it.

It is about money. While he may not ask for the $20 million a season he was getting before, I doubt he is going to accept a contract for $5 or $10 million a year.

Let's just hope Ireland isn't too involved in the conversations with Peyton. Ireland is a deal breaker. It should be Ross and Philbin, mostly Philbin, in that room talking to Peyton.

Well said its silly to suggest money will not be a factor. I mean if Seattle offers him 20 million a year over 4 years and we offer 12 million over three years do you really think he will say oh yea I got enough millions .

Well of course, but he's not going to a team for the money. He's going to a team that he feels is closer to winning a SB, and that's the best for his family. Peyton using another team for leverage doesn't make sense to me.

It will be a factor, but it won't be the main reason he goes to a team.

What do you guys think the max we'd spend is? I would hate to see us go over 25m per year.
