Peyton Manning to Dolphins picking up steam. Dolphins owner
Stephen Ross made it clear to his people that
Manning sits atop his wish list, and despite early buzz that Manning could land in New York or Washington, the Manning-to-Miami movement is the one gaining momentum in the NFL world.
Herm Edwards and
Michael Irvin both said recently that the Dolphins are a logical fit, because of the talent on the roster, the weather and the fan base’s desire for a big-name quarterback (not to mention that Manning owns a condo in South Beach and is rumored to be working out at a private school in Miami).
Joining the chorus this morning was
Eric Mangini, who said this morning on Mike & Mike that he also considers Miami the best landing spot for Manning. Mangini, of course, has done a little consulting work for the Dolphins over the past couple of years and knows how the owner thinks.
Off-shore, the Dolphins have become the favorite to land Manning, as well. The current odds,
