The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

Michael Lombardi on NFL Network was talking about Peyton Manning being traded by the Colts. He hypothicized that the Redskins would be a good landing spot. It would probably take a number 1 draft pick plus to get the trade done.

As for me, I would do if IF (and that's big IF) the cost wasn't high. No 1st round pick for him. Seconds, maybe 2. Manning is 35 years old and probably only has a couple more years to go.

What does everyone think about acquiring Manning? Hypothetically.

I wouldn't mind Peyton as a back-up but not as a starter. He calls his own plays, he wouldn't fit in here.

No way. Peyton will need to go to a team where he can be the OC as well as QB.

I think his next job should be at CBS. After listening to their pricks last Sunday, they could use some new blood.

No way Allen brings in Manning. He needs to go to a team that has a new coach and let Tom Moore come with him

Tom Moore is a consultant on another team. Can't remember where he's at but not in Indy.

That team is the Jets Frank. Tom Moore just got signed for the remainder of the season to help out the incompetent Brian Shottenheimer. Please no Manning. We're going with a young team now, so lets get a young field general!! Get me Matt Barkley in here!

This is precisely the reason why I think it would be a good move to get him. Manning > Kyle Shanahan. However, I would only take Manning if it was a bargain (no 1st round draft pick, or several round draft picks) of some sort. But I don't see the Colts settling for anything other than a 1st round pick, so I don't think us Skins fans have to worry about anything.

I could see Manning going to the 49ers once Alex Smith shows his true colors in the playoffs.

The Redskins will NOT have Eli OR Peyton Manning playing QB

No

Yes, if we only have to give up a 1st Rounder in 2013. Manning is the master. He will keep Kyle in place and lead the team until our 1st Round QB pick in 2012 is ready; which might be 2-3 years.

No, No and NO! He is 35 going on 36. How many years does he have left and how many other needs do we have? We need to get younger not older.

You want to trade a first round pick for a player that will be 36 years old and is coming off of missing most or all of an entire season because of three neck surgeries, that had to go to Europe to try medical stem cell treatments on his neck that aren't allowed in the US, and then put him behind our offensive line? That only makes sense if your goal is to put an end to Manning's career.

He's 35 and we need him for 2-3 years. We use our 2012 pick on a QB and the rest of the draft on OL.

If Manning isn't healthy then we obviously don't trade for him.

Right, and the fact that every other team knows this. Don't forget the bonus due in March. Manning right now is worth about a 3rd rounder this year, 2nd next, because teams know the Colts will cut him in March if they draft Luck, and he's 35, and he's coming off of that surgery so it's a HUGE risk all the way around. Absolutely no 1st or 2nd rounders please. Again, no way Allen brings Manning in.

These guys are not trading draft picks for ANY PLAYER - NO WAY, guaranteed

The ONLY way that Manning is not with the Colts next year is if he decides to retire

The Colts are drafting Luck and hope that Manning is still able to play

I disagree. The Colts will do anything that improves the team. If they draft Luck, and Manning is healthy, he'll be on another team.

Bottom line is that Manning isn't just going to retire if he's healthy, and that's what you are suggesting if they draft Luck. The Colts would be foolish to move forward with both of them on their roster. So he will pull a Donovan and give the Colts a short list of teams to get traded to.

Not sure why'd they'd be foolish? If $$$ is not an issue, both will be there and Manning will start.

I believe $ are the issue. Manning's contract is so big it has stifled the Colts' ability to sign other players. They need to move him and use those $ on new players.

NOT AT ALL

1 Manning is ONLY going to retire if he's NOT able to play QB
2 I disagree with you that the Colts "would be foolish" to keep both - they would love it

Manning's health is a big concern to both Manning and the Colts

The Jets will be his new home if he's healthy and parts with the Colts. He'll be in a large market (NY) along with his brother and former Offensive Coordinator.

It makes perfect sense for the Manning Brand as well as for Peyton's chances to win another title.

Oh, and don't think the NFL won't get behind that. The Manning's battle for control of NY would be a marketing win for both teams and the League.

Never thought of that scenario, but I could see it happening now that you mention it. the jets have been a 'win now' team the last few seasons.
