nj meadowlands Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Now, I am extremely reluctant on the idea of trading for Peyton. Just two days ago, his own dad said he "wasn't sure" if Peyton would be able to go in 2012. To trade for someone with a neck condition that hasn't fully healed, especially considering the haul we'd have to give up, is a really risky proposition, and we would look like FOOLS if it didn't work out. That being said, Peyton is one of my favorite players in NFL history-- if he is truly healthy, and the price is right, I would love to see him in green and white next season. But what price is right? 2 first rounders? Is that too high? A first and a second? A first and a decent player? What do you all see as a reasonable package to put together to get this guy (again, IF he is healthy, and IF the Jets really feel he's the right now solution.)

Bleedin Green Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 There should be no reason to trade for him. The Colts are staring at an unmanageable roster bonus without any ability to renegotiate his contract before then. If they plan on drafting Luck, they're going to end up cutting him. Might as well just wait for that, unless they can get him for really cheap in a trade in order to avoid any sort of free agent bidding war.

nj meadowlands Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 BG very interesting point. What would a reasonable 1 or 2 year contract look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to be cut or kept. The Colts can't push back his $28 million bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pointman Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I can't believe that we are talking about Peyton being potentially cut. Damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayJ667 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 There is no trade. Irsay said as much, he won't trade him. I imagine it as a professional courtesy to Peyton, Irsay is saying choose where you want to play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None he will either be released or remain a Colt, the NFL PA won't let him push back his roster bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 nothing at all for a 36 year old slow guy coming off of something like 6 procedures on his NECK all I would ver give up is cap space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larz Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 and another thing what is the difference between "cut" and "waived ? is it timing ? would he have to clear waivers ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoping4ASuperBowl Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 and another thing what is the difference between "cut" and "waived ? is it timing ? would he have to clear waivers ? If he's waived I believe he has to waivers where another team could claim him and pick up his roster bonus. If he is cut outright its fair game for anyone and His roster bonus is eliminated.
