JetNation Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Well Jets fans, Peyton Manning mania has officially begun. The Colts are set to release Manning on Wednesday and multiple sources are reporting that the Jets will explore the possibility of making him a New York Jet. Source says Jets are definitely interested in Peyton Manning. They need to see how healthy he is before deciding just how interested. #nyj — Brian Costello (@BrianCoz) March 7, 2012 Let the Peyton Manning sweepstakes begin: The Jets are among the potential suitors for Manning bit.ly/we16Co — Jenny Vrentas (@JennyVrentas) March 7, 2012 Is Peyton Manning healthy?

Darrellegivesmeaboner#24 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 If there was ever a time that I was certain that players would be willing to take a pay cut, it would be right now...I have my reservations with Tanny, but working the cap is one that I have no concerns about. If Manning wants to be a Jet, he will be a Jet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lanightmare225 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Is it just me or do you think Peyton would come here after hearing Rexs sales pitch? Good oline, good foundation on defense with arguably the best player on defense in the league, a team committed to winning, basically can win it all right now if plugged in.. I know there are a lot of you who see negative aspects of our organization but I think Rex could make someone run through a brick wall and if he wants Peyton bad enough he had a good chance to get him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flgreen Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Sources: Jets will check out Peyton March, 7, 2012 Mar 7 12:54 AM ET Email Print Comments56 By Rich Cimini Ron Chenoy/US Presswire The Jets’ commitment to Mark Sanchez is about to be tested, with Peyton Manning on the verge of hitting the open market. Manning will be released Wednesday by the Indianapolis Colts, ESPN reported Tuesday, meaning one of the greatest quarterbacks in history soon will be an unrestricted free agent. As ESPNNewYork.com reported last week, the Jets intend to explore the Manning situation, primarily to check on his surgically-repaired neck and contract demands. Publicly, the Jets have professed their faith in Sanchez, but they also haven’t shut the door on Manning, fueling speculation about potential interest in the four-time league MVP. Sources say the Jets’ 2012 blueprint is built around Sanchez and, until recently, they hadn’t even plotted a salary-cap contingency for Manning. It would take a dramatic organizational shift to abandon Sanchez, sources said, but the Jets have been known to make impulsive decisions. (See Brett Favre, 2008.) Coach Rex Ryan rebuilt his coaching staff with Sanchez in mind, hiring a run-oriented offensive coordinator in Tony Sparano and retaining quarterbacks coach Matt Cavanaugh -- Sanchez’s first and only position coach in the NFL. If they somehow landed Manning, they basically have to throw the playbook into the garbage and adapt to Manning’s style. They did that for Favre in 2008, coming off a 4-12 season under Eric Mangini. The current Jets aren’t that desperate -- 8-8 after two straight trips to the AFC Championship Game -- and, despite Sanchez’s struggles late last season, they believe he’s an “ascending player,” as Ryan called him recently. The Jets have invested $30 million in Sanchez over three years. But Ryan also believes Manning is the best quarterback in the league, as he has said many times over the last three years, and he’s not about to miss an opportunity to inquire about the former Super Bowl champion. “It’s really important that we always try to improve the team,” GM Mike Tannenbaum said last week. “With that said, I expect Mark Sanchez to be our quarterback next year, but when we have opportunities to improve our team, that’s what we’re going to do.” Financially, it would be almost impossible to have Manning and Sanchez, who is counting $14.3 million on the salary cap. The Jets have only about $7 million in cap room, but they can create another $9 million by unloading Sanchez, who has two years left on his rookie contract. None of Sanchez’s 2012 salary is guaranteed. The unofficial deadline to make a QB decision is March 28, when Sanchez is due a $2.75 million roster bonus. Manning, who sat out the 2011 season, has been working out and intends to play in 2012. He conducted throwing sessions last week at Duke, where he was observed by former Jets consultant Tom Moore, ESPN reported. He was Manning’s longtime coordinator in Indianapolis before retiring and joining the Jets last season in an advisory role. Moore no longer works for the Jets, which allowed him to attend the workouts, but he probably could give them an unofficial scouting report on Manning’s progress. Because of health questions and age (he turns 36 later this month), Manning carries risk. But after its first non-playoff season in three years, the Ryan-Tannenbaum administration may feel pressure to win in 2012, perhaps giving them reason to make a play for Manning. The Miami Dolphins, Arizona Cardinals, Washington Redskins and Seattle Seahawks also could be in the Manning sweepstakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZachEY Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Do you think he really wants to come and compete in the same town as his brother? They are supposed to be a close family I think that might be the biggest draw of all. The two of them in the same city will create such a frenzy around the family and propel them even higher.

I'm kinda hoping the Jets cut Sanchez, thinking they'll get Peyton, but then Peyton backs out and the Jets don't have a starting QB. That would be hilarious.

Garb Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Manning will probably go to the highest bidder. They usually do. Peyton Manning and his wife just had twins....not that he needs the money, Lord knows he's made plenty....but it will be one of the primary focuses. So, which team has enough room to manuever and create MONEY? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's made more than enough money in his career and no matter who he signs with he'll still have a great payday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizard King Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 The jets could sign him and still not make the Super Bowl. All it would take is one missed block by Wayne Hunter next year and Manning would be out, with no Sanchez to back him up. Then who is your backup, Chad Henne? Or the fact that you have one veteran receiver and nobody in the system that has any time playing with him. Furthermore, he didn't want to come here 15 years ago, would he really want to be the center of the Tannenbaum circus in his last years as a professional?

billo83 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 So if he signs with the Jets. who is he going to throw to? Around here it seems that Holmes is a POS and next on the depth chart is Kerley/Turner? So the Jets will need to make another big splash in FA to sign a good established receiver, not to mention signing a compentent RT. Just don't see Peyton coming here without that happening, and I don't think he would trust draft picks to meet these needs. Can Tanny pull all this off? Then who's your QB of the future after Manning retires in a year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billo83 Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 Furthermore, he didn't want to come here 15 years ago, would he really want to be the center of the Tannenbaum circus in his last years as a professional? It wasn't that he didn't want to come here, it was that the idiot Tuna wouldn't commit to taking him with the 1st pick if he came out. Had the Tuna committed to this, Peyton would have been a Jet from the get go. Dumbest GM decision is the history of the franchise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
