    Would Peyton Manning Want To Finish His Career In Buffalo?

    If Manning wants to leave Denver, he can leave Denver. He's Peyton Manning.

    "Trade me or I retire." The man can do what he wants to do.

    Peyton was non-committal when being questioned about his return to the Broncos.

    Call me crazy, but who would have thought a month ago that Kyle Orton would retire, Marrone would quit, and Rex Ryan would be hired as head coach?

    If Peyton doesn't like who the Broncos hire as their next head coach and Gase leaves, Manning has a big decision to make.

    Does he want to finish his career in Denver, or try to win another Super Bowl with a different team?

    If Denver chooses to release Manning upon his demand, isn't it nice to know that the Bills would be considered?

    The NFL would be ecstatic having Manning and Brady playing in the same division.

    If you're Peyton Manning, who do you want to face the most in the last 2 years of your career?

    Tom Brady.

    I think Peyton will like Kubiak.

    I'd love to have him here, but I just son't see it.

    Marrone turned down the interview in Denver because he thinks Kubiak is a shoe in for the job.

    If Kubiak doesn't get the job, and Marrone does, Peyton Manning could shuffle off to Buffalo.

    Kubiak seems like the perfect fit in Denver and wouldn't be surprised at all if the Broncos hire him and Peyton stays.

    But you never know.

    I can't see any other scenario other than Peyton retiring as a Bronco, whenever that happens.

    He would never come here and I have major concerns about his accuracy after watching his last 3-4 games. He couldn't hit anything past 15 yards.

    He had a torn quad.

    I don't think he's coming here either though.

    Peyton is old and washed up. I wouldn't want him even if he was available. He couldnt even get to the Superbowl with a stacked Denver team.

    Re: Would Peyton Manning Want To Finish His Career In Buffalo?

    It was the torn quad made him less accurate... Anyway, I would take him in a ny minute if it was between him or EJ (or basically any FA currently in the mix) He's only got 1, maybe 2 years left, but having his presence behind center would take a ton of pressure off Rex and allow him to get through next year with a positive and productive first season and avoid the EJ circus. That is worth it just for that kind of damage avoidance. Manning may not be what he used to be, but he will not embarrass the team, and frankly, with this D, he could end up taking them into the playoffs by just being "good".

    And then they'll be ready for the next draft where he HAS to get a real QB.

    But, like others have said, he'll never come here, so it's just a nice thread to play with.

    Re: Would Peyton Manning Want To Finish His Career In Buffalo?

    I'd say there is a higher likelihood of him returning to Indy than signing here. Anything can happen though.

    Re: Would Peyton Manning Want To Finish His Career In Buffalo?

    it's still more likely that my wife and kate upton agree to a threeway with me tomorrow evening than this ever happening.
    I came.
    I saw.
    I conquered.

    Re: Would Peyton Manning Want To Finish His Career In Buffalo?

    There's a better chance of him returning to Tennessee for one year and retiring. His wife is part owner of the Memphis Grizzlies. Doubtful that would happen but more likely than him coming to Buffalo.

    Peyton Manning would never consider playing in Buffalo under any circumstance.

    You call yourself "Mr. Cynical" and you buy that BS about a torn quad?

    Maybe only cynical about the Buffalo Bills.

    No way, No how. At this point money is probably not a motivating factor anyway.

    Between his football salary and endorsements I'm sure he already has more money than he'll ever need, especially if he saved/invested it properly (and he strikes me as the kind of guy who would).

    He's not going to go out a loser for money that he doesn't need.

    Manning has got to bring home double-digit millions in endorsements alone every year.

    No, he wouldn't even think twice about it. In fact I'm pretty sure he would laugh anyone who suggested it right out of the room.
