Where does Peyton Manning end up?

If John Elway wants guy just like him in denver,he would make a push at manning and the fans would forget about Tebow in a heartbeat :sadwave:
I think he's done and I've been saying that since the preseason. He's going to be forced to retire after hearing from doctors that if he takes one more shot from that blindside he'll risk paralysis. The same injury forced Michael Irvin and many other great players to retire, not because they couldn't walk anymore, but because of risk of further non-recoverable injury if they got hit a certain way on the field. It'll be a choice to play and risk not being able to walk again or not play again and retire to a life of TV and commercials.
That said, he'd look pretty good in a Jets uniform and if he were able to play, which I'm extremely doubtful of, he would be a good fit on any team that is just a good QB away from contending.

HOUSTON :toast: Schaub is in the last year of his contract, trade him and get Peyton, that is if he is healthy :shrug: Yates can learn from the best for 4 years 
I don't know if there has ever been a more valuable player on a team in NFL history.
If Colts recover the onside kick against Saints and if Patriots aren't allowed to hold receivers all the way down the field....for the most part he is unstoppable and would have several rings and be considered alongside Jerry Rice as the greatest 2 players of all time.
That's where he stands in my book and I'd like to see him keep playing....perhaps 49ers....but I'd rather see him retire than risk a severe injury.

Arizona or Miami
Arizona or Miami
Most logical is probably Arizona. Kolb didn't really play like they expected. This is a dome environment with Fitz and Heap to throw to. If they can bring Reggie over, They would be set. Peyton is s fighter and with Irsay not giving the time of day he will be back to prove something

Washington. They have the money, and the fans need something to cheer about! Unless of course they somehow land Griffin III
Don't know if I'm allowed to post this content from ESPN Insider, but now that Peyton has been cleared by doctors, I thought this would be interesting to people...
Manning's next team

Earlier this week, Indianapolis Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri told Jorge Sedano on 790 AM (Miami) that he saw Peyton Manning throwing footballs near the end of the 2011 season and that "he was developing nicely. Was he quite all the way back yet? Probably not, not to his standards, but he definitely is not that far off. ... He's busted his butt all season long and he's been working out extremely hard these last months to make sure he's gonna be ready to go for this next year."
A report on Thursday night from ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen and ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter paint perhaps an even more optimistic picture. The dynamic duo report that two doctors -- including the one who performed Manning's neck surgery -- have cleared him to resume playing football. For clarification, the report does not indicate that Manning is ready to play -- and the nerve regeneration must continue in order for this to happen -- but the QB's neck has sufficiently recovered, meaning that, as a source told ESPN, "It's not a safety issue; it's a performance issue."
Meanwhile, Colts owner Jim Irsay had a response to the report from Mort and Schefter; as we'd expect, he used his new PR department -- i.e. Twitter -- to make the statement. "Peyton has not passed our physical nor has he been cleared to play for The Indianapolis Colts. Team statement coming on Friday," the tweet from Irsay read.
Going back to our last look at potential Manning destinations, there are seven franchises that line up as a strong potential fit, and a summary of each contender is found in the grey box at right.
There will certainly be other teams willing to take a gander at Manning if the medical reports are accurate -- and he's able to throw. Any team that does not have an elite QB, in fact, should be considering the addition of Manning as long as it doesn't cripple their efforts to re-sign important incumbents or fill some other needs in free agency.
On Thursday morning, Punxsutawney Phil predicted six more weeks of winter, and it appears we'll have about six more weeks of Manning speculation before we learn where Peyton will play in 2012.
The Magnificent Seven
Arizona Cardinals: Larry Fitzgerald is reportedly dining with Manning this week, there could be some recruiting going on there. ESPN NFC West blogger Mike Sando notes that the team has until March 17 to make a decision on Kevin Kolb's option bonus, likely giving them time to make a decision on Manning beforehand.
Cleveland Browns. The Browns need a long-term answer at QB, but why not grab a short-term one this season and address some other concerns with two first-round picks (including No. 4 overall)? There will be other QBs to draft in 2013.
Miami Dolphins. They've been looking for a franchise QB since Dan Marino, and have yet to find him. Miami swung and missed on Jeff Fisher; will they do anything it takes to make sure that doesn't happen with Manning?
New York Jets. It's been reported that certain anonymous Jets players would opt for Peyton over incumbent starter Mark Sanchez. Does management agree? And is Peyton interested in the media circus?
San Francisco 49ers. Alex Smith -- impressive as he was (finally?) this season -- is hitting free agency. Does San Francisco prefer a player around which they can possibly build a decent contender for the next several seasons or a player that could push them over the top in 2012?
Seattle Seahawks. The one QB-needy team that has been lurking in the shadows as of yet, the Seahawks have a nice collection of weaponry on offense, and a management team that has shown it's willing to take a calculated risk.
Washington Redskins. As with the Browns, the Redskins are in need of a long-term franchise QB, but might settle for a short-term answer that would instantly make them contenders for the NFC East crown. A rumor back on Jan. 13 linked both Peyton and long-time teammate Jeff Saturday to Washington, and that could be a selling point for the QB.

best place for him is in Houston :0074 gets to play Indy twice a year and they are a qb away from being in contention for Super Bowl, Schaub is in last year of deal too opcorn2
opcorn2He lands in Miami to play for the Dolphins IF he ever plays again...among other reasons his wife loves the area.

A friend of mine is a pro/team personal trainer. We were at dinner last sat. He said guess who's been here 4 times in the last 6 weeks. I don't think anyone knows where he will end up. I definately think he is shopping and I know he will play. The hype is here he is expensive, but undoubtedly a smart QB and a good leader. Our propects are slim for a good QB, unless there is an outside chance at Brees. Money talks, Quarterbacks come, our coaching sucks, yes that means you Kyle....

I think SF, although Miami or Arizona would not be a surprise. I think Peyton would like to play for that crazy man Harbaugh!
