Manning to sign with Denver Broncos

[Monomach]

He said "the 3rd pick" which, that's the Vikings and no.

I think he's being overvalued a bit. Why not just leave him there? Even if he wants out the Titans can tell him no and he's stuck with it. He's the backup QB so holding out will accomplish nothing other than draining his wallet with fines.

Ah, ok. My bad.

I don;t believe in Ponder, but it's probably too early to give up on him and Kalil is a sure thing, so the Vikes should stay put. The Browns at #4 overall, though...

In any case, if I run the Titans, no way in hell do I trade Locker just because I sign Manning. That kid is staying and learning, whether he likes it or not.

[mightytitan9]

The Titans finally have a guy who can be our franchise QB, I don't think we trade him just because we sign a 36yr old QB with a bad neck (if that were to happen)

[killxswitch]

Where the hell did these radio hacks get their numbers? I see zero corroboration.

Titans owner Bud Adams has offered Peyton Manning a contract “for life.” As crazy as it sounds in the salary-cap era, it can happen.

Per a source with knowledge of the league’s procedures, Manning and the Titans would be required to sign two contracts: one for the work as player, and one for the job as a non-player. The second job would have to be a “real job,” and the wages for the second job would have to represent fair market value. Manning would have to actually perform the duties of the job after his playing career ends.

Also, the entire arrangement would require league approval.

There would be no cap charge during Manning’s playing career. However, if the second contract pays higher than fair market value or if Manning doesn’t perform the services required, the Titans would face salary cap charges and other penalties for circumventing the cap, including fines and possible loss of draft choices.

To the extent that the contract “for life” would entail purchasing a portion of the team, there would be salary cap implications. Before getting to that point, the transaction would have to be approved by a vote of the 32 owners.

It’s unknown whether Adams would attempt to convey minority ownership of the Titans to Manning.


Bud Adams is out of his god damned mind.

[DoughBoy]

He is 89 years old and still hasn't won a Superbowl. Me thinks he is going all in to get Peyton for one last hurrah. But yes, he is still an insane mofo.

[TitanHope]

Nashville radio reporting Peyton has signed with the Titans.

3 years, $67 million, option for a 4th

Who exactly on the radio?

The Titans finally have a guy who can be our franchise QB, I don't think we trade him just because we sign a 36yr old QB with a bad neck (if that were to happen)

This. There's a plan for Locker for both scenarios. If Manning actually does sign with Tennessee, and it is for 3 years, then that means Manning will become a FA as Locker becomes one. The Titans would have to make a choice based on potential rather than results and re-sign Locker to franchise QB type money, or franchise Locker so they can get a year of results in. Adding a 4th flex year to Manning's deal would give them flexibility, so if say Locker held out after being franchised (Highly doubt he would based on his character, but hypothetically), then Manning could be brought back and play for most of the season until Locker was forced to play his remaining games. Then based on those games and if Locker had settled down, then re-sign Locker to a megadeal.

Titans are looking to have a TON of money tied up in few players over the next four years should Manning sign and Locker be re-signed. CJ got his, then Manning would have an obscene amount, then Kenny Britt may require an even bigger contract than CJ due to the Fitz and Megatron deals, and then re-signing Locker to franchise QB money. Have to extend/replace Roos at some point too.

Bud Adams is out of his god damned mind.

We knew this, like, waaaaay before all this nonsense, though.

[DoughBoy]

On the bright side TH, We currently don't have tons of money invested in anyone on the roster other than CJ.

You guys will trade Jake Locker to the Kansas City Chiefs so I can finally be happy.

Haha, we offered Gage a contract last year when Britt went down. He turned it down because the numbers weren't up to his, erm, standards.

Yeah, and we made out bandits on past deals like Roos (6 years/$43 million), David Stewart (6 years/$38.9 million), and even the Finnegan extension back in '08 (4 years/$16.8 million).

And Finny just got us a 2013 4th RD comp. pick too, so that'll be nice.

We'll cross the Locker bridge when/if it comes. My first argument is that he'd 100% HAVE to demand a trade. Then I'll argue against Seattle aquiring him because I don't like his pro prospects.

But that is all contingent on the foregone conclusion that Manning is and will continue to be healthy based on the evidence we've been given - mainly that every professional he's consulted has cleared him, he's already throwing, someone with a similar injury has come back 100% from it, and he's being wooed and offered huge money and years by many, many NFL teams that employ much more qualified medical professionals than your average internet message boarder.

[DoughBoy]

:

We were 2nd best in sacks allowed. Peyton has nothing to worry about so long as David Stewart and Michael Roos are Titans.

[mightytitan9]

I expect us to be fine extending guys in the future, especially with the cap floor coming in. I'm not sure what Britt will expect if he develops as we think he will, maybe 10m yr?

[mightytitan9]

It was our run blocking that was average, we only gave up 23 or 26 (can't remember) sacks while passing for over 4000 yards. We just signed Hutch

[Complex]

If we don't get Peyton. We should sign Myers and extend Verner, McCourty, and Britt. Also give like a 2 year extension to our tackles assuming their deals are near the end.

[TitanHope]

Unless Peyton is getting a handoff up the middle, he won't have a thing to worry about when it comes to our OL.

Why not a 3rd comp?

Figured projecting a 4th was safe since it's not an exact science. The Texans are probably the only sure fire projection for a 3rd RD'er. Should JJ sign a big deal, it'll change things. Especially if we keep pursuing cut players such as Hutch and Manning.

[mightytitan9]

I don't see any need to extend Britt (FA in 2014), Roos (FA is 2015) or Stewart (also 2015) but I would extend Verner and McCourty.

[Complex]

I don't see any need to extend Britt (FA in 2014), Roos (FA is 2015) or Stewart (also 2015) but I would extend Verner and McCourty.

[mightytitan9]

I thought Britt was FA after this season. I figured we signed him now before he blows up and gets ridiculous money.

He signed a 5 yr deal as a rookie.

He will be a FA after the 2013 season. I would let him play for the 755k he is scheduled this year.

Unless the terms of the contract is that he signed a true extension maybe a 5 yr 50m extension that leaves his contract the same until it expires. Essentially locking him up until 2018. So he'd remain at 755k and 1.3m the next two seasons before jumping to close to 10m yr.

I don't see any reason to pay him closer to 10m this season or next season if we don't have to

[TitanHope]

Britt's price increases as the seasons go forward. He'll be putting up better stats, will have become the best player on offense, and will keep adding time between his past arrests and the present. So if the Titans want to save, then the sooner the better.

Roos and Stewart hit FA in different years. Roos in 2014, and Stewart in 2015. The FO will probably wait to extend ATV and McCourty until after watching them both be full time starters this year without Finny.

Britt is a 2014 FA, so he has two years left.

Unless it's a true extension like I mentioned, it won't save us anything.

And Roos and Stewart both signed 6 year extensions in 2008, with 2014 voidable they both become free agents at the same time unless the voidable year is acted upon.

I'm really not worried about it, to be honest. ACL's aren't career crushers like they used to be, and by all accounts, Britt has recovered well and has had plenty of time to do so. I'd be worried if he were smaller or relied on his explosiveness more, but what makes Britt special is his physicality. He's a bully when the ball's in the air, and combine that with his size, he gets separation that way more so than he does with his speed. Still, he wouldn't be as special without that long speed and leaping ability. Hass has talked about how he's had to pull Kenny aside and tell him to slow down on certain routes where it's designed for the other WR's to pull coverage, but Britt is still beating the other WR's downfield so the coverage is electing to go to him, lol.

Unless it's a true extension like I mentioned, it won't save us anything.

And Roos and Stewart both signed 6 year extensions in 2008, with 2014 voidable they both become free agents at the same time unless the voidable year is acted upon.

It'd be an extension of his rookie deal, like you said. Preferrably do this next offseason, so Britt would finish his rookie deal the next season and then hit the increase.

You're right, you're right. Between Spotrac and my memory, I was mixing myself up. Spotrac listed Roos as a 2014 FA, then lists his 2014 salary, so that's just wrong. I know Roos's rookie contract had one more year than Stewart, so Stewart was a RFA since he hadn't accrued enough years, and Roos was heading into his final year in '08. Ok, this makes sense now. Stewart served his tender, giving him 4 years total, then hit his 6 years, and Roos finished the final year of his 4 years, then hit his 6 years. That's why they sync up. Hopefully Stewart doesn't opt out of his 6th year.

[mightytitan9]

I'd like to have Britt at least do a midseason extension just make sure everythings ok (which I fullly expect it to be)

And I don't think Roos or Stewart will ever leave as long as munch and bruce are here. Assuming they play out the contracts (not sure who's option it is to void) Roos and Stewart would be 33 I believe, so it's not hard to see them declining by then. I hope they can both play til they're 35 at least but we'll see

Ex-Titan safety Blaine Bishop reports Peyton Manning and the Titans are in contract talks as we speak.

[Splat]

It must be true then.

[DoughBoy]

no doubt....

[njx9]

[mightytitan9]

I personally won't believe he's signed anywhere til I see it on nfl.com or espn.

Just posted it in case others wanted to know the latest rumor

[mightytitan9]

Checked. Says he's at wal-mart in North Carolina.

Wow, Peyton shops at wal-mart like the rest of us

[DoughBoy]

They sign contracts at wal-mart?

[GoRavens]

At this point, it's almost definitely going to be Tennessee.
Aside from being his home state, I think Peyton would feel most comfortable controlling the Titans offense.
He can groom Locker to be a stud, and with Kenny Britt coming back and TE Jared Cook looking beastly at times last year, he has his #1 WR/TE combo.
Also, Tennessee's O-Line is a better than Arizonas, and personally, I think Denver would be an awful idea.
You don't completely rewrite your playbook for your running QB, just to sign Peyton and rewrite it all over again, it'd be two completely different offenses and that'll take time.

[mightytitan9]

They sign contracts at wal-mart?

No, I think he's cashing his check there because the banks are closed...

[njx9]

You don't completely rewrite your playbook for your running QB, just to sign Peyton and rewrite it all over again, it'd be two completely different offenses and that'll take time.

the actual playbook is perfect for peyton. they had to scrap something together for a qb who can't run an offense last season. no one wants to use it again.

[mightytitan9]

If I were Peyton, I'd want to work with Palmer way more than McCoy. That's just me though

[bucfan12]

If he wants to stay in the AFC, I think he's going to Tennesee. Although Arizona is probably more enticing throwing the rock to Fitzgerald. However, I don't know if he wants to play behind that offensive line in Arizona.

I just don't think he chooses Denver. There could be too much drama surrounding there as they get rid of the guy who HELPED (key word) get them to the playoffs.

[Timbathia]

No, I think he's cashing his check there because the banks are closed...

He might be buying it.


And can everyone stop trying to compare WRs, o-lines and playbooks. This has nothing to do with it. Any of the four main teams can offer him what he wants in that respect. This decision will be almost purely based on where his wife wants to live (and their baby twins). And if you dont understand that, you arent married with young twins.

I know nothing about the salary cap, but if the ownership was given to him it surely would be some sort of a breach unless it is also counted against the cap.

If this is seriously a consideration, I'm sure the Titans have lawyers looking over the CBA rules as to not do anything illegal. It was posted a page or two back what would happen

The valuation of the stock would count against the salary cap, so I'm assuming that most of his compensation would be in the form of team stock, rather than the stock being paid in addition to his salary. My guess is that this would get approved by the owners and league office this one time, and then they'll pass a rule against it.

Mort said it won't happen because its too complicated, so that makes me think that it probably is going to happen.

Scott Wells is close to signing with the Tennessee Titans. This addition would completely change the look of the offensive line, especially when you couple it with the addition of Steve Hutchinson.

For two year's we've ranted and raged about the poor play in the middle of the o-line, and the front office has finally responded by signing two of the most prolific and well-respected veteran linemen in the league. Sure, they're long in the tooth, but they're the kind of linemen who Munch and Bruce can use to make this line the powerhouse it was for the prior decade.

Also contained in that same report is the idea that the Titans are so tired of Eugene Amano's poor play at center that they could outright release him. With Scott leaving as a FA, that would mean next season's starting O-line would be Roos, Hutchinson, Wells, Harris and Stewart.

[killxswitch]

I like Peyton sure, and I'd feel better with him starting than Hasselbeck.

But I'm really looking forward to Locker getting his chance. Plus that money could be used elsewhere and to sign extensions

You are very rational about this but I don't think your fellow Titans fans feel the same way. I don't mean here, I mean Titans nation in general.

CBSSports.com's Mike Freeman reports "there are at least two teams ready to jump into the fray." The Manning camp has reportedly spoken with both teams, one of which we presume may be the 49ers.

Another week of Peyton watch might be coming

The rumor now is that if the Donks get Peyton they will aggressively pursue Mike Wallace, too.

I'd also think Dallas Clark would be a pretty quick signing. If Clark can hang onto the pen long enough that is.

The Denver Post repots the Broncos are planning to offer free agent Peyton Manning a contract worth roughly $60 million over five seasons.

Low balling him?

[BeerBaron]

Low balling him?

Compared to partial team ownership, yes.

Still seems like too much though. The guy has 2-3 years max left in his career and is coming off a season missed because of a chronic neck problem that required multiple surgeries.

I'd seriously offer like a 3 year deal with mad incentives, but very little fully guaranteed.

[Bert Macklin]

I'd sign with Tennessee just for this

“@AdamSchefter: More incentive (we think): Shoney's is offering Peyton Manning all the free pancakes he can eat every day if he signs with the Titans.”

[WCH]

I think Favre's contract with the Vikings averaged $12.5 Million per year (which I thought was too much). That's probably the going rate for a 36 year old, injured, future HOF QB.

Unless you're the Titans. I think division rivals are willing to overpay for these guys.

No but seriously. 5yr 60m doesn't seem too outrages. Although, I think he'll get at least 15m year. I think I've said before I'd offer a 3 yr 50m deal.

Question: What happens to a players contract if he retires in the middle of it, does it just get written of the books?

I'm guessing he's flexible on the years. If I'm not mistaken, 5 years would lower the cap number in the short term, by spreading out the signing bonus. But I know Jack about the CBA, so I could be wrong.

Hmmmmm. People say if you put a wig on me, you'd get my little sister. And Njx looks like me, so that may make him uncomfortable. Or it may be right up his alley. Or he may have no feelings about it whatsoever.

Actually my radio station held events here today.

What's that about a Manning?

Firstly, yessssssssssssssssss.

Secondly, shhhhhhhhhhhhh.

People also seem to really approve of duck murder.

These 3 teams have to come away determined that Manning can be at the top of his game before they sign him. Hence the workouts for them. We'll see if he's really healthy in shorts, but there will be that time when he has to take a physical to determine if he can take a hit in real contact.

have you been following this at all, or did you actually think that was insightful?

They might be happy to see the Collin Kaepernick era start.

I would. Yes sir. It would only suck if Kaepernick turned out to be Max Hall or John Skleton bad.

Dam 5 years for 90 mill ? that is just way to dam much .. He better give that team 3 super bowls at least. but Dam .

That was the last contract he signed about a year ago with the Colts. The one he said he'd be retiring with.

i want them to put emmitt on MNF so that "asdklfha sdjklhwe90w easdfhs dhf#$ &a *^ *@ akdjfh(# akasdfbnm," is a legitimate MNF quote.

Not to derail this thread, but I watched the Monday Night Miracle game on NFLN recently, and it was hilarious listening to Dennis Miller. Dude had no place commenting on games and you could tell that Al Michaels was like, "What the **** is he doing here?"

seriously, back to marrying TH's sister.

And Njx looks like me, so that may make him uncomfortable. Or it may be right up his alley. Or he may have no feelings about it whatsoever.

'fairly excited' should've been an option.
