Peyton Manning: Where will he play next season? [Poll]
Times NFL reporter Sam Farmer gave a list of 10 teams Peyton Manning might end up playing for next season. Which one do you think will land the future Hall of Famer? A quick recap of Farmer’s choices, with his comments:
Miami: The Dolphins need to sell tickets and owner Stephen Ross is star-struck.
Seattle: Their owner has the deepest pockets in the league, and Pete Carroll would let Manning mold that up-and-coming roster to his liking.
Arizona: Domed stadium, warm climate, Pro Bowl receiver Larry Fitzgerald, NFC West — what’s not to like?
Washington: Redskins owner Dan Snyder has a history of playing fantasy football in free agency, overpaying for big stars and rarely getting the desired results.
New York Jets: Rex Ryan insists he has no plans to give up on Mark Sanchez, but Manning probably would be too tempting to resist.
San Francisco: The 49ers have a grind-it-out running offense and are light on receivers (though they have a great tight end in Vernon Davis), so Manning would bring big changes.
Denver: Brace yourselves, Tebowmaniacs. The Broncos are going to add a couple of quarterbacks, and they’ll take a long look at Manning.
Kansas City: The Chiefs are a longshot here, and they have a lot invested in Matt Cassel.
Houston: Even though he leaves Indianapolis on good terms, Manning would love to face the Colts twice a season while playing (indoors, again) for the division’s new powerhouse.
Cleveland: The Browns do need a quarterback, but they’re more than one player away from being consistently competitive in that division, and a short-term star isn’t the answer.
