Not true - money very clearly mattered a great deal. Perhaps he also has legitimate championship aspirations as well, but if the first litmus test was contractual and not based on personnel, that makes it pretty clear that the championship aspirations weren't foremost on his list.

I don't fault him for it; it's his life and his livelihood. But in the end, I'm happy to move away from the narrative about how different Manning is than every other athlete. In the end, the money was clearly very important.
If it wasn't about the money he would have done what John Elway did to get a title. Take a substantial loss in pay so a Super Bowl team could be built around him. The 9ers would have been perfect for that, and they did contact him, so...not that hard to figure out really.

Why are you bringing up Reggie White and Deion Sanders?

He did what 98% of every player does. Follow a big pay check ... However, there were quite a few teams willing to pay the opening 90 MIL bid.

So Denver had to have something else besides money that was attracting.

Yeah, he didn't want to come to KC & be a backup.

It's in the Uncensored page. Barry started a topic about how Condon disrespected Pioli......the exchange is towards the end.


Barry is a ****ing reerun....plain and simple.

Sounds like 18m in year 1 and 58m in first three, possibly injury waiver or something like that.

I believe you have the mental capacity of a 5 year old.

18-20 million per year is the going rate for franchise QB's. Brady, Brees, Roethlisberger, Rivers, and Eli all make that much. Manning definitely could have gotten more, guys like Peyton NEVER hit the open market, if it was about the money Peyton would have allowed a bidding war.

The Franchise 03-20-2012 09:52 AM
I'm supposed to take this guy seriously?

Yeah, that's absurd for a guy coming off massive surgery and sitting out a year.

Spin in it however you want.

There have been better free agents than Peyton Manning.

Admittedly, QB rating is an imprecise measure. But, with the exception of 2009, Manning's has gone down every year since 2004.

He's on the downside of his career, and loss of velocity from his neck herniation can only accelerate it.
