Peyton Manning to visit Denver TONIGHT to meet with Donks

[Quesadilla Joe]

Peyton Manning will be in Denver tonight visiting with the Broncos, according to two NFL sources.

This is getting serious, folks.

Manning, arguably the most decorated free agent in NFL history, has the Broncos on his short list. The long-time Indianapolis Colts quarterback was released earlier this week amid concerns about his neck, a $26 million bonus payment and the team's opportunity to select highly prized quarterback Andrew Luck with the No. 1 pick in the upcoming NFL draft.

Manning, 36, has been cleared to throw by his neck specialist, Dr. Robert Watkins. One NFL source said Manning will also visit the Arizona Cardinals and Miami Dolphins after visiting with the Broncos. A source said Manning would like to make a decision by Tuesday, the first day of free agency.

The Broncos' top brass of John Elway, coach John Fox and general manager Brian Xanders, are currently in Stillwater, Okla., watching the Oklahoma State Pro Day workout that features quarterback Brandon Weeden.

The Broncos have the No. 25 pick in the draft, plus the 25th selection in the second round. Weeden, who turns 29 in October, is considered the second-best passer to Luck in the draft and has been projected to go between the Broncos' top two picks.

Manning will turn 36 in two weeks.

It is our Front Office's job to try to acquire the best player available for every single position on the field.

I just thought it was funny. I think I read somewhere the Broncos brought in Eric Decker today to meet Peyton.

And, if they're around - why wouldn't they? You know... we'll see how it unfolds.

That's not what I mean. Tebow has dealt with enough adversity throughout his career that he'll be ok. But now that the fans might be a little bit pissed at Elway for either A:Not getting Manning or B:Turning his back on Tebow, he's going to catch a lot of heat if things don't work out.

[Mile High Mania]

I root for the team... I quit being attached to players when Elway retired.

Imagine if they don't get Manning, and in a fit of rage Tebow demands to be traded.

This entire Peyton drama is ridiculous. I'm going to have an aneurysm.

Oh and I agree... 1/2 the fans will moan and 1/2 will be happy. Oddly enough, there's a poll on Denver Post asking the question, and just over 21,000 people have voted with 66% saying "Manning".

It's not scientific, but ...

We wish. But it wont happen like that. I guarantee Tebow was "ok" with Peyton coming in for a visit. Only about 10 QB's in the league would have the right to be pissed about it. Tebow isn't one of them.

This. Then we get Manning, Teblow goes to Jacksonville, and Denver ends up asking Orton back but he wants none of it. Palko Gon' get paiiid.

Heat as in what, angry calls into radio stations? Things will move on and fade away. Tebow will reach down and be a big man, both because he is and he also has a little part of him that needs it for his ego. Yes he does have one and I am not hating.

I doubt Tebow does anything but take the higher road.

[KCrockaholic]

I wish Tebow would go to Jacksonville. I might actually like him a little bit if he went there....

But as long as he's wearing that ****ing donkey I want him to die, and fail. Not in that order. And yes he does suck. Still.

It's hard to be respected as the leader of the team
when they go from Weedin to Peyton in a lear jet trip

EDIT: & you got two team members suing the league
because the league wanted you(Tebow) to win instead of taking the punishment then

[Strongside]

I think we should all be lobbying Tebow to use his insider relationship with the man upstairs to get Manning to the Chiefs. He gets to keep his job, and the media leaves him alone for a while. Plus, God owes us big time.
