colts saving 10.4 million in cap room by releasing Manning

Andrew Brandt ‏- Manning Cap number is unamortized portion of 20M bonus - 16M - minus credit for nonexercised option proration - 5.4M - to equal 10.4M

Agreed, but primarily for the first reason. Players only go to Washington for the money. They don't go for football. That's the problem with an owner like Snyder. See Haynesworth, Albert.

And in the end thats all that matters. but here is the thing this ****ing media ppl need to consider, the Dolphins don't have the cap space. How the **** are they going to sign
Peyton?

I don't know anything about cap space, but I think the Dolphins have less of a chance of winning than the Chiefs, and I think Manning is competitive enough that his decision will be based more on that than stuff like weather or money.

Are they competitive? I'm not seeing it that much.

Good competitive team, but I agree with your reason. X and O guys don't play for Rex Ryan. Guys who are borderline out of control play for Rex Ryan. Manning won't want to end his career on that note.

I think they're a reasonable possibility. Football town that's serious about it. But again, how competitive are they?

A good defensive minded coach who can allow Manning to do his things much like Dungy did with him in Indy. Peyton has to look at the chiefs and admit they look attractive. Chiefs give Manning flexibility, the freedom to do what he wants, and the best all round team around him. The only people who could screw this up, is ownership and Pioli . If they are passive in their approach in pursuing Manning then **** those motherfuckers for real.

Manning has to be looking at the Chiefs as a great opportunity. Weak division, went to the playoffs last year with Cassel, and almost made the playoffs this year with more knee injuries than Gale Sayers and Billy Sims combined. You've got a 6+ ypc running back, a 1,200 yard receiver for Matt Cassel, a first-round rookie entering his second year, and Breaston playing the slot. Then add in a good defense and a football town that brings it to the stadium. I honestly think we're his best chance to get back to the Super Bowl, and he knows that he can come here and own the town. That's not going to happen in a Miami or a New York or an Arizona.

20m would require 12500 season tickets to break even, assuming avg ticket is 1600

CoMoChief 03-06-2012 07:09 PM

i will flip out if we don't sign him.

BossChief 03-06-2012 07:11 PM

Trust Vegas money.

Going from a 50-1 down to a 4-1 takes some legit information to force that much of a swing.

We have the money and roster to compete and the AFCW would be nearly a guaranteed playoff spot each year he would play for us.

CMON CLARK, write that open check for PM and dump that cheap moniker.

You would think he would choose those qualities over the "...but we have nice weather. -Dolphins."

He woudl definitely fill Arrowhead. Shit, people might start tailgating the day after we sign him.

stonedstooge 03-06-2012 07:11 PM

Chiefs were 7th in total attendance last year according to an ESPN chart

MahiMike 03-06-2012 07:12 PM

It's a prop bet. Vegas only cares about not losing money. They don't give a shit about even betting on props.

stonedstooge 03-06-2012 07:14 PM

72,082 per game. Not sure what Arrowhead holds now

Rooster 03-06-2012 07:14 PM

Manning and Saturday looking at a house in Olathe per unknown source.

O.city 03-06-2012 07:16 PM

When do you think he will be signed by someone else? Is this gonna be drawn out?
