The waiver wire?

Is it possible that we're all missing something significant here?

Does Manning have to CLEAR waivers? If so, that makes things interesting because a team COULD just claim him and pay him under his current contract, right?

If we were willing to absorb his existing contract, we effectively eliminate the Seahawks, Jets, Cardinals, and everybody except Washington and Miami because they have priority over us.

That also means that if Miami, for example, decides they want him no matter what, we'll never get a shot at him.

Sounds like it so the Chiefs should go for it. :D

Reggie Wayne gets animated about the possibility of playing with Peyton in Miami

It has been reported that receiver Reggie Wayne would be interested in signing with the Dolphins. On Wednesday, Reggie Wayne said for himself that, if that’s where Peyton lands, that’s where Reggie would like to be.

“I could see it,” Wayne told Michael Irvin of WQAM radio in Miami. “I’m definitely not opposed to it, you know? He’s a great worker, and I consider myself a great worker. And when you put great workers together, good things happen. Me being in his trail going to Miami? I would love it. I would definitely love it. I am totally available. My phone is working. Make sure you put that out there, my phone is working. I paid my bills ahead of time, just so we have no problems. So I am ready for anything that comes right now.”

If the written words don’t convey it, Wayne became more animated and excited the more he talked about it. He became even more animated and excited once he discussed the possibility of a football version of LeBron James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh: Peyton Manning, Reggie Wayne, and Brandon Marshall.

“It can definitely be dangerous,” Wayne said. “It can truly be dangerous, if they put us all together. The league might not want that, Mike. They might not want that. They might not want to see that. South Florida is already hot out here, baby, so you put us all together, it’ll be burning up.”

Irvin kept pushing, and Reggie kept gushing.

“It’s be great, it’d be fun,” Wayne said. “Exciting. Now you got me visualizing it. I see the visual, it is there. I see it. It would be great. It would definitely be a fun time, and an outstanding journey in South Florida.”

Wayne isn’t available to be signed by another team for six days. Manning can officially be signed as of 4:00 p.m. ET. Don’t be surprised if, wherever they land, they’ll be together again.

**** Miami.

That city is getting on my nerves.

Are we sure? Why would Schefter mention the waiver wire then?

Mr_Tomahawk 03-07-2012 03:05 PM

"The moment the Colts announced his release, Manning joined the ranks of unrestricted players. He can sign a contract once he hits the waiver wire Wednesday afternoon. So while full-fledged free agency doesn't begin until March 13, Manning is free now. Manning's agent, Tom Condon, will have his cell phone fully charged."

Miami Herald believes the #Cardinals are the #Dolphins biggest threat in the race to sign Peyton Manning

Under a "waiver", the player's existing contract is up for grabs, right?

The Colts just said, Manning is no longer a Colt because they chose not to pay his contract ... ergo, no contract. Therefore, no waiver. Right?

He doesn't need to CLEAR waivers though.

Ah ... that makes sense.
