Whoa, whoa, wait...
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.
