Seahawks willing to spend big for Peyton Manning
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com...eyton-manning/
Report: Seahawks willing to spend big for Peyton Manning Posted by Michael David Smith on March 7, 2012, 9:18 AM EST The NFL’s wealthiest owner may be willing to give a sizable chunk of his wealth to Peyton Manning. The Seattle Seahawks are planning to “come out checkbook blazing” for Manning, a source tells Rich Cimini of ESPNNewYork.com, who is also reporting that the Jets will check Manning out. Seahawks owner Paul Allen has a net worth estimated at $13.5 billion, making him about $10 billion richer than the second-wealthiest NFL owner, Stephen Ross of the Dolphins. So from Allen’s perspective, money will not be an issue. The Seahawks are right in the middle of the NFL in terms of how much cap space they have available, so getting a deal done under the cap shouldn’t be an issue either. Whether the Seahawks are the right fit for Manning from a football perspective remains to be seen, but from a financial perspective, it sounds like the Seahawks would be willing to make him a competitive offer. |

Doesn't matter. They stink and Peyton wouldn't want to get beat up against that 49er D.
Scratch them off. |

Offensively... they need a lot and I don't see this happening. Manning will want a nice contract, but he won't follow $ - he wants to win another title and he has a small window.

I'd agree, but I think the money needs to be at least comparable. If Team X has a deal that has substantially more guaranteed dollars....

Yup...anyone remember Joe Montana? He had a better offer from the Cardinals and came here.

I definitely think he wants to be paid accordingly... but, I also think he would take less $ overall to go to a better team. Plus, he's already said he would take an incentive based deal - so less up front and lots with incentives.
SEA leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion... and are they really going to offer up exponentially more $ than another team? Possibly, but I don't see Peyton chasing the $. The dude has more $ than 4 generations of Mannings could squander, he won't be cheap, but he's not chasing coin.

Why was Allen's net worth even mentioned?
It's not like they can circumvent the salary cap and pay Manning out of pocket.

The salary cap can always be circumvented to a degree. Turn all base salaries into multi year signing bonuses. You need a cash rich owner for that.
