Tomorrow is the day the all of America has been waiting for. Tomorrow is the decision of if Payton Manning stays a Colt or not. Sources tell ESPN that tomorrow the Colts owner will be telling the rest of the world what they already knew was coming. Manning will be released and able to market himself to what ever team he so chooses. The only question is now, where will he end up?
ESPN's Adam Schefter has narrowed it down to 4 teams. Miami, Washington, Arizona, and New York Jets are all possible landing points for Manning. The only problem now is, no one knows what's going on inside Manning's head as to where he wants to play. There are two that stick out in my head as good fits for Peyton. Miami is the first choice. They had a good year last year, they have put together a team that can be great, and have a lot of talent that everyone knows Manning can work with. The last thing is Miami has been like a second home to Manning. He has a residence there, and I'm sure that the Dolphins will be doing everything in their power to get him there.
Washington is the next choice I see Manning ending up. Colts owner says that Manning is more of a politician rather than a football player, and the Redskins can make a pitch that they can make him the most powerful man in Washington, other than the President.
Out of these two I see Miami having the edge over the Skins for a few reasons. One, Peyton already has a home there, so it's not like he would have really move to a new city. Two the team has both the financial aspect that he is looking for, and they also have the talent that Manning can do some damage with. With all these factors falling into place, I see Manning "Taking his talents to South Beach".
The only thing we can do now is sit and wait for his decision on where he will play next season. I don't see this being a long drawn out thing, but I do see Peyton taking his time and making the best decision for him and his career.
Until next time,
You keep doing what you do, and I'll keep you up to date with everything sports
