abc13 - peyton wants to be a texan coming up in sports

[El Tejano]

Perhaps trading or releasing Schaub frees up some money?

[srrono]

Mannings last screw you to the Texans sign with with Texans eat up cap space have Texans trade away Schaub and then Manning retires due to injury ultimately taking the Texans out of playoff contention. Now this is a worst case scenario.Best case Manning comes and leads Texans to promised land.

The only way Schaub goes anywhere is if he's forced to retire from the lisfranc injury ala Warrick Dunn.

And it's not because they need the money.

Which ever team signs Manning needs to realize they aren't getting the SB Manning from a few years ago. They are getting the injured neck, hasn't played in a year and is just now starting to throw again Manning whose best years are way behind him.

If the colts didnt owe manning this huge lump sum payment coming up the colts and manning wouldnt even be a topic. The current contract is why this is coming up at all

28 Million reasons that Manning being released is a topic of discussion.

If it was just the money, they would have restructured his contract.
The Colts would be willing to pay more than most teams for a fully healthy Manning. I don't know why people are so anxious dump a good younger QB to take the old injured scraps of another team.

If he wants to play for the minimum for the chance to get another ring, great. If not, no way do we completely hamstring our flexibility this year to sign him. It's just not worth the huge risk considering his injury status. Can you imagine the blowback if we trade Schaub and sign Manning and then he gets hurt in the 1st game and we're back with TJ for another season. We'd never recover and this is not going to happen.

Okay I will add another detail that was missed. The colts have to decide now if they want to pay Manning 28MM right now and then see if he can fully recover oh yeah and they are going to draft Luck.

However something makes me think that Manning is saying this so that The Colts don't release him.

I wonder what it is about the words "rookie mistakes" that some seem incapable of comprehending?

[False Start]

As much as he wants to come here, I just dont see it happening. Kubiak is a loyal guy, I cant see him telling Schaub hit the bricks.

I personally have not seen enough from Yates to think he is going to be a top QB next year. He would really need to improve

And there are some. Why would that be illogical, given additional experience and how Kubiak works with quarterbacks?

Kubiak is grooming Yates to be our future starting QB, and he will be the starter next season when Schaub can't go with that foot.

If Schaub isnt able to start the season, Yates will not be the starter

This is what I think every team is afraid of. And I just don't think the risk is worth it. Especially when there's no promise he'll come back physically able to do what he used to do.

Plus, will Kubiak really give him as much control as he wants?

Who will be then? Please don't say Leinart.

For me it's not the rookie mistakes. It's the sophmore slump that lingers around the corner.
