Doesnt he have to clear waivers? Why wouldn't a team just pick up his contract? There is going to be a biddingnwar anyway, who know what it will cost to sign him. Might end up being very similar numbers. I'd just pick up the contract to ensure getting him.

Can we just have one big Manning thread instead of 25?
Thought that whenever a player was released, he went through waivers. This is how it's always worked...no?
Sounds like a good idea.

Here are the NFL Waiver rules:
Players that have less than four years of experience are “waived” — meaning a player has to clear the NFL waiver wire before becoming a free agent. When a player is placed on waivers, the other 31 teams have a day to place a claim on him. The team with the highest spot in the waiver order is then awarded that player. If no team makes a claim, that player is then a free agent and can sign with any team.
Players with more than four years experience are considered vested veterans, they are not subject to the waiver process. As soon as his release paperwork clears, he is free to sign with another team.
Manning has 14 years experience so is immediately a free agent.

Not as a vested veteran. After a certain amount of years no waivers are required.

IF AND WHEN HEALTHY...
Hey, if Kolb got 35 last season, Peyton deserves at least twice that!
For me it's easier to read 25 threads with 12 replies than one thread with 300 replies.
But I'm an old guy so....
im the same but also like guidelines like no new threads unless its worthy like the one from rotoworld saying manning is interested.
