Tempe, AZ: The release of 4-time NFL MVP quarterback and perennial forehead Peyton Manning by the Indianapolis Colts has sent shock-waves through the rest of the NFL as teams struggle to find their quarterbacks through trades, free 
agency, and more mock drafts than fantasy football has ever offered.
The issue has to do with the value of Peyton Manning: priceless. Gaining a true franchise, Hall-of-Fame quarterback from a team most believed would be his residence of retirement is a once in a generation chance, which last happened when the 49ers let Joe Montana go.
While many believed that the greatest contenders for signing Peyton Manning were Arizona, Miami, Washington, and the Seahawks, interest was sparked from all corners of the league. Even Bill Belichick of the New England Patriots allegedly mentioned that having both of the arguable best quarterbacks in the league on the sidelines was a no-brainer. Salary-cap improvisations have already been enabled to make room for the quarterback’s required salary, as well as his other cut teammates from the Indianapolis Colts.
After visiting with the Denver Broncos and Arizona Cardinals, the plan became clear: try out every team over the course of the 2012 season.
“Peyton Manning has a unique style as a coaching quarterback,” stated NFL public access sportscaster Jon Meddon. “Trying out all of these teams for a season would allow him to see what team he and his playbook would gel with best.”
In order to fit in games with every team, Peyton would technically be playing for two teams at once, enabling an iron-man style of football where he would play quarterback on both sides of the ball.
“It just saves time to play it out this way,” explained Maddon. “If he went with one team a week, it would take him almost 2 seasons to find out which team he fits with best, even if he played in playoff games and the Super Bowl.”
Teams are so open to this set-up that they have already scrapped their own playbooks in order to pick-up Peyton Manning’s “If I Were Coach” book, an NFL-only textbook on how Peyton Manning leads an offense. While this may lead to the degradation of other quarterbacks and teams everywhere for years, the gamble would have a substantial payback.
“This is Peyton Manning we’re talking about,” stated Meddon. “Teams have offered their whole roster to acquire him from the Colts in past years. Think of this as a price reduction.”
