Ray, speaking as a very longtime Colts fan — and there’s not many of us out there — I knew this day was coming. No matter what Peyton or Colts owner Jim Irsay say, it was about the money. Salary and cap space. We’ll be better next year than people expect, and we’ll contend again in two or three seasons with Luck as our latest franchise quarterback. But here’s something to remember about sports, if not life itself: Whenever someone says it’s not about the money, it’s always about the money. Always.

I don’t see him going to Washington or Cleveland. I’d be surprised if he landed in the same division as Eli, and the Browns are just too far away from contending. Look for the Redskins try to outbid Cleveland for RGIII. That’s going to be tough, though. The Browns can offer the Rams higher draft choices. Paul, give your team credit if they can get either guy.

i hope manning does not go to the redskins. they need to trade up past the browns to get RG3. brad johnson, shane matthews, mark brunnel, mcnabb and grossman all failed free agent signings. brunel was ok and jason campbell does not have the intelligence to be a franchise qb. RG3 has the tangibles and intangibles to be great. i need the browns to pick up manning

The past NFL season showed how much of an impact Peyton has on the Colts. Although a guy like Peyton is irreplaceable, Colts fans should see a blessing in disguise. The release of Peyton Manning is timed perfectly with the upcoming of Andrew Luck, probably the highest anticipated prospect for quite a while. As a Ravens fan, seeing Peyton with a different jersey is like seeing Ray Lewis in something other than black and purple. But I will continue to support one of the smartest players in our lifetime (even in a Jets jersey which makes me cringe). On a side note, I don’t see the Redskins passing on the oppurtuniy for RG3.
