Cyrus Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 @adamschefter: Filed to ESPN: Denver and Petyon Manning reached agreement on a five-year, $96 million contract. Manning introduced as QB at 3 pm ET Thank goodness he's not here, it would have been a disaster. It was a terrible plan from the start and Manning was obviously looking to play for more than 2-3 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titansfan920 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Let me get this straight? He signed something like a 5 year $90 million contract BEFORE his injury, has a serious neck injury and after you hope he has recovered you sign him to an even BIGGER one? Awesome plan Denver.

I'd assume there are clauses in there to protect them against re-injury and I'd assume there's not as much guaranteed. but yeah, that's still a hell of a lot. I'm over it. I really like Locker and I'm glad the Titans wanted to keep him either way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
prine06 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I like the deal for Denver, I mean they won a playoff game with Tim Tebow?! Would it have been unrealistic for them to make it to the SB with a healthy Payton Manning? As for the money, there supposedly covered against his injury (which I've heard/read isn't something that is reoccuring when it is fully healed). As for us, we just aren't in the position Denver is. If our defense was in place to make a SB run then I think pursing Manning would be logical. But not just because our owner fears he is dieing soon.

From what I've heard and read (not sure how accurate it is) the neck injury isn't supposed to be problematic once its healed fully. Meaning your not more prone to injure it again than before the surgeries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reo Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 when it is fully healed what made me a little more nervous toward the end was reading that he wasn't fully back yet... just close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

scine09 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Is there even a guarantee that he'll be ready opening day? I also find it funny that there's an extra million than what was originally reported. Manning HAD to get the extra million. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
prine06 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 what made me a little more nervous toward the end was reading that he wasn't fully back yet... just close. I Agree, Im glad for Denver, but relieved its not our problem to worry about. Watching Locker last year he has the look and feel of everything you'd want your QB to be. And I think it would have been a major setback to have him sit more than another year behind someone, regardless if its a healthy (past his prime) Manning or not.

CMJ Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Lost in all this, is how disappointed Jamiel must be. He was so excited about Manning potentially signing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonboy Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Any word on guaranteed money yet? Thats what matters. There's no way they pay him that much over 5 years. PFT just posted an article. They find it odd the guaranteed money isn't mentioned and that it may even be a 1 year "prove it" deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree in part but I don't think it would've hurt Locker at all to sit behind Manning for a year or more. Personally I think he should play but I don't think sitting for another year or 2 would hurt him either. Pretty sure he beats out Hass though.

scine09 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 In essence it sounds like the Broncos can cut him after year 1 with no real hit if Manning isn't physically able to play because of his neck. I wonder what would happen if Manning were to, say, tear an ACL or break his fibula. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a big chunk of change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
