Free agent Brandon Stokley and good friend of Peyton Manning will make a visit to the Denver Broncos today.
Lets not forget Stokley was previously with the Bronocs when he had made the amazing immaculate deflection catch off a Leon Hall tipped ball and took 87 yards for a TD.
The Skinny: Peyton Manning loves Stokely’s route running and it was Stokely who was working out with Manning while at Duke University. If anything Stokley provides Manning with a mentor for the other Broncos receivers. He can defintely teach the younger guys how Manning likes routes to be run.

When you sign a guy by the name of Peyton Manning, certain things come with the territory. Prime time television. Right now the Broncos are preparing themselves to play in a schedule full of prime time games.
According to the Denver Post, there’s a strong chance the Broncos will be chosen to start off the season for NBC’s “Sunday Night Football” on September 9th.
The Broncos have a good feeling that the Networks will be lining up to have them featured, so Broncos fans don’t worry about missing a game this season, cause there will be ample opportunity to see your favorite team.
“Our fans should get ready for more night games,” Broncos president Joe Ellis told The Post. “Home and road.”
The Skinny: Last season the Broncos only played in two prime time games, once in week 1 and in week 11. The league missed out on Peyton last season, and this season the NFL will be sure to make up for time lost. I can’t lie…I’m excited to see Peyton play even as an Eagles fan!

Titans have strengthened their offensive line by signing offenisve guard Steve Hutchinson to a three-year deal worth $16 million dollars.
It looks like Titans have made it a priority to boost the interior of the offensive line. By signing Hutchinson, its a major upgrade over Titans current guards in Jake Scott and Leroy Harris. If you look deeper into the situation ESPN’s John Clayton believes that Hutchinson holds a clue to where Peyton will sign. Both Peyton Manning and Hutchinson share the same agent who is Tom Condon.
The Skinny: Peyton Manning may have had concerns regarding the offensive line before signing with Tennessee, and it looks like the Titans are down to do whatever it takes for him to sign. Whether its offering a “contract for life” Bud Adams looks like he’s closer and closer to landing Peyton Manning.

Peyton Manning Has Interest in Texans?

Bob Allen of KTRK-TV is reporting that Peyton Manning has real interest in playing for the Texans next season.
“Someone I know who is close friends with the Manning family says Peyton is definitely interested in possibly coming to the Texans,” writes Allen. Allen adds that Manning “wants to play on a team that has a chance of going to a Super Bowl,” and the Texans fit that criterion. “I know for a fact that he does have a definite interest in the Texans,” concludes Allen.
Down to Two?
The biggest question looming in the NFL right now is what is going to happen with Peyton Manning. The Super Bowl was held in Indianapolis this past week and as we all know, Colts owner Jim Irsay has been quite vocal over the fact that he and Peyton will sit down to discuss the situation.
The way I see it there are only a few scenario’s that make sense. First, the reason we believe Peyton will no longer be in Indianapolis.
Peyton signed his contract early in the season, in July of 2011 he signed a deal for reported $90 Million. He is due $28 million on February 8th and Tom Condon said recently that the contract is the contract, which is a pretty firm stance that they aren’t willing to re-negotate. Now the wrinkle is that NFL rules state that a Player can not redo a contract in the same NFL calendar year it was signed. Therefor, Peyton would have to rip up his current deal and agree to a new contract with a new date “pushing back” the bonus date. However that can’t happen until March 13th, so Peyton would have to be cut on the 8th and have a “good faith” agreement that he and Colts will work something out in Free Agency if Indianapolis doesn’t give him the $28 Million that is due tomorrow. Most believe, including us, that Peyton will not be back with the team. Read more
Peyton Plans to Play!

“I have no plans on doing that,” Peyton said yesterday “All the other talk, it is what it is. But my plan hasn’t changed. I’m on track with what the doctors have told me to do. I’m doing that, I’m rehabbing hard and I’m enjoying this week.”
Peyton talks Colts!
By Steve O’Reilly
One of the reality’s of this business is that time waits for no one and neither do NFL teams. While many people believe that you shouldn’t lose your job to injury, each case is different in and of itself. When you combine the magnitude of factors surrounding Peyton Manning you can see how this needs to be handled with kit cloves.
First you look at what he has accomplished and what he means to the organization, next you look at his physical health and what he can still bring to the table. After that you have to notice the 28 Million dollars he is due in March then the fact the team does have the 1st Pick in the NFL draft and the best QB prospect to come down the pipe in a long time. So what do you do? Read more
