NoSaint Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 The decision of a Manning trade revolves around Manning himself. For there to be any discussion of a possible trade he would have to be willing to go to that team first. Polian wouldn't have to deal with Buffalo for manning because I'm sure he wouldn't waive his no trade clause to come here. Well, I think the logical answer is, in an effort to stick it to the polians he might really want to win in buffalo now.
CBD Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 So if my math is correct, that puts Manning to the Bills for 4-years left on his contract and the 4 year already paid by Irssay, and that leaves $60 million left on Manning contract the Bills would pick up in a straight up trade to Indy? Still not buying it, but if Manning is 80 - 90 100% come September I would seriously consider this trade? Not likely, hell not even remotely likely but hey ya never know I suppose? Tim- Peyton's contract: [x]7/30/2011: Signed five-year, $90 million contract. The deal contains $54.4 million guaranteed, including a $20 million signing bonus. 2011: $3.4 million (+ $3 million roster bonus), 2012: $7.4 million (+ $28 million option bonus due 3/8), 2013: $8.4 million, 2014: $9.4 million, 2015: $10.4 million, 2016: Free Agent http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/1493/peyton-manning He'll have been paid the $54.4M guaranteed through the option bonus that's due 3/8/12. So there will be 4 years $35.6M, all non-guaranteed, remaining on the contract. Not that this is at all likely.
gobillsinytown Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) As you know I live in Indiana which is usually a very good place to keep a low profile. In this case however it is one of those times where word gets around a small community quickly. I know someone who knows two of Irsay's daughters very well. My contact is reliable but I do not know Irsay's daughters. What I do know is that they like being around Hollywood types so I tend to believe the stories I'm hearing. Polian did not get dumped only because of the Manning thing alone. He got dumped for refusing to investigate all angles. Irsay wanted to pick up Manning's bonus as a show of thanks and good will. He wanted to then immediately trade Manning for a journeyman who could hold down the fort until Luck got good enough. Forever is a long time if you ask me, but I regress. There are 6 or 7 QBs who fit this scenario and you already guessed who one of them might be. Anyway, Irsay was quizzing Polian about the status and sensed Polian was lying to him. Although he was indeed trying to move Manning, he just faked it about actually speaking to the Bills about Fitz. Evidently he had all the details about Grossman, Orton, McCoy, Jackson, Moore, and Campbell/Palmer but was real thin about Fitz. As he drilled him it became clear that Polian's disdain for Wilson was still a major issue. Polian is also no fan of Nix but doesn't really hate him. Anyway the source says Irsay stormed from the meeting and was heard to say "We won't get fooled again....that's enough". When his daughter tried to calm him down Irsay said that Polian had made a trade for McCargo despite knowing about McCargo having a back back and also sucking. Polian did this to make sure Irsay would never deal with the Bills again but the whole thing backfired when Irsay found out. Fast forward to now and Irsay had had enough. He feels bad about the whole Manning thing but has to do what he has to do. Evidently he told one of his daughters "No one knows what its like to be the bad man, to be the sad man....". He is really depressed about the whole thing. He isn't 100% sure about the Manning/Fitz trade but wants to investigate it. He sees it as one of the top three scenarios. The fact that Polian got fired seems to back up all of these rumors/accounts of the behind the scenes goings on. Wow it would be cool to see Manning in Buffalo. Best. Post. Ever. Can the mods make a "Hall Of Fame" sticky? Edited February 13, 2012 by gobillsinytown

Polian wouldn't have to deal with Buffalo for manning because I'm sure he wouldn't waive his no trade clause to come here. Polian didn't have a deal with anyone for Manning. He was just investigating deals, but not enough of them. Then he got his walking papers. Irsay may or may not be working on a deal.
All_Pro_Bills Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I suspect the Bills have no interest in Manning and Manning has no interest in the Bills. We went this route with Bledsoe a decade ago and that worked out well. For about 8 games. Let's not entertain repeating history.
Nostradamus Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Wow! Nix would be a pinball wizard if he can pull this one off.
Doc Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Wait a minute! You live in Indiana? Do you know BF?
Best Player Available Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 How does his daughters being "Hollywood types" figure in this Dream? This may be the funniest BS since the super bowl ended and we were going to trade for Gronk!
Live&DieBillsFootball Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 All I know is what the Irsay girls said. Do you know if the Irsay girls know Pegula's daughters? Maybe Indy doesn't want to deal with Ralph, but this must mean that Pegula is buying the Bills very soon and I'm sure that they would deal with Pegula especially if the daughters are friends. Pegula as owner and Manning at QB. We really need to make this happen, Maybe you can pass on the Pegula daughter's twitter account to the Irsay daughters. It would be awesome if this scenario played out. Let me know what you hear from them as I might want to go to Vegas and put money on the Bills to win next years Super Bowl while the odds are still long.

Alaska Darin Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Irsay's Wikipedia Irsay is known for quoting rock lyrics and for his love of "The Who". Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Championship!
MarkyMannn Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 His daughters are not Hollywood types. I heard this about the Irsay girls: She goes, squeeze me, come on and squeeze me Mama's got a squeeze box Daddy never sleeps at night She goes in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out
ieatcrayonz Posted February 13, 2012 Author Posted February 13, 2012 (edited) Irsay's Wikipedia Irsay is known for quoting rock lyrics and for his love of "The Who". Hmmmmmmmmmmm. Championship! Holy crap. I didn't know the quotes were from The Who because I don't listen to garbage like that but the one about bad man/sad man sounded weird and familiar. Then everyone on here starts making The Who jokes and it clicks. I knew my source was good but this only reinforces that it came from Irsay's daughters. Anyway, it is still only investigation by the Colts into possible trades. I might make a few calls later to see if there is anything new as Polian got fired a while back. Maybe the new guy or Irsay has made progress since then. Edited February 13, 2012 by ieatcrayonz
KollegeStudnet Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 I believe you to a point, but we will see if Manning gets his bonus money or not!
cantankerous Posted February 13, 2012 Posted February 13, 2012 Crayonz -- Who are you? I really want to know. An idiot who thinks he's funny.
