The Manning Crashers
As the Peyton Manning sweepstakes come to an end, the stories of his time during free agency will not. Officially reported yesterday by Michael Lombardi and Jason La Canfora (of the NFL Network), apparently when the Seattle Seahawks found out that Manning had a meeting in Denver, they flew a crew of team officials out to Denver to try and woo the 4 time MVP.
Manning focused on his Bronco meeting did not re-schedule any time to accommodate the Seahawks.
The Seahawks eventually ended up signing Matt Flynn (the Green Bay Packers former backup QB) this past Sunday, to compete with Tavaris Jackson this upcoming season.
Lombardi dubbed the Seahawks "The Manning Crashers" yesterday on the NFL Networks coverage of the Manning signing.
Manning / Bronco's, close to finalizing a deal
Peyton Manning's agent Tom Condon and the Denver Broncos are currently working on finalizing a deal that would bring the 4 time league MVP to Denver.
After spending 14 seasons with the Colts, Manning was released earlier this month before he was due to receive a 28 million dollar roster bonus. Manning did not play this past season due to recovery after his 4th neck surgery.
Manning's new contract is rumored to be a 5 year deal worth 95 million.
The Bronco's have scheduled a tentative press conference for this afternoon, where they are expected to formally announce the signing.
Sucks to be Tim Tebow right now...
*UPDATE: The deal is now final. 5 year deal - 96 M. Press conference at 3 PM today on the NFL Network.*
