Peyton Manning is Working Out with the Duke Football Team

All, NFL Jason McIntyre February 9th. 2012, 9:29am

Insert your own Peyton Manning-is-at-an-ACC-level jokes here:

After a tweet from a Duke football player Wednesday, NBC-17 has confirmed that NFL quarterback Peyton Manning is in the Triangle working out with the Duke football team.
Matt Skura, a center for the Blue Devils, tweeted: “Got to stretch next to Peyton Manning today and say hello.”
NBC-17 has confirmed that Manning is working out with Duke’s football team. Current Duke Head Coach David Cutcliffe was Manning’s offensive coordinator at the University of Tennessee in the 1990s and remains a close family friend.

So, how long will it take for Jim Irsay to tweet out something in response to this report? Can the Colts just cut Peyton so that the Ravens, 49ers, Cardinals and everyone else can start courting the Hall of Famer? [NBC 17 via Weather Wes]

This is unfortunate. You’d think he’d be smarter than this and work out with the Carolina team. Starting to wonder if he’s losing it upstairs.

I’m confused…so Duke is picking up that $28 million bonus he’s due in a few weeks?

good for Manning, and good for football in general. Somebody is going to win a serious prize here (and it’s probably going to be Peyton Manning). Woe is the team that signs him to an incentive laden contract. He’ll throw 9 touchdowns against terrible teams.

I don’t understand. If it’s incentive laden, he only gets paid if he performs well, right?

At least he is not working out at some strip mall next to a chinese take-out place, like Daunte Culpepper.

Everyone realizes he’s working out with Duke because of Cutcliffe, right?

I don’t think working out with a one back spread team would be beneficial to him in any way.

he’ll hit those incentives easily by running up the score against the worst teams.

this clearly means he’s heading to the Seattle Seahawks

I feel bad for Cutcliffe. Ole Miss hired him to get Eli. Then when he left, they fired him. Of course, Karma has taken care of the rest.

so I guess I”d like to transfer my woe to the crappy teams on whatever schedule he ends up with, as opposed to the team who signs him.

Manning is NOT going to the 49ers. Sooner or later, you have to realize this.

I like the Chiefs idea. I know Brawny Tom would be beating that Seahawks drum.

cause there’s been so much turnover at Tennessee in the last 15 years that there are no coaches or administrators left that he knows…except for Pat Summitt.

Lately, Tennessee is where quarterbacks go to die.
At least, the ones who don’t go to LSU.

Huh? Cutcliffe was his QB coach at Tennessee.

One team I’m surprised not to hear more of is Seattle. They have Beast Mode at RB, a decent defense, rejuvenated Mike Williams, Sidney Rice and Golden Tate at WR. More importantly, there’s no QB controversy there if he goes. What, Chuck Whitehurst and Tarvaris Jackson are going to stand in Manning’s way?
Paul Allen has the money in his other back pocket to pay Manning if he wants. And, as we all know, the NFC West can be grabbed by any team. So why not the Seahawks?

This is true. Alex was caddying for Coach Harbaugh at the Giants/Niners tourney the other day. Dude isn’t going anywhere.

San Francisco makes more sense than Seattle, because their climates are so different.
