Rams Open To Pursuing Peyton Manning If QB Doesn’t Retire

And two, even if he was certain Super Bowl 50 would be “his last rodeo” as he said at midfield to New England coach Bill Belichick following the AFC Championship, he wouldn’t want to go through those farewell ceremonies.

ESPN.com’s Adam Schefter reported Wednesday the Rams have discussed the possibility of bringing Manning aboard for next season-provided the 39-year-old veteran still wants to play.

That being said, it would be a great move for the Rams and for the National Football League to have Manning in Los Angeles next season.

Manning still is under contract to the Broncos for another year, but most around the league do not expect him to return to Denver next season, if he returns at all.

The cancer survivor interviewed Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning live on the NFL Network.

Is it possible that Peyton Manning could be the first quarterback of the returning Rams? What the Rams need at quarterback is a short- and long-term solution that can help them win and thus sustain those ticket sales for years to come. I feel like I have a good understanding of the significance of playing in the 50th Super Bowl. If not? the next few weeks after the Super Bowl will be another eventful one for the Broncos. If Manning played, he would immediately improve that group, and suddenly the Rams look like a pretty solid threat in the NFC West. While Keenum may well be a decent backup to have around, can anyone really see the guy leading the Rams to a Super Bowl? The team finished No. 32 in total offense, but were 7-9 on the season, landing the team the No. 15 pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.

Peyton to L.A.is an extreme long shot.

If you ask Clyde Christensen, the Dolphins current offensive coordinator and one of Manning’s former coaches from his Indianapolis days, the Broncos quarterback isn’t stepping away. Averaging only 187 yards per game and woeful quarterback rating of just 69.0, the fanfare with which Nick Foles arrived with the Rams had been well and truly silenced by the time he was benched in November.
