Most extraordinary part of Mannning's 18-mill avg deal is he pushed to be paid slightly less than Brady but @JimIrsay wouldn't hear it

Now listen here Peyton, you're gonna take these extra millions and you're gonna like it. End of discussion.

According to ESPN, Manning wanted to sign with the 49ers but Baalke wanted Larry Grant instead.

Manning can't complain... the guy has more money than he's ever dreamed of anyway. Just take into account his past contracts + bonuses + advertising.. s**t is ridiculous. I'm shocked he didn't sign a bigger deal though, even at his age

Manning is a class act. He gets it.

Yeah, when he was a kid and we were Super Bowl champs.

I think payton alone joing any team makes them a contender by default?

Actually I wouldn't want him. We need a lot more pieces than a QB to be a contender, and he is 35. We would have to spend every spare penny to land him, so there would be no money for anyone else. By the time the rest of the pieces are in place here he will be on his last legs.

This. I mean, he had every opportunity to get Manning and he didn't even go after him.
