Dungy: Manning does not want to play for an NFC East team

[Reality]

Tony Dungy, Manning's former coach with the Colts who is now an NBC analyst, said Wednesday in an interview with ESPN Radio's "Mike and Mike in the Morning" that Manning will consider signing anywhere except with an NFC East team, where he would have to challenge his brother Eli for a division title and playoff spot.

"I don't think he'd want to be in direct competition for a playoff spot against the Giants," Dungy said, adding that he believes Manning can run any style of offense but that "managing the expectations will be the biggest issue" for the quarterback.

Poor Foreskins.

Now hopefully the Browns get RG3 and the plan for the Foreskins to still suck will be complete.

Thats all well and good that Dungy said this now where does Manning actually come out and say that?

Just means that Danny Boy has to dig deep and money whip Peyton.

There was never any way he was going to play for the Commanders. He would have to play Romo, Eli and Vick a combined 6 times a season and the division is way to competitive. He also has to risk knocking his brother out of contention. There is nothing the Commanders offer over anyone else.

Been saying this all along.

Right. It's a case of respecting his brother's turf.

I guess nobody is happier than Jason Hatcher.

Go ahead and just say it Peyton,,,, You don't want to play for team were former All Pro's turn into useless imitations of their former selves.

Fantastic news and makes sense

Peyton is a classy guy no?

Also 100% LOL to the "Don't want to follow Bruce Smith, Deion Sanders etc... to Skins purgatory"

I can see why brothers wouldn't want to play each other regularly though
