Retired NFL quarterback Peyton Manning is one of the biggest names on the free agent market. For broadcasters/analysts in the
making
Sam Shields Jersey , that is.The future Hall of Famer retired from football two years ago, after winning Super Bowl 50 with the Denver Broncos. He
hasn't taken up any other professions since, but both Fox Sports and ESPN
approached 'The Sheriff' and offered him contracts to be an NFL analyst.But
according to Andrew Marchand of the New York Post, Manning chose not to accept
the offer from Fox. Earlier this month, he also rejected a chance to be the next
NFL analyst for Monday Night Football
Bob Lilly Jersey , after Jon Gruden signed a $100 million contract to become head coach of the Oakland Raiders.CBS Sports hired former Dallas Cowboys
quarterback Tony Romo to replace Phil Simms as the main NFL color analyst,
becoming a broadcast partner with the legendary Jim Nantz. Romo became an
instant hit in the booth, which could explain why ESPN and Fox went hard after
Manning.But unfortunately for both networks, Manning isn't ready to come out of
retirement and entertain millions on a weekly basis.Not only would he be a
hilarious personality (see his Saturday Night Live skits and epic commercials),
but Manning also had a reputation for reading defenses like nobody else during
his playing days. He'd bring tremendous in-game analysis
Jamie Meder Jersey , but the man simply doesn't feel ready. Many assumed that Manning would go into coaching or even take a front office job shortly
after he retired. But unlike many other legendary athletes, Manning has opted to
stay patient and enjoy retirement before finding a new line of work.It's
probably only a matter of time until Manning one day gets back into the NFL
world. The only question is whether it'll be as an analyst, coach, executive or
something else.
The Aaron Donald deal indeed seems to be pushing the Khalil Mack situation to a head. But not in the way many thought.Many thought that Mack and the Raiders were simply waiting for Donald and the Rams to work out a new contract, with Mack and the Raiders using that deal as
the template for his. However
Kevin Zeitler Jersey , that’s never been the case; Mack and the Raiders aren’t and haven’t been talking, in months.Donald’s deal has had a separate impact on Mack. It’s allowed other teams to figure out what Mack would take, allowing those who are interested in paying
Mack what he wants to begin figuring out what it would take to get the Raiders
to trade him.Indeed, Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that a “robust” trade market has developed for Mack, with the chances of a trade “very real.”Last weekend
Pernell McPhee Jersey , PFT reported that four teams had serious interest in Mack, and that the Raiders hadn’t slammed the door on a deal. This weekend,
that door could swing wide open, with Mack exiting Oakland for a new
team.
