Peyton Manning Rumors: Power Ranking Titans and More Destinations for Star QB

NFL free agency is set to start today, and Peyton Manning still has several realistic options for his new team. But who's the best?

According to ESPN's Chris Mortensen, Manning isn't done with his "official visits" yet. 

"

"Among the coaches Peyton Manning plans to personally meet with during the next three days are Joe Philbin of the Miami Dolphins and Mike Munchak of the Tennessee Titans, according to sources."

"

The Titans will serve as Manning's fourth visit, as he has already seen the Dolphins, Denver Broncos and Arizona Cardinals (Is Manning's situation starting to remind anyone of college coaches going after a high-school recruit? I digress...)

So assuming Manning's four official visits mean those are his "Top 4 Schools" (though that's just speculation on my part), here's a quick look at the best situation for the future Hall of Famer...

4. Miami Dolphins

There were rumors yesterday—which were eventually proven false—that the Dolphins were no longer in the running. Even if they were proven false, you have to think that means Miami is cooling off on the idea of bringing Peyton's talents to South Beach. 

Even if they did want him, Miami plays in the NFC East, arguably the toughest division and football, and the Dolphins allowed their QB to be sacked 9.98 percent of the time last year, the worst in the NFL.

3. Denver Broncos

Whether or not it's justified, there are many people that love Tim Tebow. If Manning comes to Denver, he might get a little bit of resistance compared to other cities.

There won't be much, but those hardcore Tebow fans can be brutal.

Like Miami, the Broncos were also bad at protecting the QB last year, as they allowed a sack percentage of 8.97.

Demaryius Thomas is a great up-and-coming receiver, but he's nowhere near Larry Fitzgerald's or Kenny Britt's level.

2. Tennessee Titans

The Titans threw the ball an amazing 61.79 percent of the time last year with Matt Hasselbeck and Jake Locker at the helm. If Manning was in time, they would really let it loose.

As far as the weapons around him, Manning would have plenty, although they aren't necessarily sure options. Chris Johnson is explosive as running backs can get, but he struggled all last year. Kenny Britt keeps looking like the next great receiver, but he can't avoid the IR. 

However, the Titans were one of the best teams in the league at protecting the QB last year (3rd to be exact), and Manning should enjoy a clean pocket behind Mr. Jake Long.

1. Arizona Cardinals.

The Cardinals play in the NFC West, arguably the softest division in the NFL, though it's getting better.

Larry Fitzgerald serves as one of the best wide receivers in the League and would make things very easy on Manning.

Arizona gave up just 5.2 yards per play on defense last year (10th best in the NFL) as it continues to be one of the more underrated defenses in the league.

And arguably the most important thing Arizona has going for it: the Cardinals play in a dome, which would serve as a comfortable spot for Manning, who needs to stay as healthy as possible.
