Peyton Manning Rumors: Power Ranking QB's Final 4 Destinations

Peyton Manning has reportedly narrowed his free agency decision down to four teams, according to Mike Klis of The Denver Post.

These lucky franchises are hoping the former Colts QB chooses them and instantly changes their fortunes. And all four teams provide a number of unique positives and negatives and likely have a relatively equal chance of landing the future Hall of Famer.

Let’s take a look at which fit would be best.

4. Arizona Cardinals

The team out in the desert is one option and has revived the career of one older, MVP-caliber QB before with Kurt Warner.

However, outside of Larry Fitzgerald, the team doesn’t have a ton of weapons on offense and the line is a mess. With such an atrocious pass protection, Manning cannot risk his health and future by signing with the Cards.

3. Miami Dolphins

The ‘Fins are a compelling choice for Manning, but the AFC East is an extremely tough conference and he will have to battle the always-powerful Patriots, feisty Jets and rebuilding Bills six times a season.

It will be tough for him to win the division and lock up a postseason spot regularly if he chooses this destination.

2. Denver Broncos

Denver is a great city for Manning to wind up in, and the Broncos have a ton of young pieces that just went on a solid playoff run.

However, inexperience may hurt their chances of getting this veteran and he would be a polarizing figure as the man who stole Tim Tebow’s job.

1. Tennessee Titans

This is the best spot for Manning and just makes sense. He would stay in the AFC South and be able to get revenge on the Colts twice a season for cutting him.

He also knows the personnel and defenses in the division and would have no problem making the Titans a perennial contender for not only the AFC South title, but the Super Bowl.
