NFL Free Agent Rumors: Latest News on Peyton Manning Sweepstakes

Peyton Manning should really get his own TV channel because we have seen enough of him driving from airports and meeting with teams to fill a season. Here is the latest on the greatest free agent on the market. 

We have ourselves a Final Four, and it doesn't involve Kentucky or Dick Vitale screaming in our ears. It's the teams that Manning has visited and is most likely fond of signing with. 

Here is the latest on the seasoned vet that would make any of the following clubs contenders. 

ESPN has a report on Manning and his recent meeting with the Tennessee Titans. They are flying up the list as a dark horse for his services. 

"

A group of Tennessee Titans executives have returned to Nashville with Peyton Manning for a meeting with the free agent on the team's home turf....

They returned to the team's headquarters where the Titans will try to convince Manning to sign with Tennessee.

Manning has not eliminated any of the teams with which he has previously met -- the Denver Broncos, Arizona Cardinals, or Miami Dolphins, sources told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen, nor has he closed the door on possibly meeting with other teams.

"

The report also states Manning has not worked out for any team, nor does he plan to in any of these meetings. 

He will, however, consider working out for the teams that he considers finalists. That last part leads me to believe a decision could be ways off as Manning will still whittle the field of hungry teams down before he decides. 

Teams like the Dolphins are no doubt eager as they also look to Matt Flynn as a quarterback, a player that may be gone in a week. 

Another key part of the report is the following: 

"

Some teams that have reviewed his medical records and observed extensive video of recent throwing sessions appear satisfied with his physical status, both in neck stability and arm strength, and may not require him to work out. 

"

This is the first clear sign that Manning can deliver a winner for 2012, and that makes him the most valuable free agent in recent memory. 

The clamor for his services will continue, with the Titans getting their turn to make an otherworldly pitch. 

The Titans' pitch will no doubt be tempting to the former Tennessee quarterback. The Broncos, Dolphins and Cardinals can officially hold their breath for the time being.
