Titans, Bud Adams Are Guaranteed to One-Up Broncos' Offer to Peyton Manning

Over the past few days, it has become apparent that Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams has made it his personal mission to bring free agent quarterback Peyton Manning to his team. 

Adams has made it clear that he is willing to offer Manning a lifetime contract and potentially a post-retirement spot within the organization. He wants the former University of Tennessee star and he wants him badly.

Now that we know the Denver Broncos are offering Manning an insane five-year, $90 million contract that will reportedly look a lot like the one he signed with the Indianapolis Colts last summer, you can expect the Titans to come right back with a big offer. 

I can almost guarantee that Tennessee's 89-year-old owner will one-up whatever the Broncos are offering Manning, simply because he seems enamored with the four-time MVP. I really think he will give the 11-time Pro Bowler whatever he wants to get a deal done. 

I think the Broncos are crazy for offering $90 million to a guy who hasn't taken a snap in more than a year and is coming off of four neck surgeries. That said, I do believe that the Titans will match that offer at the very least.

With the Arizona Cardinals reportedly out of the running, things have been narrowed down in the chase for Manning. The San Francisco 49ers are in the mix now, but it appears that things are down to the Titans and Broncos. At this point, with how long this saga has dragged on you'd have to believe that things will come to a resolution soon.

If the Titans really want Manning as badly as they say, they'll give him an even sweeter offer than Denver's.
