Peyton Manning hasn't been a free agent for long, but plenty of teams have already made it known they're interested in the former Indianapolis Colts great. NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora reported Thursday that several teams told Manning's agent, Tom Condon, that they are interested in seeing Manning throw in a workout session.
Manning also would like to make a decision in the next week, La Canfora reported, but the timetable could depend on Manning proving to teams he's healthy. One team that doesn't need convincing? The Miami Dolphins, who reportedly are going all in on acquiring the four-time MVP. The Redskins, conversely, might not have enough to draw Manning's eye, according to one report.
