Did Eagles ever consider signing Peyton?

This has probably been discussed many times, however, did our FO ever really consider it?

NO, and the canned reason given is that Peyton didn't want to compete against his brother in the same division twice a year. Could be true, could be BS.

From what I read the Eagles looked into it he told them he didn't want to be in the same Division as Eli.

In fairness, if you were Peyton Manning, would you work for Andy Reid? Imagine Peyton meeting Howie. He'd leave Philadelphia before lunch.

I hear ya. That's why I don't get too worked up about the scenario. It would never have happened.

according to PFT FF went after him.

peyton manning nearly had an undefeated season under jim caldwell. working with FF would be a pleasure for him, not that i think it really matters who his coach is.

Who cares he shits the bed as soon as it's the playoffs. The only reason he ever tasted a championship is because he went against Rex Grossman in the SB.

Royal I have to agree with you on this one. Peyton is a complete play off choker all the way back to the Tennessee Vols days.

Grossman threw a pic 6 in the game that gave the ring to Manning. I was there live in the shitty rain and saw it. A bunch of fans wearing Urlacher jerseys walking down Honey Hill 199st soaking wet in disbelief.

That's ridiculous. A small percentage of Eagles fans hate Andy and Howie, but at least Reid (don't know about Howie) is well respected around the league. Peyton didn't want the twice per year circus that would surround the Eagles/Giants games. And who could blame him?

21st century sports media is all about generating storylines. Peyton vs Eli is built in extra drama. Drama is bad for football teams.

A large percentage of Eagles fans hate (that's a strong word, call it don't respect) Reid, and I'd bet the vast majority of Eagles fans don't respect Roseman. We already know from this summer that there are NFL front office types who think Roseman is way over his head.

wasn't the info about roseman based on a baseless report from la confora, who is a foreskins fan?
