Could Peyton Manning Fit as Jets New GM?
Is New York City big enough for two Mannings?
While the New York Jets look like a complete dumpster fire right now after the way ownership dismissed Mike Maccagnan as General Manager, and head coach Adam Gase is doing his darnedest to be the next Bill Belichick by threatening to trade Le'Veon Bell, rumors are flying that the Jets could look to former Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manningas the next leader of the franchise.
This is all speculation of course. But the biggest link to a Manning-Jets marriage would be Gase, himself. Gase and Manning worked together in Denver in 2013 and 2014 when Gase was offensive coordinator. While Manning was tearing apart defenses, Gase basked in the glow and took credit; Manning was willing to give it to him. The two have been friends for a long time since. Manning even called befuddled Jets CEO Christopher Johnson and put in a good word or two for Gase, leading Gang Green to give him the job.
