Manning-ball.

Peyton Manning is spinning around on Free Agent Roulette, and many teams are hoping he lands on their number.

The esteemed quarterback is visiting interested teams to weigh his options. He's already visited the Denver Broncos and the Arizona Cardinals, and it seems likely he will talk to the Miami Dolphins as well. The Seattle Seahawks and Kansas City Chiefs are reportedly out of the running, as he turned down their requests for his presence. Also out are the New York Jets, who extended Mark Sanchez for three years. The Redskins just made a massive trade with St. Louis in order to draft Robert Griffin III, so they can be eliminated from the race as well.

So where is Manning going to end up? He already has a sealed legend as one of the best quarterbacks of all time, and now the NFL has the opportunity to see him play for someone other than the Colts. It's hard not to imagine half the clubs in the NFL salivating over the chance to have Manning resurrect or enhance their franchises.

The Broncos and Cardinals are both interesting situations. The Broncos have a guy named Tim Tebow to deal with; or rather, his rabid fans to reckon with. They can either commit to developing Tebow's skills as a passer and hope he blossoms into a superb quarterback, or snag the biggest free agent commodity in years and deal with the fallout. The Cardinals just spend a boatload of money on Kevin Kolb, who delivered a mediocre return. Unless Kolb shows great improvement, that deal with Philadelphia (and the big contract they gave Kolb) will be a long-lasting embarrassment. All that can be smoothed over with Manning's arrival.

Other teams in need include the Cleveland Browns, Minnesota Vikings, and Jacksonville Jaguars. The Browns aren't totally committed to the struggling Colt McCoy, and the Vikings and Jags both have quarterbacks that struggled with limited success in their rookie years. All three teams, however, lack the receiving corps caliber that the Broncos, Cardinals, and Dolphins have, and thus might be less appealing to Manning.

A few dark-horse candidates include the Tennessee Titans and San Francisco 49ers. Titans owner Bud Adams has expressed interest in Manning, and the 49ers may give him a shot if they can't come to terms with Alex Smith, who is coming off his best season. Both fall under the "anything's possible category," which could conceivably include the Buffalo Bills (who extended Ryan Fitzpatrick this past season) and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (who remain vocally committed to Josh Freeman despite his regression).

Of course, belying all this speculation is further speculation about Manning's ability to play at all, much less at a high level. But that's a question that, like this one, can only be answered with time.
