I'm OK with moving on from Manning for 2 reasons;
1. As Berk pointed, he's gonna wait till after FA starts to decide, this would of hindered our pursuit of Flynn, and......
2. It's looking like he's gonna request most of his recently released teammates to join him on whatever team he signs with. While those guys might of had a little left in the tank, we would of had to restructure (which costs money down the line <re; Pittsburg/Raiders>
or outright cut some players to accomplish this, making us thin at other spots. Not sure the trade off would of been worth it.
