Having experienced varying degrees of success with Brett Favre and Donovan McNabb over the previous three seasons, the Minnesota Vikings are no strangers to a short-term, veteran "fix" at quarterback. Peyton Manning is likely to be released by the Indianapolis Colts, making him available to sign with another team. ... If he's fit enough to play, why not attempt to sign him and let Christian Ponder sit and learn from one of the best? You'd have to think Manning would enjoy handing off to Adrian Peterson and throwing the ball to Percy Harvin. The word is, Manning is willing to sign an incentive-loaded contract and won't be demanding big up-front money. So he wouldn't be a huge financial risk.
