Chuck: I'm thinking that both teams are equally aware of his condition and his ability to play. I'm guessing the difference is contract $, as Z alluded. Indy was locked into $28mil; Denver can structure a contract with "just in case" outs.

More guessing: if Indy wasnt locked into that mega $$ amount contract, they would have kept Manning, could draft Luck next month, then start the season with Manning as a player/mentor. But that was not to be.

Like you all, I'm reading that Tebow will be traded; front-running teams there are J'bille and Miami. I am a Tebow fan...just wish that his throwing accuracy was a little closer to his leadership skills and other intangible qualities,
