I'm of the opposite opinion; you trade a veteran player to get the most value for him. It's a no brainer to trade Manning, and Draft Luck. John Elway will give anything for Manning I bet, it's the only player he can bring in and not get criticized for cutting Tebow. You trade Manning and his 100 Million Dollar contract, Draft luck at the new Rookie maximum of a few Million, save a ton of $$ on the cap and go free agent crazy and crazy in the draft. That is how Indy should be rebuilt. GET VALUE FOR MANNING! Hell he could play next year and get hit once and never play football again. He's an 11 year vet, get value. Roll the dice on Luck and free cap space.
I don't know if you saw the poll on ESPN, but there was a poll for MVP in the NFL, and Tebow (62%) was ahead of Rogers in the poll.
