5 Teams Desperate Enough to Sign Peyton Manning Next Year Justin Edmonds-Getty Images
Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk reported Sunday night that Peyton Manning intends to continue playing in 2016, even if it's not for the Denver Broncos. The report has since been refuted by 9 News Denver's Mike Klis, via Manning himself, but nothing should be ruled out right now. If Manning plays next season and the Broncos don't want him back, here are five teams that would be desperate enough to sign him.

5. Philadelphia Eagles

Manning and Chip Kelly would be an interesting marriage, assuming the latter remains in place as Eagles' head coach heading into 2016. The two would surely butt heads over who is calling plays, but if Kelly has personnel control taken from him he may have no choice but to take a backseat to Manning.

4. Cleveland Browns

There is speculation that Manning will pursue a post-career front office role, and the Browns are a possible fit due to his relationship with owner Jimmy Haslam. The franchise could get ahead of the curve though, and bring Manning in as their quarterback next year.

3. San Francisco 49ers

The 49ers were, on some level, in the mix to sign Manning before he landed in Denver. Things have changed a lot in San Francisco since then, but they'll need a quarterback and Manning would probably get the offensive scheme control he surely seeks.

2. Washington Redskins

The Redskins don't have a solid plan under center next season, even if they sign Kirk Cousins to a contract extension. Owner Daniel Snyder would surely love to sign Manning, and head coach Jay Gruden (if he is back) would have to give up some control over the offense.

1. Houston Texans

The Texans got an up close look at Manning's talent during his time with the Indianapolis Colts. Now, even in his diminished state, the opportunity to bring Manning to Houston may be too much to disregard.

    Fan Falls From Stands After Luke Kuechly's Pick-6

    This was quite a series of events for Carolina Panthers linebacker Luke Kuechly. First, he picks off Carson Palmer. Then, he manages to find paydirt to complete the stellar pick-six. What happens next, though, no one could have seen coming. A fan apparently got a little too excited about all the success the Panthers were having, and ended up flying onto the field from the stands. Kuechly was there to assist him, further proving his awesomeness.

    Watch Panthers' Newton Flip Into End Zone For TD

    Since the opening kickoff of the 2016 NFC Championship Game, the Carolina Panthers have dominated every aspect of the game against the Arizona Cardinals. The defense has swarmed Carson Palmer all night long, forcing three turnovers and currently holding them to 15 points. The special teams have held the Cardinals' return game in check, hit two field goals and produced a big punt return from Ted Ginn Jr. With that being said, Cam Newton is the MVP of this game and of the entire 2015-16 NFL season, and this play is a big reason why.
