NFL Notes: Peyton Manning, Broncos, Eagles, Packers, & Saints

Peyton Manning

Peyton Manning said that he’s “angry, furious, disgusted” by the report that he took HGH several years ago.

โ€œAngry, furious, disgusted is really how I feel,โ€ Manning told Lisa Salters on ESPN. โ€œSickened by it. Iโ€™m not sure I understand how someone can make something up about somebody, admit that he made it up, and yet somehow itโ€™s published in a story. I donโ€™t understand that.โ€

โ€œItโ€™s completely fabricated, complete trash, garbage,โ€ Manning added.

Manning particularly took exception to the inclusion of his wife and her medical history.

โ€œIt makes me sick that it brings Ashley into it, her medical history being violated,โ€ Manning said. โ€œAny medical treatment that my wife received, thatโ€™s her business.โ€

Broncos

Eagles

  • Les Bowen has confirmed a report from Howard Eskin that Eagles LT Jason Peters took himself out of Saturday’s game because he didn’t want toย risk getting hurt for team that is not going to playoffs.

Packers

Saints

  • According to Jason La Canfora, the Saints are very likely to make changes to their personnel structure if Sean Payton returns as the team’s head coach in 2016.
  • Some believe New Orleans could allow Payton to depart for another job such as the Colts or Dolphins.
  • However, Payton is reportedly interested in taking over for the Chargers and Giants.
  • Interestingly enough, La Canfora mentions that Doug Marrone is very close to Saints GM Mickey Loomis, so he could be a potential replacement for Payton if he departs.
