NFL Notes: Peyton Manning, Bills, Dolphins, Jets, & Redskins

Peyton Manning

A source “very close” to Broncos QB Peyton Manning tells Ross Tucker that he thinks Manning will play in 2015.

“I think he’ll be back,” the source said. “He was just emotional after the game because of the disappointment of the loss and everything that went into it. … He just needs to take a month off and get away from it all and he’ll be fine.“

Bills

• Tim Graham reports that the Rex Ryan will retain special-teams coordinator Danny Crossman.

Dolphins

• James Walker of ESPN writes that the Dolphins don’t have any player worthy of the franchise tag, nor do they have enough cap room for this to be a realistic option.
• The two players Walker lists as remote candidates for the franchise tag are TE Charles Clay and DT Jared Odrick.

Jets

• Jason La Canfora expects the Jets to try to bring in Kyle Shanahan as their offensive coordinator.
