"Peyton would fill seats at PNC Park, and if healthy, he's got a strong arm," said Neal Huntington, general manager of the Pirates. "He would have to pass our physical, but Manning would add a veteran presence for our young team, and we like the ancillary marketing possibilities. PNC Park would become 'Peyton's Place,' and we're excited about the potential for him to help us sell lots of Pirates jerseys."
Neither Manning nor his agent, Tom Condon, were available for comment.
