Haslam supposedly wants Arch Manning

According to friends in Cleveland, Jim Haslam has a real boner to draft Arch Manning. I hope he trades a package of draft picks to someone in order to move up in the draft, and then Manning stays in for another year.
You would think Haslam would have learned something from the Watson fiasco.
Manning certainly has the bloodline, but really has hardly played to this point.
We should float the rumor that the Steelers are going to pony up a king’s ransom in draft capital to get Manning at any cost. Then Haslam would be sure to do anything to prevent that from happening. He might be provoked into shooting himself in the foot once again.

 

I mean... Jimmy Haslam is also one of the closest owners to Peyton Manning. Rather, his friendship with the Manning Family is more known than others. It doesn't surprise me personally.


This all said, Arch isn't declaring for 2026. 2027 is likely when barring extreme circumstances.
