The Facts:
The Washington Redskins had two quarterbacks who played in 2011: Rex Grossman and John Beck. And so they are trying to upgrade. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Redskins have had internal discussions about pursuing (surprise, surprise) Peyton Manning, Packers quarterback Matt Flynn, and Chiefs quarterback Kyle Orton.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Flynn and Orton will be free agents in March. Manning likely will be too, and possibly sooner than that. As PFT's Mike Florio suggests, if the Redskins get Manning, OC Kyle Shanahan would have to find a way to adjust his style to Manning. Shanahan wants to control everything the quarterback does. Manning wouldn't be thrilled about being micromanaged. ... But there will be ample time to work that out over the coming month before free agency begins. We suspect Manning's name might be bandied about in any number of cities. Oh wait. It already has been. Either way, stay tuned.
