You've got to get value for one or the other, and if you're thinking about the future of the franchise, you realize that either way Indy is probably rebuilding and how can you pass on a franchise QB not for 2-3 years, but for 10+ years. If he's healthy, I'm sure a team ready to rock and roll would chomp at the bit for Manning and pony up.
Or they could trade luck and get a serious ransom in return.
But they don't trade Manning unless they have Luck to step in IMO.
