LaCanfora says family members and Smith could be open to a sale of the Titans after the Bills sold their franchise for around $1.4 billion. Manning's ties to Tennessee and interest in ownership would only make a Titans deal that much sweeter and could fetch up to $2 billion.

Manning played his college ball at UT and Jimmy Haslam's brother Bill was just re-elected as governor and has a 70% approval rating according to a recent Vanderbilt poll.

The report did not specify if Haslam would sell the Browns in order to make a partnership with Manning possible.
