Manning's next contract may be his last. Probably making him the highest paid QB in the league again.

If he gets franchised, he only gets the average of the top paid QBs in the league.

When you thinks about it, it makes sense. This year is unique in that a bunch of teams have a lot of money to blow, in fact, it's money they have to use, given the new salary floor. Peyton could get a huge payraise if he leaves.

I would be very surprised if the Colts weren't willing to make him the highest paid QB once they're actually able to.

a buddy has told me he read that they want teams to only be able to tag a player once. not that they want special consideration for any one player or themselves.

that is not what the tweet said, but I've heard that request before.

However, this really looks like a late attempt by a handful of players to force the owners to cave on an issue after most negotiating is done. I almost feel like these guys (it's not just those two, but Mankins & Jackson too) think the owners know it's close and won't back out now so they're willing to push.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
