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.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By Shotgun · Posted

      His first season. I saw it with my own eyes, others saw it too. Old man Dalton had to come in to make the throw. I watch every game. You must of just missed it. He had another chance a couple of weeks ago from the 50 and didn't even attempt to throw it to the endzone....cause he cant.

      If they start Corbett...

      By Matthias · Posted

      I would say if they put Corbett back at center, that would be evidence of some kind of favoritism thing going on.  I would have to ask if our coaches are leaders of men.  So they bet not do some stupid stuff like that.  It would be one thing if Corbett had pedigree at the position, a probowler.  This dude has never been a good center in the slightest, and only looked decent at the guard position in the past. (Which I don't believe he ever had a fully healthy season as a Panther)    So this shouldn't even be a discussion if you're the coaches.  But again, Corbett never should have been the starter in the first place.  I know we're armchair coaching when it comes to these things, but before the season, I was rooting for Mays to win the position.  The guy played a key role in Bryce's surgence last year.  Why mess up that combination?  And they did mess up the combination by making Corbett the starter.  It could be we might of won against the Jags had Mays been the starter. (Yes, I believe it was that critical)  We know Mays went in late against the Cards, where Bryce began looking better at the end. (Though the Cards played soft coverage)  So all these things says Cade Mays is the better center for the team.  Yet certainly he is the better center for Bryce if nothing else.

      He was our best YAC guy in 2023 and 4th in 2024(behind Hubbard, Sanders, Coker). He was a great and productive WR for us because he knows how to play the game, he had a connection with Bryce specifically and our other options have largely been atrocious.
