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.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Number 9  Carolina Panthers  Bryce Young, the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, produced career highs in completion percentage (63.6%), passing yards per game (188.2) and passing touchdowns (23) in 2025. However, those numbers aren't exactly stellar by NFL quarterbacking standards. Even though the Panthers backdoored their way into the postseason in 2025 as NFC South champions with an 8-9 record, Young's performance was up-and-down. He threw for the third-fewest passing yards by a quarterback to make the playoffs in the last 20 seasons, per CBS Sports Research.  FEWEST PASSING YARDS BY QB TO REACH PLAYOFFS, LAST 20 SEASONS (MIN. 16 STARTS) PASSING YARDS PLAYOFF WINS 2012 Christian Ponder (MIN) 2,935 0 2008 Joe Flacco (BAL) 2,971 2 2025 Bryce Young (CAR) 3,011 0 2006 Steve McNair (BAL) 3,050 0 2019 Josh Allen (BUF) 3,089 0 Young did deliver some high highs, like when he threw for a franchise-record 448 yards passing in a Week 11 overtime win at the Atlanta Falcons and when he went toe-to-toe with Stafford in the playoffs in a 34-31 defeat.  Kenny Pickett couldn't win the Cleveland Browns' quarterback competition a year ago, and Will Grier is a career backup. This is Young's team. Week 1 starter: Bryce Young https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/ranking-10-worst-qb-rooms-in-nfl-starting-week-1-predictions/?fbclid=IwZnRzaARnWVNleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xNzM4NDc2NDI2NzAzNzAAAR4I6-l7Gqrm0vzn3U7a_trcR4tcOJs0LSdal4B7l20pQeRwKTxD8w17l1lTRA_aem_RsfzhcPGr6Hmr56BjCd3hw

      That thread has all the huddle legends either posting in it or mentioned in it. I remember everyone of those folks and I truly miss seeing them post here. This place was so much better with them here.
