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.

      Canales is holding us back

      I don't think Dave touches the defense. That might be a mark against him but definitely a huge red flag for evero. He refuses to run anything other than soft zone and when you don't get pressure that's an awful scheme

      You don't have to convince me. I think not picking up the option should absolutely be firmly on the table but I just do not see Tepper and Morgan doing that for previously stated reasons. Therefore I'm not going to bother entertaining the notion. Just hoping we actually get real viable competition. If that doesn't happen at the minimum then my perception of that is complete and utter professional malpractice.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By Bama Panther · Posted

      It was absolutely a catch, and I can’t believe how many folks were stating, before the NFL’s apology, that the overturn was the right call.  The ultimate question in this case is this: can a player complete a catch with only one hand? Of course, we all know the answer to that question, and it is an emphatic “Yes.” T-Mac maintained complete control with one hand (believe it was the right) while the other came off when the ball hit the ground. The ball was in the same position in the one hand (watch T-Mac’s fingers in relation to the NFL shield on the ball) after touching the ground as it was when it first went to the ground. Going back to the question above, if one hand can establish control, then there was no need for the other to stay on the ball, so long as the ball doesn’t move in that one hand that stays on it   It blew my mind that they overturned this in the first place. This should not be a “We got it wrong on the replay because there wasn’t clear and convincing evidence.” This should have been, “That was absolutely a catch.”
