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

      Well, the whole rationale used  for the high IQ point guard is it would allow us to spend our resources elsewhere….instead it’s all our first rounders ever since to support the bad pick.  Reality is our front office is just bad.  If you wanted Bryce Young you were going to need to do something unique and special for him.  Instead we just insert a QB with traditional tools into old NFL concepts that pair with traditional talent and our pass game is whack

      Good to see some other folks are speaking the same language on this. It's simple common sense. But it seems like there's a disconnect due to the misplaced value the team has put on Thielen because he was the only vaguely good veteran WR willing to sign with the Panthers after we traded away DJ Moore. That time has come and gone. We have two first round WR's on the roster now.

      Yeah I’m turning this into a Bryce can’t play QB thread. Just stating that offense was a poo show two years ago. No QB is succeeding in that, much less a rookie. I feel like it’s become a common debate strategy on here to just jump down the rabbit hole of saying he is just bad in so many ways when any certain point gets countered. If that doesn’t work we can deflect to how poorly this team has been ran. In regards to the actual point we are debating, the OL was struggling, half of the skill players aren’t on a roster, Mingo has done nothing with his new team and the staff are either not coaching or on their 3rd team in 3 years, aside from McCown (I liked McCown too). Honestly about as bad as it gets. No need to try to state how good of an offense it was billed it because that has been proven false at this point.
