They also all said he wanted to go to a SB caliber team, and yet his first two stops are the Broncos and Cards.

Well Peyton is probably the biggest choker in football history. Dunno if he's going to help any team hot or cold.
Ask JNC he loves his seahawks
if weather is going to stop him from playing in a town, maybe we don't want him. Elway did it, Orton did it, Tebow played in the cold. If he can't outman Orton, and put on an extra layer, he can go play somewhere else. Its a weak excuse.
That cold game in New England really screwed Tebow hard.

A healthy Manning would be an upgrade over most QBs, especially for the Texans.
well that's a good example too, but don't you think he might want to avoid any sort of clash with an established starter? Even if he were to come out on top.
As a Niners fan not sure how I feel about the signing of Moss. If he plays even half as well as his record setting year when he played for the patriots I will be pleased. On the other hand, the hand I am leaning toward, he has poor attitude more often than I would like to see. Moss gives up on plays, scared to go over the middle for tough catches and locker room presence is crap. We all know that as fast as he can be or his ability to make big catches one on one, can and will Alex Smith even deliver him the ball? I am not sure about this. Once Moss starts NOT getting the ball then it's back to poor attitude.
My other, and even bigger concern, is the lack of a good secondary. Need to get good corners and with Rogers a free agent what are their plans?

Dipped down to 26 f in the Steelers game irc. What happened there? Cold is overstated, no matter where you go you will have to play in the cold if you make it to the postseason.

I don't think he would use that as the reason to not go to Denver, but it's something to at least keep in mind. From a football perspective, he historically has played much worse in the the cold than in warm outdoor games or in domes. And with him playing in Denver, I'd assume that at least half of his home games are going to be COLD.
From an off-the-field perspective, who would prefer to live in Denver's climate over Miami or Arizona or even Houston or San Francisco? There's a reason why his off-season home is on South Beach and not in Indy.

I've heard Arizona is pretty warm, all he needs to do is become the #1 seed.

I suppose he is used to playing in a dome as well. And then I would assume that he'd ideally like to get it whisper quiet wherever he plays when on offense.

As we get closer to the FA time I'm getting antsy about Peyton's decision. Not about getting him, but because I can't help but think we won't really make any moves until we know what he's doing. Broncos probably in the same boat. He's handicapping all these teams which is why he was supposed to choose by today in the first place. Will really suck if he drags this on, we have a few holes to fill in FA.

That does make sense but anywhere he goes someone is going to lose a job. If he goes to the Broncos then Tebow is out, and if he goes to the Cards Kolb losses out on $7 million and his spot on the team. At least if he goes to the Texans Schaub would get traded to another team and still have a starting spot.

Carlos Rogers was arguably the 2nd best cb on our team in the 2nd half of the season. Tarell brown was. Brown/culliver are quality but we do need another cb. If Rogers wants $8-10 mil a year he can walk
EXCITEMENT!
Got two buddies, one a Redskins fan, the other a Cowboys fan.
I noticed that the Browns play both teams this year (skins at home, Cowboys in Dallas).
Both are tempted to go to those games, might finally get to see my first Browns games in person!
And shut up yes I know I shouldn't be excited to see the Browns grab their ankles but I don't care!

Day 2 of the Curtis Lofton for Detroit campaign is in full swing!
There is very little reason to have hope or optimism that Detroit will sign him, but the fans (me) have not given up hope. Those restructured contracts made some room! Lets get it done Detroit

I understand, but to make a decision on weather sounds like something Brees would do. Hell even Cutler manned up and went to Chicago, Rodgers plays in the cold. Like I said its a weak excuse, and Denver is a fairly temperate place, more so than say Detroit or Chicago.

Update:

Details:
First 6 seed to get there and that was mostly Ben who at the time was carrying the team and putting up awesome numbers.
Hell he outplayed Peyton in Indy and even made a game saving tackle after the Bus almost had the biggest choke of all time.
Ben was great that year and he knew be didn't have to show up against jakncoke's team so I don't blame him for starting the celebration a little early.
I don't know. He's no Welker, but better than those other little white WRs they have. I personally think that if Danny Amendola is a prominent part of your offense, you have a problem. He has no big play ability. Very little YAC

Great fucking news. Guy is so awesome. He has to be one of the most versatile OL in the league. I wonder if this move frees up any more for this year.

Cap numbers for all 32 teams. Does not include restructures/deals completed Monday/Tuesday etc. Nor does it include the cap hits to the Redskins/Cowboys.

My body can't handle all the highs and lows this team puts me through. I'm going to die of heart failure before I hit 40 because of all the unjustified hope and hype I have from this team, usually to be sent crashing down haha....... :-(

League requires the Cowboys and Redskins to eat half of that cap hit in 2012.

Don't get too excited. The Bucs are expected to make a big push for him. They have plenty of cap space to do it, too.goldlion054 said:

The Bucs can push as hard as they want, but as long as they support Freeman as a QB, they will never win. And I imagine Lofton knows that! But if they convert Freeman to a guard..... then I'll be worried
He is an awesome run stuffer but doesnt provide much pass rush. He said he wants to stay in Seattle, is probably just testing what his market value is before he resigns here unless someone offers him a big contract.
Seems like he would do really well as a 3-4 end.

So Arizona needs to free up something like 30 million to even make Manning a possibility? Ouch.

I suspect he'll be lining up at the nearest Taco Bell once he sees all those big flashy numbers on his contract that Bucs can offer with over 40 million in cap space.goldlion054 said:

Yes they can. Rumors are Peppers will restructure his contract if the Bears land Williams. The problem is getting both guys will be expensive, so Emery is going to have to be able to draft well to get more player replacements!
Bears won't break the bank to get Jackson. They are going to over pay him, but not go to the extreme the Redskins are rumored to do! We'll see if he wants a real chance at winning while still getting a ton of money or take the highest offer!
hate the cowboys and indifferent about redskins but the cap punishment is kinda rediculous
what is ridiculous? You think it was unclear? Or just the amount being used as punishment is too much?

T-minus four hours until the insanity begins!
At the rate things are going, the Redskins won't be overpaying anyone if the league has its way.Mrbob said:
Tampa Bays FO is always good for a few laughs.
Yeah, I'd imagine FA would pretty much be over if the Bears land both guys. Still some holes at OL and WR. Not to mention the aging corners and LBs...
But it's obvious the Bears are in win now mode for the next 2 years, so their moves make sense. Should be an interesting draft.

Looks like Bucs management already gave Schiano the bad news on how the Bucs approach free agency.

It just seems to me that it will be hard for them to bid for Peyton Manning when they have to start out in a salary cap hole. I wonder where they are at now?
