It'll be amusing if the Giants get both Kevin Boss and Steve Smith back this offseason for minimum salaries.

Well, well, well. Plenty of Texans fans think I’m nuts to even suggest that the Texans would be nuts not to pursue Peyton Manning.

I still may be nuts, but at least the Texans-Peyton theory no longer is evidence of it.

Mike Klis of the Denver Post reports that the Texans recently inquired about Manning. The Texans are now regarded as one of the six teams alive in the Peyton chase, along with the Broncos, Dolphins, Cardinals, Titans, and 49ers.

The Texans and 49ers should have been at the front of the line from the start for Peyton. Either team would instantly become the odds-on favorite to win their conference championship with a healthy Peyton in the fold.

Klis also reports that, along with other teams, the Broncos have been talking generally about a contract for Manning with agent Tom Condon.

Previously, the Texans had said they have no interest in Manning. Their interest possibly has been sparked by the Titans’ interest. If nothing else, the Texans need to make it look like they tried to get Peyton, in the event he ends up with the Titans and lead them to the AFC South title.

Tha fuck? Poor Schaub. Though the thought of even an 80% Peyton with the Texans Oline, Arian in the backfield, those TE's, dre going deep with dat Wade defense backing him up...............
 
As a Ravens fan I feel obliged to pick up the posting slack for Larry. Fuck Flacco! We'd do better if we brought back Elvis Grb-aaaaah I'm bored of this already. Back to obscurity!

Well, it is all over twitter and he does owe Baltimore for getting the scumbag Irsay family a ring.

He's going to Denver. He's like that hot girl that never likes not being in a relationship, is going to rebound to the first guy who shows interest.

And then reality sets in. Peyton is either sucking and/or injured and the Texans don't have a QB.

Not only does Peyton have health concerns but it's health concerns that make you wonder if he could even replicate the same level of play Schaub has been putting up the past several seasons.

I get every team in the hunt currently going for Peyton except for the Texans. It doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

My mother beats me with an electrical cord every time Flacco throws an interception. The bruises always heal right before the season starts again. There hasn't been a single night in the last four years I haven't cried myself to sleep.

That's the best Larry I got, I'm tapped

Im thinking the Texans "showing interest" to maybe drive up the price on the fat piece of dog crap Adams in Nashville.
 
Some of the comments in that PFT post are golden! Example:

Put Schaub’s upper body on Manning’s lower body and the Texans might have a Qb that can play a whole season. And the leftover parts can start for the Browns.

Why the Falcons no trying to keep Curtis Lofton?
Click to expand...

There have been rumblings that new defensive coordinator Mike Nolan doesn’t view Lofton as a three-down player and doesn’t want to use him on passing downs. That could have caused problems in contract talks because Lofton has had solid numbers and likely wants to be paid like a top middle linebacker.

He might get that kind of deal somewhere else, but not with the Falcons. They’ve shown they’re about to move on without him.

We stomped you out with Skelton in sf. We had a let down and lost by 2 in zona on some fluke plays. Cards ain't shit!

hahahaha ok, any loss to the Niners in the future is going to be attributed to a let down, Niners ain't shit! Last I checked a win is a win and you guys lost to Skelton. Period.

FUUUUUUUUU Houston is the one team that would go for Peyton that I can't even argue would be a better choice than us. I hope their interest isn't genuine...

About the Skins and Boys getting punished, all the teams were told by the league not to use the uncapped year as a way to fix upcoming cap problems. Those teams cut high salaried players so that the money they were owed would count in the uncapped year. It was a clear attempt by those teams to circumvent the cap.

It's still shady as fuck and probably illegal for the NFL to do this to teams who didn't actually violate any NFL rules. I'm not sure if this has been mentioned here yet, but apparently the NFL threatened to lower the cap this year to prevent the NFLPA from challenging this ruling.

http://espn.go.com/blog/nfceast/post/_/id/36904/qa-on-the-cowboys-redskins-cap-mess

Q: Why is this happening now, the day before free agency?

A: The answer to that lies in the reason it took so long for the league to establish and announce this year's salary cap. The union must sign off on the cap before it is approved, and it obviously took issue initially with the idea of punishing teams for spending money in an uncapped year. But the league was toying with the idea of lowering this year's salary cap, and used this issue as a bargaining chip with the union. Basically, if the union agreed to the punishment for the Redskins and Cowboys, the cap would be $120.6 million, as it is now. But if they refused, the league was prepared to make the cap lower. I don't know by how much, but say for the sake of argument they wanted to drop it to $116 million per team. That'd have been a total of $128 million when spread across 32 teams — a significant loss to the players if they agreed to it.
