Honestly. If Peyton fully recovers, I think he's going to have the biggest FU season of all time. The touchdown record could fall. I think if the Colts were smart, they trade the number one , get a ton of athletic defensive players like Burfect from ASU and a 1st round corner like the kid from LSU, Morris Claiborne. He could be had with a top 10 pick, Burfect will be in the 20's, so if they can get two first rounders this year, they could really build an outstanding defense. Chuck Pagano is a defensive guy.
Scenario: Indy trades the number one pick to the Browns for there two first rounders, a 2nd rounder ( 36) and Joe Haden. Now the Colts have the number 4, 22, 33 and 36th pick in this years draft. Your starting DB's are set Haden is fantastic and Jerraud Powers is one of the most underrated corners in the league. With the 4th pick, you take RG3. With the 22nd, maybe Mark Barron, Saftey from Alabama, or Michael Brockers , DE from LSU, or maybe you grab a playmaking receiver like Michael Floyd or RG3's Baylor WR, Kendall Wright. Or you can sure up your Oline. The 33 and 36 picks will net you someone really good. For instance, Vontaze Burfict is a classic top 10 talent that's gunna drop because of discipline questions. He could be there at 33, ripe for the picking. You might even see Dont'a Hightower, ILB from Bama, available. The Colts could really restock big time if they trade this number one. |

There is a snowball's chance in hell Indy trades out of the number one spot.

Much like after their last Super Bowl win, I think the Giants are going to lose a ton of guys to free agency. Manningham immediately springs to mind, as does Kiwanuka. Terrell Thomas is a free agent but missing the season this year may actually help the Giants...he might have to take a 1 year deal to prove his health.
I'm sure we'll also have some more Osi drama. Their cap situation was a mess this year already so I have no idea what to expect come the 2012 season. But my faith in Jerry Reese has been restored. Looking forward to seeing how it goes. Giantsssssss |

I think Kiwi will be back. Manningham is probably going to leave. I think the Giants will gladly let Osi go. They won't pay him what he wants for how long he wants. I think Jacobs is gone. Terrell Thomas will be back.
The Giants most definitely need to draft one of three positions: OL, TE, or LB. Or maybe they'll just draft another DE and play DE at every position. |

Lions will be busy, as we will have to stock up with better defenders and shore up the offensive line in the draft. Also, do not be surprised if they decide to draft a RB as well as Best is more than likely dead, and Leshoure will be coming back from a torn achilles. Oh and the fact that Kevin Smith is either a beast for 45 minutes and then dies

Face it, RP. Peyton is going to the 49ers.
And no, I don't actually believe that. |

Hoping the 'Boys sign a guard in free agency. Grubbs or the guy from the Saints I forgot his name. Then in the draft just focus on defense..secondary, a fat D-tackle, and a rush linebacker.
Maybe switching to a 4-3 defense would be good, but I think Ryan is a 3-4 guy |

Seahawks and the 9ers would be great places for Peyton, IMO. Good defenses, solid lines... DO IT, PEYTON.

I see Kareem McKenzie is one of the Giants' impending free agents. He's gonna be a really tough call actually. He's old and sometimes ineffective, but the line really gelled nicely down the stretch. The Giants could probably try to have Beatty replace him, allowing Diehl to stay at left tackle (where he plays his best IMO) and keep Boothe as a starting guard.
Even though many are calling for the Giants to draft a LB, I there's gonna be a massive logjam there as it is. Goff missed the season so he can probably come back on a 1 year deal and the coaching staff likes him...I'd expect them to give Sintim one more shot too in pre-season. Blackburn is a free agent and was incredible filling in this year, no way does he miss half the season in unemployment. Boley and Kiwi are still there...as are the 4 rookies from this year (Herzlich, Williams, Jones, Paysinger), all of whom showed flashes of brilliance at times. Can't keep all of 'em, especially if they draft another one. Hate to say it but I think Blackburn is gonna go elsewhere next year...not because the Giants don't want him, but I just think another team is bound to give him more money. Ditto for some of the other quality backups, like Tollefson. |

FOX 31 Denver reports that Knowshon Moreno was arrested on drunken driving charges on February 1.
Moreno was driving a Bentley convertible 70MPH in a 45MPH construction zone last Wednesday. After pulling him over, police smelled alcohol on Moreno, and he "did poorly" in sobriety tests. The Bentley's license plate was personalized and read "SAUCED." |

Saints need to resign Brees and Carl Nicks imediately.. Colston and Meachum will be big losses on offense but should be replaceable.. I think Vilma will be gone and Dunbar will be the new starting MLB.. I love Vilma but we can keep Dunbar for a fraction of the price and he can play all LB positions, not just MLB.. I hope they resign Tracy Porter but I could see letting him go and getting a CB from the Rams or the Dolphins since that's where out DC and new DB coaches are from..
Most important is signing Brees, Nicks, and Dunbar then go from there.. |

Not sure what the Saints' cap situation is but I think Carl Nicks might get one of, if not the largest offensive lineman contract of all time. That in addition to Brees getting an enormous deal as well. Wonder if they'll be able to afford both without anybody taking a hometown discount.
