I'd love to have Manning.

Patriots adding Brandon Lloyd and Anthony Gonzalez is big.

Hmm. Let's speculate. Keep in mind that I haven't been following this much at all so if something was reported, correct me and I will call you a name while fixing my error.

Teams that definitely didn't inquire about Manning:

1. Patriots
2. Chargers
3. Steelers
4. Giants
5. Lions
6. Packers
7. Saints
8. Panthers
9. Colts

Teams that probably didn't inquire about Manning:

1. Falcons
2. Cowboys
3. Bengals
4. Bears
5. Eagles

So that's 14 teams out of 32 that I would confidently cross off the list. That leaves 18 mystery teams remaining for 12-16 spots. Were the Ravens one of those teams that didn't call? I dunno, Droford. You're a gambling man/addict. Would you take those odds?

Mario Manningham to the 9ers. Sweet mother of god.

Jesus...Big Dick Harbaugh will not be denied.

Alex Smith visiting Miami. Harbaugh setting himself up for a potentially huge disaster if he loses both Manning and Smith

My sources tell me that Alex Smith is exploring his options in case San Francisco signs Peyton Manning.

Well duh. It'd just be hilarious if they offered him a ridiculous contract and he signed anyway, and then Manning signs with Den/Tenn. Just going from YEEEEEAH SUPER BOWL to FUCK WE NEED A QB in a few days would be amazing

I got what you were saying. I was making fun of the "insiders" who try to turn every piece of news into some kind of scoop.

Damn, my bad then.

Shit is pretty ridiculous though. My new favorite part is how when everyone found out Manning was going to Tennessee yesterday to throw yesterday they all assumed OMG TITANS ARE THE FAVORITE BECAUSE HE'S GOING TO THEM!!! when in reality he just did it because he was in the area for his anniversary, which he was spending in the Smoky Mountains

Another reason I know why they didnt bother calling is because they're only about $8 million under the cap and they still have all the draft picks to sign and a couple FA's. No way they could afford him.

So, they didn't call Manning to replace Flacco because they couldn't afford him. You could've just said that, Droford.

Jesus fucking... Ugh. You are seriously hopeless.

God damnit, Peyton needs to make his decision like today. HE'S TEARING US ALL APART!

I thought it was strange that Smith wasn't re-signed or testing the market like other big names. I know he has the same agent as Peyton and maybe he should consider new representation due to the conflict of interest there.

If teams are interested in backups like Flynn this year and Kolb last year based on just a few games (literally 2 in Flynn's case), you'd think Smith would be able to drive a pretty good bargain of his own based on what he did as an actual starter last year. Plus when you compare his last three seasons to those of guys who got extensions like Sanchez and Fitzpatrick, he's just as good if not better.

That being said, now that the Niners have been revealed as the "super secret third team," Smith will probably be the biggest winner in free agency. If the Niners miss out on Manning, they'll definitely be willing to overpay to bring Smith back and if Peyton goes to San Francisco, I think whoever between Miami and Seattle doesn't get the next big bust that will be Matt Flynn will be dejected and desperate enough to pay Smith big money to come there.

Miami is currently interested in Flynn and Smith right now after loosing out on the Manning Sweepstakes. David Gerrard right now is plan D for Miami in case they lose out on Flynn, Smith, and Manning.

Smith will be dropping his agent because the same agent also handles Peyton and either he felt the agent wouldn't get him the best deal or would be too busy with Manning to even try.

Doesn't look like Flynn wants Miami so probably Seattle is his best option right now. Miami wanted to sign him once Manning rejected them but he held out either to see what Manning gets for a deal or didn't like the overall quality Miami currently has.

since the Broncos do not want Tim Tebow apparently I would be totally fine with Alex Smith if Peyton doesn't come here

would prefer Tebow though

think he'll end up signing with Seattle or back with San Fran though

John Clayton said yesterday there was a rumor going around that if the Broncos got Manning, the Patriots would try to trade for Tebow since Josh McDaniels was the one that drafted him and Belichick is intrigued by the idea of grooming Tebow into Brady's successor while using him in some kind of hybrid H-back role in the mean time. Kind of makes sense and could be a good fit.

Probably nothing to it, but interesting to think about.

By the way, Peyton Manning is a huge fucking asshole for leaving 3 teams hanging like this for so long. Everyone is missing out on free agents left and right because of this shithead.

Rather would have Mallett as the future after Brady but Tebow could work out really well as a bridge between the succession and giving Mallett more time to develop.

This all assumes Tebow doesn't become a pure passer and Mallett's potential stays on track to be a potential Brady-like QB.

Matt Flynn is a Seahawk for 10 million guaranteed dollars

Filed to ESPN: Matt Flynn has agreed to terms witj Seattle on a 3-yr contract worth up to $26M w/$10M guaranteed.


here it is

Poor Dolphins, they're gonna suck

I just really hope Manning stays in the AFC..

Proofread your fucking tweets Adam Schefter.

Who is matt flynn

Would rather see the Dolphins hold out for Matt Barkley next year than sign Matt Flynn.

Is the Dolphins owner off-putting or something? That team has gotten shafted by every coach and free agent they speak to.

Lebron was a babyface before the decision. Peyton doing the same thing would be awesome

Warning: The following is a tweet from Incarcerated Bob. I know those that know about IB have varying opinions on him, so put as much stock in it as you wish. Though to be fair, the last time he reported a deal between Manning and Denver he was right, as Lombardi and Klis later confirmed. A deal was reached, and then Bud Adams forced the Titans into things....

What if he took his talents to south beach :shifty:

If the Manning report is true, combined with the news that the Fins are offering Smith $8mil per year, it may be time for the Kaepernick Era in SF!

I hope Kaepernick does get to start there even if Peyton doesn't come here

seems like a good dude

Kaepernick is my homie.

Matt Flynn to the Seahawks.

Niners are sooo fucked if they don't get Peyton or Smith. Ugh.

:rofl:

Colts will make the playoffs next year and Andrew Luck will be the 2nd coming of God.
