His first tweet will probably end up being correct LOL

Manning is expected to sign with a team by Tuesday/Wednesday & isn't basing his decision on money.

 

 

 

According to the Denver Post, free agent Peyton Manning did not discuss contract terms during his weekend visits with the Cardinals and Broncos.

Manning kept it "strictly football" during both visits, and didn't even bring agent Tom Condon out west. The Post reports that Manning was "impressed" by the Broncos, and the Arizona Republic reported Sunday that Peyton was "really into" his Cardinals visit. The Post, as ESPN's Adam Schefter has recently, insists Manning "is not basing his decision on money." Per Post reporter Mike Klis, the Seahawks and Chiefs "are out" of the mix after Manning declined both teams' overtures. He is expected to sign with a new team by Tuesday or Wednesday.

 

Really? Do you think he's just going through the motions then? Something he's never been able to do? Who has two meetings with a team and don't discuss contracts?

Sione Pouha resigns with New York. It's a 3 year deal. This is important because Paul Soliai and his agent will likely get the same contract as Pouha.

 

How big is the deal? Pouha is over 30, but doesn't have much wear and tear on him. Is Soliai similar?

 

Not sure, honestly. I can't find the terms to the contract yet. It's a great signing, though. You can make a case he's the best Nose Tackle in football right now.

 

And what I Love Me Some Fish said is correct. Soliai struggled early in his career but has been very good lately. I don't think he's as good as Pouha, but Pouha set the market rate for Nose Tackles with his new contract so I expect Soliai to command the same.

Apparently, he's going to visit with Houston, even though they have Matt Schaub. Yet, he won't visit with Miami...

Peyton Manning will meet w Dolphins coach Joe Philbin & Titans coach Mike Munchak during next 3 days, scheduled away from team facilities.

I hope the video Manning is reportedly sending out to teams in leu of actually working out for them was produced by Yoenis Cespedes' people. With like, super cool star wipes from iMovie and Peyton doing a 22-inch vertical leap while his trainers go nuts.

Damn this.

The Houston visit was from Omar Kelly, btw.

lol, yea. I don't know where he got that from. I can't find it anywhere else on the internet.

Each team is rewarded 1.6 million in cap space. That should give Miami 18.2 million to spend.

Except the Cowboys, who lose $10M, and the Redskins, who lose $36M :lol

The Miami Herald confirms that the Dolphins are expected to pursue free agent Matt Flynn if they strike out on Peyton Manning.

The Herald suspects the bidding could get "awfully high," with the Browns and Seahawks likely to be in the mix as well. While coach Joe Philbin is a Flynn supporter, some in the organization reportedly have questions about whether Flynn can be an "elite quarterback." Owner Stephen Ross is taking an aggressive approach to landing a franchise QB whereas GM Jeff Ireland has a philosophy of "not paying a player any more than he thinks his value is."

He's solid, but he's nowhere near Ngata. A lot of the best guys seem to be DE/DTs, but Suh and Justin Tuck are filthy, too.

I believe we got the extra money because of them.

 

Foolish owners they are.

Ngata isn't necessarily a NT. He plays NT, but he's mainly their End or Defensive Tackle when they run a 4-3.

 

For what it's worth, Pouha was rated as the best NT last season, and was in the top 5 the season before by ProFootballFocus.com

That's what I'm saying; a lot of the best athletes move around.

 

I'd take Wilfork over Pouha, too. Not a knock on Pouha, but those guys are just filthy.

Eric Winson has been released. He would be a great signing for Miami. Unfortunately, this probably means Mario Williams will return to Houston.

Miami met with Manning for 5 to 6 hours on Monday.

Good

Mario or VJax.. just please get one and hopefully both!

Neither, you got Brandon Marshall. Dolphins trade Brandon Marshall to Chicago for two third round picks.

 

Horrible.

Wow. Dolphins better hope they get Manning.

I don't even know what to think, honestly. We now have an extra 9.1 million to add to the cap. It was reported Manning didn't want to throw to Marshall.
