It's hard to believe the player's union let's that one get in the CBA. It's a very loaded tool, and really does nothing for player/team relationships.
I just simply can't believe the Ain'ts don't have him tied up. I guess they forget what it was like being the Aint's, thanks to Brees?
Now I'm pissed.

They just gave Marques Colston a five year deal today, too. Good times.

Yesterday Peyton told Miami and Arizona that he'd ruled them out. I thought that was a pretty classy move, at least those guys can chase what they need now.
I'm not sure if he told AZ before or after they had to decide about paying Kolb his 7M roster bonus, I'd hope he did.
San Fran jumped into the fray, that surprised me. Peyton has done really well in his workouts for teams and has passed all his physicals and health issue scrutiny, that might be what prompted San Fran to move.
That leaves four teams, Denver (who reportedly tendered a 90M/5 Year deal that was a 60M/5 year deal with 30M guaranteed earlier in the day, so take that info for what it's worth), Tennessee, San Fran and I just drew a blank on the other. My pills must have just kicked in.

From perusing the ESPN article this morning they made it sound like there's only three teams in the hunt; Denver, Tennessee, and San Fransisco.

And in other news, Tebow was traded to the jets.

Quick question: How will Manning and Fox work out together? Fox is a run-happy coach who can't stand to put the ball in the air.

Manning will do what he knows and call the plays like he always has in the past.

Coach can call all the plays he wants but in the end, It will be Manning calling the plays and the coach won't be able to do anything about it.
They need Manning, Manning dosn't need them.
