[quote=SmootSmack;879490]Still waiting on final piece of info[/quote]

Well get on the horn, man!

Re: The Big Rumor: If The Colts Take Luck, Then Manning Could Be...
 

the Skins, according to Hogs Haven, are showing significant interest in LT Mike Adams (potential first rounder). It makes you wonder if this factors into the scenario that SS and SC have been referencing. Could we be trading both Rak and TW for Bradford or the 2nd overall pick and keeping our 1.6 pick? It's interesting if this would factor into it...

Who knows, though. The Skins could be just looking at contingency plans.

Well I'll you this. And you've heard me say it before I think. There are pretty strong indications that if they stay at 6 they're going OL. I've heard Martin (and a bit of Reiff), not so much Adams.

But it's still soooo sooo early

isnt this all really premature? i mean, trades cant happen until march anyways, right? sure, there could be a "gentlemans agreement" on a deal now, but anything like that would almost certainly change or fall appart in two months.

Lets be honest, there will be very little tangible and concrete breaking news for the foreseeable future (e.g. from now to the days leading up to Free Agency). Rumor and hearsay are basically all we are clinging onto right now...

So will we have the info by tomorrow when the 72 hour mark hits?

The second rule of SmootSmack club is to never question when we get juicy info.

Re: The Big Rumor: If The Colts Take Luck, Then Manning Could Be...
 

Manning needs to STFU and ask for his release. Go out in control and hopefully finish on top.

My info isn't predicated upon any 72 hour deadline

I don't agree with you at all on this point.

First of all, there is a $28M bonus at stake for Peyton Manning. Now, I don't think that Irsay will pay that bonus because the Colts are obviously going to rebuild with either Luck or RGIII, but there may be a slim chance that PM will get the $28M.

Secondly, Irsay doesn't want PM to comment because he (Irsay) wants to control the message to the Colts fans about why he is about to let PM walk. He wants to come across as a concerned friend who doesn't want Peyton to suffer a disabling injury, so he'll save Peyton from himself by advising Peyton to retire [U]and then not pay PM the $28M bonus.[/U] What a crock! Here's an idea: if Irsay is so concerned about PM, then he can offer PM $10M to retire now as a Colt.

Peyton, no doubt, doesn't want any potential future employer to get the idea that he won't be able to recover fully from his injury. If enough GM's got that idea in their heads, it would be detrimental to PM's negotiating position as a FA.
