Remember that year we signed all of those Jets players? Who is up for Manning, Wayne, Garcon, and Freeney (when he gets cut)?

Lol @Freeney. The conversion will be one year wasted in itself.

Pick one of Wayne or Garcon, and let the other go. A case can be made for either, but not both. Wayne does have the U connection though.

I guess I would take the younger one, but honestly there has to be better options out there. I for one am not going to pay a premium contract to Wayne and Garcon is often injured.

no doubt sir cp

Just like that, the 2012 QB Free Agent class joins the 2012 QB Draft Class as one of the strongest in memory.

I say Washington and Arizona are the only true landing spots maybe Miami but I see Flynn there

At first I asked why he would want to go to Arizona but after seeing that they finished with an 8-8 record with Kolb and Skelator as their QB's well safe to say the pitch writes itself. Then again every year is different.

Dood, Larry Fitz is still there, waiting for the next QB to make him be a superstar again.

Well Peyton could also be thinking Colts in the playoffs with me and 2/14 without. I can go to any team and win.

My question is if we got Peyton could we afford VJax, a gaurd and others? Plus will we still go after RGIII?

To get Manning to come to your neck of the woods you need to assure him that you'll be putting all your resources into building a winner for the coming year, at the very least. That means all free agents and early draft picks go towards guys that can make an immediate impact. So in terms of getting RG3, no. Heck it's possibly you might not even be able to get Tannehill.

As Smoot alluded to before. Signing Manning could easily mean a Manning-Cousins QB stable.
