hey! Buffalo is a great city, might be cold but that's it.

we're also not far away from the playoffs, just have to avoid injuries

though I admit that's easier said than done

Please! The inmates are running the asylum up there.

Just told: "Dolphins are preparing for worst and intensifying pursuit of Matt Flynn. Titans think they can land Manning by end of week"

They certainly have the cap room to do just about whatever they want. I thought Manningham was supposed to sign with them as well? Either way, Jackson and Nicks would give their offense a much needed boost.

Brandon Carr - DB - Chiefs

NFL Network's Michael Lombardi reports free agent CB Brandon Carr could sign with the Cowboys as early as Tuesday night.
Carr is the top remaining cornerback on the market, and would fill a massive need for a team routinely done in by its secondary last season. It's unlikely Cowboys owner Jerry Jones will let Carr get away.

No he's coming to SF I don't care what it takes, we are weaker at receiver it only makes sense to pick him up or persue Wallace

There are other options as well. Doucet, Caldwell, Maechem, and Royal are all still out there. Plus I'm sure we will pick up at least 2 WR's in the draft.

Indy - is that the answer you are looking for?

AH, he resigned with Indy? wow....

thanks!

Evan Silva:

Rams interest in Eric Winston may hint the new regime believes Saffold can be an NFL left tackle. Winston is a right tackle.

Meachem gets $14 mil gtd

 

[numone9er]

So, who's next in line on your WR wish lists? I'd hope we would maybe try and go after Doucet, Simpson, or Caldwell.

My favorite story of the day. Made me laugh out loud.

Woody Johnson is saying the Jets “passed on” Peyton Manning

Peyton Manning never wanted to play for the New York Jets.

But Jets owner Woody Johnson has a different kind of take.

“We passed on him,” Johnson told the Fox Business Network, via the New York Daily News. “Our fans expect us to look at every opportunity.” Johnson went on to heap praise on Mark Sanchez.

In Johnson’s mind, the Jets actually decided Sanchez was a better option than Manning. Mark Sanchez over Peyton Manning. For real.

“Sanchez is not leaving,” Johnson proclaimed. “We’ve got a pretty good tether. We’ve got five years. We like Mark.”
