QB Apocalypse: The Seventh Sign

I was told last night they had been meeting.

I thought they weren't going to because Jordan Shipley couldn't make it....

But seriously, did they actually meet? Last I heard they were going to, but then I went to watch Lin and the Knicks embarrass the Wizards so I didn't ever follow up

Alright smoot and tailgate, what have you heard about what we plan on doing in terms of building our team, if/when we get manning? (i.e. do we sign Reggie Wayne, bring in Tom moore, get an OT in the draft?)

I really don't want to spill all the beans, but I do believe the Redskins have no interest in Wayne. Maybe if he takes some low-ball contract, but otherwise I doubt he'll be here if Peyton comes.

There's a list of others, as the talks get heated up more with them, I'll post it up. I know we have a couple linemen, WR's and QB's (backups) in FA we're looking at.

Yeah, unfortunately I had watched that game too. The meeting however I was told was taking place around 11ish at night.

I wonder how closely our lists match up.

I would assume they're both close for the most part, you might have a little more, I might, but I'm sure we're both in the same ballpark.

so whats the definative answer - can manning sign with a team before the start of free agency if he's released?

Yes. It'll be the same as Atogwe last year. He should be able to sign with a club immediately upon getting cut.

Here's the next question really once PM is release.


When do you sign him?


The main thing right now is the nerve regeneration and his throwing strength. You can't have draft plan thinking you'll sign him after the draft and because he could decide to go elsewhere, leaving you stranded. So do you sign him prior to the draft even knowing his nerves haven't regenerated yet? I understand it'll be a incentive laden deal, but even so, it's still risky. So do you just roll into the draft without Peyton in your plans, and then sign him in May/June?

I'm glad I'm not having to make this decision.

Well I'd say you sign him immediatly if possible only so he can start learning the new play calls for his new team. Secondly your gunna want to get him on some form of rehab schedule. Hopefully it's Vet min. with a ton of incentives but it has been mentioned here before that he probably won't accept that. I'd imagine some decent contract that has an out if he can not start come Sept.

you sign him in the first 3-7 days or someone else will already have him... his arm strength may be total crap this year, but thats the chance you're taking... you figure if he was ready to go the colts would just keep him unless he insists on them not taking luck.
