Update on Mathis....

Albert Breer ‏ @AlbertBreer
Can confirm Robert Mathis and Colts have agreed to terms on a deal. Club will tag him to provide time to work out the final details.

So Garcon and Wayne are officially on the market.

that's interesting. did they not have enough cap room to tag one of those wrs? or do they not trust mathis at all?

They were working out a deal at the 11th hour with Mathis and seemed to have run out of time, so they tagged him as a precaution.

I guess the top FAs hitting the market:

Adam Schefter ‏ @AdamSchefter
Players NOT tagged include Packers QB Matt Flynn, G Carl Nicks, WRs Vincent Jackson, Marques Colston and Reggie Wayne, DE Mario Williams.

right, but having already agreed to terms, the tag smells like distrust

Yeah but basically it wasn't official what they had agreed to, and the Colts didn't want to risk losing Mathis because of technicalities and whatnot. It sounded like they did this as a precaution.

Fox is reporting Randy Moss has a workout scheduled with the Saints...good, that team could use some stability right about now

Was thinking the samething.

Bad bad Levi Brown doesn't seem like a good fit.

Grade: 70 | Key

Comment: Brown is a massive lineman with long arms and heavy, powerful hands that can shock and stymie pass-rushers. He is a good knee bender who can keep his pad level down to leverage blocks and has adequate lateral quickness and range for the left tackle spot. He can struggle when out on an island against some of the league's more athletic pass-rushers but generally wins once he gets his hands on the opponent. He has become a pretty good competitor and will finish blocks off once he gets the advantage, but could still use a more aggressive temperament on a consistent basis. He is quick to recognize games up front in the form of stunts and twists and keeps his head on a swivel when free to help other linemen.

Since Dallas tagged Spencer they are out of the M. WIlliams race, I'd say teams such as N.E, NYJ and HOU are all possible landing spots for him.
