That's just crazy. LOL

This would have been the craziest story of the day had the Redskins not traded away their next three first round draft picks a couple hours ago.

 

Wouldnt it be something if they traded there next three first round draft picks for Mark Sanchez

 

damn $27Million for a guy they were ready to dump...amazing

 

Absolutely ridiculous. I bet he's not their starter in 2013.

 

And halfway through the season they will discuss benching him.

 

Great move. Frees up cap space n if he works out, we have him locked up at a bargain. Jets thinking long term...not broke neck Manning. Can't wait for free agency...

Sanchez was decent at times...

Sanchez was terrible at times...

 

So he's 2006 Rex Grossman?

 

So the Jets knew they wern't going to get Peyton Manning. They decide to over pay Mark Sanchez, brillant.

 

:2bang9hj:

I'd accept that...lol.

 

yep, a lot of these teams were just waiting to find out if they had a chance at Peyton ........

sanchez is signed

alex smith will now sign with the 49ers

This really hecked us with Alex. He's about as crapty as Sanchez and now is going to want that kind of money in addition to the 5 years he's been asking for. I hope they let him walk before they pay that kind of coin for that length of time.

 

You guys spent damn near a first rounder on Colin Kaepernick last year, so letting him walk has to be an option

 

I'm still sticking to the fact that he isn't their starter for their opening game in 2013.
