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.
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... Sent from my DROID RAZR using Tapatalk
So the Jets knew they wern't going to get Peyton Manning. They decide to over pay Mark Sanchez, brillant.
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 matt flynn, kyle orton, and jason campbell can now easily find homes............
haha. wait a minute, i just found out the details of the contract ............... holy crap, $27 mill guaranteed ?!?! this is great news ................. they're almost stuck with him as their starter for the next couple of years ............ YES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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
