...and they signed Chris Long as well. While having his share of injuries the last couple of years and his age, he still provides some veteran presence where you don't have to worry about whether or not he can pick up his assignments or not. Low risk, high reward after releasing Chandler Jones.
Good luck with Tannenbaum. He's got you guys in cap hell already and his draft picks sucked when he was employed by the jets.

How can you say that? He went to the AFCCG twice. Put talent around him and he's a pretty damn good game manager. Expect his to be an elite quarterback? Better pad your O linemen's asses.
Peyton Manning: My record with Marvin Harrison won’t be broken
I have to agree with him, not just because I think we'll never see such a talented duo, but given the economics of the game, its unlikely to have two great players on the same team for such a long time.

I don't like this BS "ride off into the sunset" crap. You always have to come back and defend your title. Also I find it funny how all these arm chair coaches always keep saying "manning should just retire" i'm pretty sure manning will do what he thinks is best. who are you really to say "itll look bad" if he just flounders staying one extra year.
Whoa whoa relax. All I'm saying is people are not always able to come back. Do you know how much pain he was in or how he felt after playing a game on Sunday? Only he knows....It's easy for you to sit there on your couch and say you don't like this riding off into the sunset crap, and call for someone to come back and defend a title. but you have no idea what a toll a football season takes on someone's body, especially a man who is now in his 40s and has been taking punishment to his body for so long.... I'm sure he would have wanted to keep playing a lot longer but sometimes you just can't physically.
i agree with everything you said. my problem is with people who insinuate that manning should listen to them. or they say "if i were in his place" but they're not. anyway i just meant that its my personal opinion that retiring and riding off into the sunset is dumb, but thats just me.
Or you could be like Babe Ruth and have to be told to go home because you physically can't play anymore. At some point these guys need to know when to hang it up and not make fools of themselves because they still "love the game". I would rather go out on top and not limping to the finish.
what defines "make a fool of themselves"? why should they care what fans think of them; its their livelihood. honestly i lose respect for players who try to pander to fans interest (like lebron when he went back to cleveland)
also that's your opinion which is fine. i'd rather be forced out and physically not able to play anymore rather than just "bow out" and worry about what nobody fans think of me.
Teams don't want to play washed up players. Denver was not going to renew his contract this year.
I say play as long as you possibly can. you get cut, well that is probably a sign to hang it up.
Why are people still arguing about Manning retiring or not when he's already come out and retired?
Looks like Colts owner Irsay is comparing the risk of CTE with that of taking an asprin. The more the NFL and its owners talk, the more they look like the big tobacco companies opening their mouths about the risks of smoking back in the 80s.
While there certainly needs to be more research, and hopefully they can develop a test to determine CTE while the person is alive, comments like Irsay's is just ludicrous

Sad day for Jets fans. D'Brickashaw Ferguson retiring after 10 seasons. Started 167 games, never on an injury report and only missed one play his entire career and that was on the last play of the game with the Jets down 7. Fun fact, Darrelle Revis played LT on that play. Amazing career.
Ridiculous, very disappointed as a Rams fan. This pretty much confirms that they're looking at the QB position, and the QB position only and want their pick of any of the 3 QB's. If this was last year, I wouldn't be as angry because we knew what we had on defense and it would be worth the gamble. Now that the Rams lost some key players, I don't know if I'd be comfortable giving up all those picks and not being able to draft the positions we lost in FA.
All I can say it's boom or bust not just for the player but for the coaching staff and top personnel. If you're giving away the future, one of these QB's better be the one. Washington gamble the same way but they were lucky they had Cousins when they did and how he transformed overnight.
