With yesterday’s news that Peyton Manning had chosen Denver as his new home going forward, the quarterback he was signed to replace, Tim Tebow, and where he might be traded to became the newest topic du jour around the league. In that vein, I’ve decided to make a single post to handle all of the rumors [...]

From the moment it was announced that Peyton Manning would be set free from his contract in Indianapolis, the rumors of where he might end up playing next fall began to swirl at gale force speed, gathering strength as he took his first visit to Denver, and never really let up throughout the remainder of the [...]

Aside from Peyton Manning, the only other quarterback on the free agent market to draw significant interest has been Matt Flynn, who has spent his entire career thus far as the backup in Green Bay. Miami, Cleveland, and Seattle seemed to be the leaders for his services going into free agency, and according to ESPN’s [...]

In the 10 days or so that Peyton Manning has been a free agent, rumors have put his future home in multiple locales around the country, from Denver to San Francisco with Tennessee in between. Throughout the process, little if any details have emerged with regard to a possible contract figure for Manning, and while there [...]

In a move that is almost certain to foment even more speculation regarding the future home of Peyton Manning, the Titans have reportedly agreed on a three year deal with offensive guard Steve Hutchinson (Vikings). Hutchinson is a close friend of Manning and was torn between going back to play in Seattle, his first team in [...]

In the midst of all the free agent hoopla, the Vikings have had their focus drawn away towards the legal proceedings involving cornerback Chris Cook, who was accused of choking and physically assaulting his girlfriend. They’ll likely breathe a sign of relief today, as the jury in Cook’s trial has rendered a not-guilty verdict on all [...]

One of the more interesting sidebars of NFL free agency is that players often spend the time before they become available talking at length about enjoying the whole process and seeing what’s available before making a decision. After the signing period begins though, most of those players end up taking just one visit and sign [...]

A little more than a year ago, Peyton Hillis was one of the best running backs in the league, finishing off a monster season with the Browns in which he racked up 1,177 yards and 11 touchdowns on 270 carries, earning a spot on the cover of Madden ’12 in the process. Fast forward to this [...]

Growing up in the Twin Cities, John Carlson had a view of the Vikings from afar as a fan. Now he’ll have a chance to see it all up close and personal a member of the team, reportedly agreeing to a five year, $25 million contract with Minnesota, with $11 million of that guaranteed. The [...]

After their free agency spending spree got them nowhere last season, the Eagles have quietly gone about their business this year, trying to keep their own players in the fold, before turning their sights to improving from the outside. One of those players is defensive end Trent Cole, and according to multiple sources, Philadelphia has [...]

Wed @ 9:58 am CST — ESPN has the numbers on Johnson’s new deal… $132 million with $60 million guaranteed. Staggering is the only word that comes to mind. 9:53 am CST — With just one year remaining on his first NFL contract, All Pro wide receiver Calvin Johnson was set to become a very [...]

Headed into the off-season, the Buccaneers were expected to be major players in the free agent signing period, given the massive amount of salary cap space they were projected to have available at their disposal. Through the first 18 hours, they’ve lived up to that billing and then some, tossing out money to their free [...]

After handing out one of the largest contracts ever for a wide receiver on Vincent Jackson yesterday, Tampa Bay has continued their plunge deep into the waters of free agency this morning, reportedly agreeing to five year deal with cornerback Eric Wright (Lions). ESPN’s Adam Schefter first reported the news. Wright, 26, spent his first four seasons [...]

It’s funny how fast things change during the first few days of the free agency signing period, and this year’s installment has been no exception to that. A great example came late last night, as it was widely expected that the Bills would do almost anything possible to get a deal done with wide receiver [...]

The Bears hit one pitch out of the park early on in the free agent period, trading for troubled but talented wide receiver Brandon Marshall, but they fell short on the one prize of free agency they really wanted, defensive end Jeremy Mincey, as he has reportedly signed a four year contract to stick it [...]

Just as the free agent signing period got under way, the Bears surprised everyone by sending two third round picks south to Miami in exchange for Pro Bowl wide receiver Brandon Marshall. Here’s a quick smattering of what people are saying about the trade around the league… ESPN North blogger Kevin Seifert opines that now [...]

One of the biggest priorities for the 49ers this off-season was to keep as many of their own free agents as possible in place, preferring to stick with the roster that played their way to the NFC title game last year instead of breaking the bank in free agency. It’s easier said than done though, [...]

Throughout the off-season, Indianapolis has been at the forefront of the news cycle, more for the players they’ve shockingly let go than the free agent targets they hoped to sign. That changed quickly a few minutes ago, as ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that wide receiver Reggie Wayne has decided to re-sign with the Colts [...]

One of the more surprising moves this off-season was the Titans decision not to use their franchise tag on cornerback Cortland Finnegan, preferring instead of designate safety Michael Griffin, in an effort to save money and allow younger players to step up into Finnegan’s role. Tennessee’s loss has now become St. Louis’ gain, as Alex [...]

It’s been rumored for several days now that Tampa Bay would show immediate interest in wide receiver Vincent Jackson, given their need for a big time playmaker at his position. True to form, that’s exactly how it played out this afternoon when the free agent signing period began, as ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that [...]
