I think they have a take it or leave it offer ready for Manning. Which I hear may be acceptable to him. Don't know what the offer is, or what other teams might be thinking.
As for Griffin, everyone talks about us getting a great deal bc Fisher and Shanahan are good friends. I say so what. There are great friends all around the league. But for shots and giggles let's go with that and say they're conspiring to drive up the price Cleveland has to pay.
Really all depends on Manning and Flynn I think
I was thinking the same thing.

I want Manning, Griffin, and VJAX! Talk about reloading lol. That would be a football dream come true, one which is highly probable of materializing.

I dont know if thats the case but there is no reason to strike any kind of deal now. Only a sucker would make a bid before free agency begins and some teams solve their QB problems via free agency. Shanny is no sucker.

Anyone know what the franchise tag would net him?
If tagged this year Brees would get 16 mil and change. If it is true he wants 25 mil a year it would actually be prudent for the Saints to franchise him the next three years at 120% of the previous year's salary. Instead of 23-25 mil per year the Saints could guarantee they would have him at 16, 18 and 20 mil and change the next three years. At which time he would be 36 and most likely headed for a decline in his playing ability.

Look at your list you are also showing that there is a 50/50 chance this won't work .Out of your list there are only 3 Super bowl QB's on the list (I don't count Carr)
I don't think going or winning a SB necessarily makes you a great or bad QB there are to many other variables in the formula to sole say the team made or didn't make the SB becasue of it's QB play.

I'm increasingly getting the impression that what I heard the first few months of all this is the real story re: our interest in RG3. It maybe it's that I got burned at the very last minute by a usually extremely reliable source re: Gabbert that I'm now hesitant
Who's to say that intel was wrong? Three of the ES insiders had made the exact same claim you did last year. Maybe they just got a offer the couldn't refuse and decided the extra players were worth more than what they had Gabbert rated as. Either that or they are putting info out there for the sole purpose of throwing people off.
