    Incarcerated Bob is reporting that the Manning Era just ended in Indy.

    This could be sign that the Colts are actually going to keep him after all

    The Raiders will cut Kamerion Wimbley if he doesn't restructure his contract - which he has said he was unwilling to do.

    I have heard reports the Niners are interested in Wallace at the expense of their 1st round pick.

    Desean Jackson has had the franchise tag slapped on him.

    I am a bit surprised by this move.


    edit: According to nfl.com: "the Raiders have informed SS Tyvon Branch he will be hit with the franchise tag, according to a league source.

    Branch, a fourth-round pick by the Raiders in 2008, has been a full-time starter the past three seasons, starting 48 consecutive games.

    The franchise tag value for safeties is expected to be $6.2 million in 2012, down from $8.8 million in 2011."

    A very thin Safety pool gets thinner as the best one goes off the market :(
