2012 Free agency chatter thread

Just want to say Todd archer was right on Grubbs, he said since he would get in the 7 million range dallas wouldn't be interested and that is exactly what he got..

It sucks that we spent the Past 3 months talking about upgrading the line and now they are just not going to put money at guard or center, at least not yet. Sucks. We had better decastro in the draft or its going to be the same ol thing.

I like what Callahan brings as a coach though, and he had a major hand in picking the guy we signed yesterday.

I also think its crazy to totally write off the young guys we have like Kowalski, Arkin and even Nagy. With more strength, experience and better coaching 1 or 2 of them might really develop.

Why the F is Tennessee offering Manning ownership?

I get he's a former Vol. I get that he's a legend. I get that you think by signing him you have a shot to win a SB immediately (I don't agree with that, but I can see how a team could sell that to it's fanbase).

But you just drafted a talented rookie who showed well in his first year.

And lets not forget, Peyton is a Colt. Said he'll always be a Colt. You know, your arch rival?

The whole think is just weird.

I don't get how that's even legal.

@Calvin Watkins
Jason Garrett seemed to leave the door open about a return for Kevin Ogletree at WR. He mentioned him when asked to speak about the WRs.

Lee said on the post game after the loss to the giants that he and Carter were going to be together all offseason, I think he said Carter was going to get sick of him..
