When said franchised player is arguably the greatest player to ever play the most important position on the team, then all bets are off. Two first rounders are a small price to pay when you're talking about Peyton.
Yes they will. You will have two 1st rounders in hand when someone bids on him. By matching that bid you will be in effect giving up two 1sts for him. So no matter what, someone will be giving up two 1sts for him. Probably the Titans.
Gish will probably hate me but I just helped PSG clear 5M + in cap space getting Wayne but whatever. Made sense for me.
Hey, UCF Finatic: Your inbox is full, but I accept your last deal you just offered me. Want me to post it?
Same. Sorry about Beason, though. lol. He's just too important to my already awful defense. If Thomas Davis and James Anderson weren't UFA, I would have definitely listened to offers for Beason.
Bottom line is my plan is to match any offer. Having said that, if the 2 first rounders you have are 31 and 32, I'll match no matter what. If you have 2 top 10 picks......I'll have a decision on my hands.
Well, my plan is to give up as little as possible. As of right now I have #8 and #27, but Im working on trading down.
The funny thing is that one could just work out a trade with the Colts and save themselves the money as well. After the 24 hour period during free agency, you are free to trade your franchised UFAs and tendered RFAs. In reality, GISH has only hurt himself... he has damaged the relationship with another GM already thus making the Peyton Manning sweepstakes more about money than compensation. Bold move, real bold. But please continue, this is good entertainment... Vince McMahon would be drooling right now.
Exactly. And at this point I will match no mater what GISH offers, just out of spite. I could care less what it does to my cap. He is not getting Peyton with the 2 low 1sts he's trying to acquire. He could of done this the right way and I may have dealt Peyton to him.....now....no chance in hell.
I could have kept my plans a secret and left psg totally unprepared for the ambush on his kingdom. But I like the show. Makes it more of a challenge. Just like Fin-O's mom, I always get my man.
I like the show too. The best part will be when I match your offer and then trade him to someone else. Simply out of spite. Who wants Peyton!
No way he trades me Manning after he signs him. This way is easier. He gets 2 first rounders. I get Manning. Negotiations complete. I'll pay Manning as much as possible to make it happen. You can't put a price on winning. The AFC South has existed for 9 years. The Colts have won it every time. Got a problem? Throw money at it. That's life.
Are you really going to match my offer? You'll lose so much by doing that. You've already lost Reggie Wayne and Bob Sanders because of this. Will it cost you Dallas Clark and Dwight Freeney as well?
Reggie Wayne hurt a bit. Sanders is broken and not nearly worth 5.5 mil. Clark and Freeney will stay unless I get a good offer. I told you already, if the 2 first rounders aren't high enough I will match. You claim to be this great GM, go get me 2 top 10 picks and Peyton could be all yours. You're already halfway there....
Assuming this isn't a game - and I'm still not cinvinced you're coming after him - you should've kept it quiet. Now I will make sure I can match any offer you make if want to. It's all going to come down to what kind of 1st rounders you have.
