He needs a quality QB, a couple of WRs, a backup TE and will probably replace Portis too IMO,

Apart from that their in great shape

I know that most of the best players are under contract as there was a list I saw of who will be available and it looked not too hot.

I'm convinced there will be a new CBA. Like Conroy said, only a few teams would not want a cap.

I'm loving the Manning hate, but I hate Eli much more than Peyton!

Manning hate in NYC ? Elisha ( his full name - female ! ) will never be 2% of what Peyton is.

and yet hes higher paid what a joke the NFL can be at times

Matthew Stafford signed a rookie contract that was more or less the same as the last one Tom Brady got too !!!

I think they definately should bring in a rookie salary cap ASAP

I agree but it'd be extremely difficult.

What do you make it? Number 1 pick gets X amount? Player 2 to 5 get X? etc

What about difference in position. QB's would/should be worth more than another position even if taken in the same spot.

I dont have a clue to be honest like you say its difficult to work out, I think I will leave it to the so called experts in the NFL

Maybe a rookie cap should be introduced as a maximum amount with the ability to earn on top when hitting targets. So Stafford would say trigger a payment for reaching 3000 yard and 10 TD's etc?

Chuffing Michael Turner looks as though he is going to play which balls up my backfield as i had settled on Snelling for this week. Toss up between Forsett and Jones now

I agree with giving them incentives/targets to hit but that may lead to arguments about teams not playing people in order to stop payments/bonuses!

On the other hand it will give the players something to aim for and improve not that they should need it.

You know what Americans are like suing eachother

Just been looking at the stats and i'm suprised to see that Ryan Grant has the second most carries in the league (209) after S-Jax with 215.

He's been pretty average but i thought he'd carried much less than that.

2 consecutive passes from Freeman to Bryant (41 and 42 yds) lead to us getting back into the game. 10-7 to the Falcons.
