He's just got a first round tender, can't the Pats give up their later pick for Wallace? They've have to sign him to a pretty massive contract though.

they can afford to give up the first rounder fine since it would be the 31st and they have the 27th as well. The money makes it a little bit more complicated, but after cutting ocho, they could afford both lloyd + wallace if lloyd takes about 5m per year (lol). Would still leave them enough money for rookies + a few random role players on D (I'm betting they cut arrington this off season too, especially if we get a 1-3rd round CB).

Gronk 'getting jacked at all times' for 'Madden' cover

Spoiler: show

Rob Gronkowski is aware of the so-called Madden Curse and its ill effects on a long list of NFL stars, but the Patriots tight end is throwing caution to the wind in a full-force effort to become EA Sports' "Madden NFL 13" cover boy.

Gronk and wideout Wes Welker are in the running to represent New England in this year's fan-driven cover contest, per The Boston Globe. Voting is already underway to decide which Patriots star will advance to face players from 31 other NFL teams.

Despite the cautionary tale spun by last year's winner, Browns running back Peyton Hillis, Gronk minces no words in his latest YouTube offering, encouraging his glassy-eyed "Gronk Nation" followers to get out the vote.

"It's just not because of the dedication on the field, but it's also because of the dedication off the field! Hard workers at all times! LET'S GO, BRO!" Gronk screams from his couch, donning a cast on his left ankle after recent surgery.

"Doing curls, busted ankle, cast on it -- IT DON'T STOP ME!" he continues, curling a crutch weighted down by one of his beefy brothers, before announcing: "Just getting jacked at all times, going crazy!"

The camera then pans to reveal even more Gronkowski Bros. -- stuffed into bad-80s-flashback, leopard-striped pajama pants -- in various stages of exercise on the living-room floor. Who went through the trouble of carpeting this room? Situating furniture? (Mrs. Gronkowski, you are a patient woman.)

Despite the dense meathead vibe, Gronk's enthusiasm is catchy -- perhaps only because we don't want to find ourselves in a dark alley against this clan of burlies.

Want to help make Gronk's dreams come true? Vote for him here through March 21.

Report: Chiefs have already offered Manning a contract | National Football Post

The team that took on Joe Montana in the twilight of his career is apparently hoping for the same type of short-term revival with Manning, as radio host Brandon Spano reports, citing a source, that the Chiefs have already prepared a contract offer for the quarterback who has been on the open market less than 24 hours after officially clearing waivers on Thursday.


lol, didn't waste no time.

Chiefs were the only other place I could see Manning going to. I picked Houston mostly because they have a dome, awesome WR and RB, and a very good Defense. Plus the Cowboys would be overshadowed by the Texans. I can only dream of the tears that a Texans Championship would bring.

did they just resign mathis to a monster deal?

[tyven]

any team with a HALF decent defense needs to bring in manning, wayne, clark, saturday and then not even bother scheduling games because opposing teams wont even take the field

[Tyche]

Three of the broncos will be suspended for 4-6 games of next season. That's I heard on the radio. First the skins bounty scans then this. Other teams vying for manning need to get in the middle of a scandal.

Sorry for the horrible post, I'm on my phone and driving
