Rumors

The Vikings are revisiting their interest in S O.J. Atogwe. Rumor the Broncos are also interested.

Manning

Manning meet with the Titans for 7 hours today and was offered a 'Contract for life' from them. I think Manning would be silly to turn down that sort of offer. He did leave the Titans without a deal though. But I thought that was to be expected. Hopefully we get an announcement from Manning tomorrow. My gut feeling is it will be the Titans. Unless some dark horse team swoops in at the last minute.

I said yesterday I was concerned with the Broncos lack of movement and that is still the case today. Hopefully tomorrow we have an answer to the Manning saga and the Broncos make some moves. ~ Aussie.
