#RL Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum on conference call tonight: QB Mark Sanchez has signed contract extension with the Jets. No terms disclosed.

Glad to be scratching that team off of the Peyton list. He must have told the Skins and Jets that he wasn't interested, because they both made big moves for QBs today.

Congrats to the Dolphins(If they have Peyton)/Patriots for being AFC East champs for the next 5 years.

[CCH]

YES! No Peyton to the Jets, and they'll be mediocre for years to come!!

[ColtsLegacy]

Jets strive for mediocrity!

I also saw where Manning is going to continue meeting with Denver in the morning.

• Eli Manning has four years, $55.9 million (in salaries) left on his current contract. Mark Sanchez newly extended contract will reportedly pay him $58.25 million over the next five years. ... Discuss amongst yourselves. #NYG

Avg of 13 for Eli and 11 for Sanchez when he should be making about 7 per at most. Crazy deal.

Yes. He's averaging $13.5 a year, according to NFL.com. Unbelievable.

I wouldn't pay him $7 mil...I consider him to be a good backup; he hasn't shown anything to warrant being a starter in this league. The Jets are just trying to stick with their guy, blindly paying him when he hasn't done anything to deserve it. The defense and running game will have to continue to carry this team...

Fun fact: Sanchez has more playoff wins than Tony Romo

So that takes the Jets out of the running. As I see it now the remaining teams are:

Miami

Denver

KC

Seattle

Tennessee

Sanchez sucks

Got to include Arizona - he's visiting tomorrow.

Sanchez sucks

Im giving him one more year for me to make my official judgement on him. He hasn't really shown improvement, but I think he could this year. Let's see how he does with a new contract. He'll either do really well or really crappy, that's how big contracts work.

Yes yes, you're right, I forgot.

I would take out seattle and add houston. No way Manning goes to Seattle. they suck.

Seattle's secondary is very good, their linebacking core is pretty good, and their D-line is one good guy away from being good. O-line is young and could easily get Decastro. Lynch is a beast and they have some good receivers/tight ends there. They have Sidney Rice, Zach Miller and Doug Baldwin. They're one PM away from being a playoff bound team.

_{Only one way to respond:}

_LOL

_{Pretty sad when on a given day you have the same or greater chance of calling heads or tails correctly on a coin flip than Sanchez does of completing a pass...}

Manning is not the player he was. He may never play again. He'll never be great again.

This type of crap makes me wanna slap the crap outta someone. Wont name names though ^^^^^^^^!!!!!

I could also see Houston, Baltimore, Arizona, and potentially San Francisco in the mix. Apparently Manning is using a part of his trip out west to visit Arizona after he meets with Denver.

Yes, at the end of the season, their defense started to get really good.

54% career completion rate. I don't see that changing.

sancrap is not worth 12 mil a year

[-JJ-]

Bear in mind you can't compare player's salaries from different times when the contract was signed. Highest paid one year isn't in following years.

I still think he can be a good starter but like Andy says, this would be the telling year.

He's not going to Baltimore. Probably not going to Houston and probably not going to San Francisco.

Those places make sense from Manning's perspective but outside of San Fran (who for some reason wants Alex Smith back) it doesnt make sense from the team's perspective.

From everything ive read Baltimore is pretty close to the cap and wants to extend Flacco soon anyways. Houston is already strapped to the cap and has Schaub.

Arizona I could def. see though.
