This Free Agency period can all point back to one player, and his neck surgeries.

Maybe Greg Schiano had a good reason to bolt Rutgers for Tampa
At first glance, the decision made by current Tampa Bay Buccaneers Head Coach Greg Schiano to leave the same post at the University of Rutgers the day before national signing day seemed scandalous, but upon further review it seems to be making more and more sense.
Surprise! Reggie Wayne re-signs with Colts
In an unlikely turn of events, the Indianapolis Colts have re-signed long time receiver Reggie Wayne to a new three-year deal worth $17.5 million.

Why the Steelers should keep Rashard Mendenhall
Despite recent speculation and a continued lack of respect from the fans, the Pittsburgh Steelers should keep Rashard Mendenhall for the 2012-13 season.

NFL QB’s whose stock plummeted with Peyton Manning’s release

After all if he can return to 75 percent of what he once was he will still be better than a majority of the starting quarterbacks out there. It’s a known fact that Manning will rejuvenate a fan base and bring championship caliber credibility to whichever franchise he signs with. But what about the one’s he doesn’t choose? How will the team handle having to revert back to the old starter or someone else not named Peyton Manning? Here are three NFL quarterbacks who lost status because of Peyton Manning’s release.

Should the Bears bring Rex Grossman back to Chicago?
One of the many questions the Chicago Bears must answer this offseason is who will backup starting quarterback Jay Cutler in 2012. The past two years, Cutler’s seasons have ended prematurely as he watched from the sideline with an injury. Both times Cutler was replaced by Bears backup quarterback Caleb Hanie and both times Chicago fell short. The first time cost the Bears a trip to the Super Bowl and the second a postseason berth. The name Donovan McNabb has been bounced around as a possible quarterback that could back Cutler up in 2012. The move makes sense as McNabb is from Chicago and in the twilight of his career. But if McNabb isn’t yet willing to accept a backup role might Rex Grossman be coming back to Chicago.
