Helping Your Franchise

Ben Roethlisberger is probably one of the smartest quarterbacks in the NFL. In order for the Pittsburgh Steelers to keep their Pro Bowl wide receiver (Mike Wallace) many players on the team would have to restructure their contracts in order to fit the salary cap. The highly talented Mike Wallace is the most versatile wide receiver in the NFL and is the highest prized free agent on the market. It would definitely be tough to lose such a great weapon. Roethlisberger gave up 8 million dollars and restructured his contract in an effort to keep his number one deep threat. I believe that in order for the Steelers to have the best chance to win next season, they must find every possible way to keep Mike Wallace!

Peyton Manning to the Redskins?





The Indianapolis Colts are in the middle of one of the craziest off seasons in recent memory. With the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, they need to decide whether to keep Peyton Manning or to release him. The projected #1 overall pick Andrew Luck is the kind of quarterback prospect that maybe comes around once every couple decades and is considered to be the most hyped prospect of all-time. At this point it is starting to look like Manning has played his last game as a Colt. The Washington Redskins are in desperate need for a quarterback and Manning would definitely be a player on their radar. Owner Daniel Snyder never shy's away from spending his money to bring in some big named free agents. Manning would be a good fit and I am almost positive that the Redskins would pay him the money that he wants and deserves.



I believe that the Redskins would be an immediate playoff contender if they add Peyton Manning to the mix.

"Linsanity" Continues

Jeremy Lin took the national spotlight by storm the last few weeks. He has seemingly come out of nowhere   to become one of the NBA's most popular player and playing All Star like basketball. He got no scholarship offers coming out of high school and went to Harvard to get a good education. He played four years of basketball at Harvard University. Lin came into the NBA with nothing to lose and played his heart out every time he touched the court. His motto was to take advantage of every opportunity that he got. When he was given the opportunity he did exactly what he said he would do. Lin took advantage! Over his first seven starts he is averaging 23 points and 9 assists per game. Now this is a player who was not even sure if he was going to be playing on any NBA team the following week. I think that now it is safe to say Lin will be there for many more weeks to come.

Interesting Fact: Lin's jersey is the highest selling jersey in the NBA throughout the past two weeks!
