Manning, however, said he wanted to pick the team first, before any negotiations would ensue, meaning Condon was now down to one team to negotiate with. And when Manning picked Denver, he simply asked Condon: “What does Tom Brady make?” “$18 million a year.” “Then I don’t want to make a penny more than that.” Condon’s visions of a $25 million a year deal were dashed, although the Broncos’ opening offer was $19.4 million a year. Condon phoned to tell Manning, who was incensed: “I told you I didn’t want to make more than Brady!” Condon apologized, hung up and called Manning’s wife, who responded, “I’ll take care of it,” and coaxed Manning to accept the Broncos’ offer.

Peyton really makes it hard to hate him. Luckily he has an awful QB “look” and that goes a long way for me.

Two Patriots mock drafts

by

Couple of mock drafts to pass along today from two of the best Pats writers out there – Doug Kyed of NESN.com and Steve Balestrieri of PatsFans.com.

You’ll find similar themes in both and even the same player – CJ Fiedorowicz, possibly my own favorite tight end in this class. Both are addressing the trenches and tight end with some solid Pats fits at whatever positions later in the draft.

I think this is the way it’s going to go. The must get some good young depth, especially at interior offensive line.

I am always encouraged when I see other guys like Doug and Steve out there picking guys that I have on my big board already. I’ll be dropping that in the next week by the way, just need to get from 72 down to 50.

Between Belichick cautioning reporters to “verify”, Wilfork stating his pending comments will be his “FIRST” remarks and owner Robert Kraft saying Monday he “surely hopes” that Wilfork will remain with the team, there seems to be a cooling off in progress since Wilfork cleaned out his locker and took down his nameplate. What’s emerged in the past 18 hours is that, while the situation with Wilfork isn’t ideal, it is salvageable.

In other words, receivers coming out of these systems are forced to learn a new way to speak about and learn the game. Instead of simply being told to run a slant or a go route, which makes learning a playbook much easier, they have to understand the concepts of each play and their assignment within in.
