Its actually quite simple guys…If a team wanting Peyton quickly signs Clark, They can contact Manning and say “Wayne is next if you come aboard”. Hint hint Miami. Then say “we’re getting an OT with our 1st pick in the draft.” Clark could battle with Fasano at TE and having Reggie Wayne opposite Marshall would be quite formidable. Especially with Bess in the slot. Can u imagine that???? Reggie Bush in the backfield is FOR REAL in Miami, so use the rest of the picks on D and hope for some hidden gems. Thats it, and thats all folks…..Superbowl!

If the same team picks up Manning, Wayne, Garcon AND Clark I’m calling my bookie.

On PFT’s To Do list for the Dolphins…

Seam TE, deep threat WR, interior line (Saturday), QB.

That was easy.

That’s what I was thinking …Do it Ross …no more excuses

would much rather have Fleener at 32, Clark is a horrendous blocker and that is the main role of a TE in the Giants offense

if the 9ers dont give that 30th pick to the steelers for wallace, their is talk in the bay that harbaugh will draft fleener considering he knows him.

Between Manning, Saturday, Clark, Wayne, Garcon, and Addai, a team could theoretically purchase half of the Colts starting offense of the past 5 years.

It really is a buyers market this year.

@moebuccs

Yes, the article makes the point that Giants have injuries at TE and Clark could possibly be an affordable fix. However, the 10 year veterans minimum is $910 k and the ACL injuries which Beckum and Ballard suffered in SB XLVI should have them back by October at the latest and possibly week 1. Considering the fact that Eli and the coaching is the reason why Giants TE succeed, then it’s safe to assume that Dallas Clark will not be a Giant.

Sidenote: Dallas a Giant?!?!?

I wonder how new Colt QB Luck feels about all these moves? This adds a whole new meaning to “suck for Luck”. I smell an Elway/Eli style holdout.

Since Peyton was tied up in meetings with Elway and the Broncos Friday, I bet his cell phone was buzzing out of his pocket! Can’t help but wonder what he thought after he most likely heard from someone who got cut. He’s pretty tight with Reggie, Dallas and Jeff of course. The deep roster cuts after he left must have been a shocker.

Here’s a guy travelling across the country trying to find a new job home and when he emerges from a 6 hour interview, he learns that 5 of his buddies got whacked from the same roster he lead for 14 years.

You can bet your bottom dollar that this latest slice and dice will have an affect on where Peyton decides to go. That team might have to/try to lure him by picking up a few of this former teammates. A few familiar weapons would be an advantage. It’s not meant to be forever, but taking a fast run for the trophy would be in reach within 2 years.

It might be that the final team on his job hunt (Miami) will have more cards to deal for his decision. May not be a big paycheque but it’s a job. Dolphins could have the advantage here.

People lets not forget peyton manning has only played in one offence his entire career,then there is the issue with his health and arm strength. This reunion that I keep hearing now may not work out,besides theres areason why wayne,clarke,addai etc are free agents

lol@geo91.

@pbb

Like the article states though, he probably realizes he isn’t going to get much in the end regardless and could be tempted/intrigued by the idea of playing with Peyton’s brother. I don’t think the G-Men will repeat at all, but it is a possibility and they could definitely win another SB in the next three years, which like Peyton, I think Clark would actually care more about. He would fill an obvious need based on the injuries to Ballard and Beckum and could have one to two more shots at another SB ring or rings. And that is still important to some players. I believe Clark fits that description, IMO. It at least has to be considered. And why do I say that about the G-Men? They got a good coach and a great GM. There teams aren’t great great by any means but they are pretty damn good and consistent pretty much every year and always a favorite to take the NFC East crown.

Could you imagine if the three of them held a presser to announce they’re taking their talents to south beach to join the dolphins, followed by an unveiling concert haha that would be hilarious AND disgusting!

What better way to teach the Manning offense than to have Reggie and Dallas to help educate and get everybody up to snuff. A team with cap space and a line with a decent defense would be an immediate contender. I would love to see the trio in Miami! Booking a trip to see them as soon as they sign.

Clark is going to have to beat out Tebow for the starting H-Back job in Denver.

The Giants don’t put much value on expensive TEs, hence undrafted Jake Ballard being the starter and Kevin Boss previously. They use low draft picks and sign young guys, Bear Pascoe, from the waiver wire they can develop. There’s no chance they waste money on soon to be 33 year-old Clark.

Yeah, that was my immediate thought yesterday when reading about his release. I still think the Colts could surprise everybody and rob a team blind and get a bounty of picks this year and next year and totally rebuild. Doubtful because they want that franchise QB that is so important for any franchise to build a team around, but I won’t rule out anything until the 1st pick is in and the draft is underway. You just never know. There are some FA QBs still that would be better than Painter, Orlovsky and Collins combined, of course Painter is gone too, which I think is smart on the Colts.

Back on topic…I think its 90 percent that Clark goes to wherever Peyton ends up or he goes to NYG.
