If not for the first round tender the Steelers put on him, he would have a new team by now. It was thought the Patriots might still go after him as they have 2 first round picks. However, the Pats clearly thought Brandon Lloyd + a 1st round pick were a better value than just Mike Wallace. Of course, it doesn't hurt that with Lloyd the Pats know more about what they're getting since his best years were with Josh McDaniels in Denver and then St. Louis. Of course, Josh is back in his old office now as the Pats' o-coordinator.

OK Payton is with Denver, he had to go somewhere, but Tebow to the JETS!. I just don't get that one unless he is destined to be a wildcat QB, (Sparano is the new offensive coordinator there). But didn't they just give Sanchez a big extension on his contract?
As I said, I don't get it. On the plus side, we'll get to see the Patriots humiliate him twice a year.

Brees watched teams jump at a chance to sign a 36 year old QB that didn't even throw a pass last season to a $90 million contract and here he is one of the top 5 QBs in football and was offered less money than his receivers are making. He also watched Calvin Johnson get a $132 million contract, of which $60 million is guaranteed, and he gets an offer of $14.4 million? In my opinion he should say goodbye to the Saints and go play for some other team so we don't have to face him twice a year
