Any thoughts on the upcoming free agency deals/changes? [View all]

Lots of movement at the QB position across the league, it looks like, with Peyton Manning visiting potential teams, and reportedly wanting to sign before Tuesday...

The Redskins and Jets out of the Manning hunt, having elected to go with Robert Griffin III (I expect that Andrew Luck will go to the Colts and this is assuming the reported deal with the Rams goes through) and Mark Sanchez, respectively.

After Manning, Matt Flynn will be the next highly sought QB free agent, it seems...several teams will be looking at him once Manning is gone...

And a number of QBs who are former starters who will either be looking for a spot with one of the teams that misses out on both Manning and Flynn, or will have to settle for a backup role somewhere (like Chicago, who desperately needs a solid backup).

And lots of non-QB free agents out there, too, Mario Williams, Vincent Jackson, Marques Colston, etc.
