    ...where the prize is an unprecedented amount of self-satisfaction and smugness, and the chance to say "I told you so!" on the internet - what every person on the planet aspires to do.

    Where do you think the following 22 free agents will be playing football come Week 1? Get your votes in as early as possible, there are no (made up) prizes for those who wait for news to come out, only scorn and shunning.

    Im not willing to throw my name into this hat until I see where Peyton ends up...something tells me whereever he goes a lot of the FA stars will also end up!

    As per the OP, then you get nothing but scorn and shunning ;)

    Sure the rest of us are taking educated guesses

    Post up your predictions :cool:

    I dont think I could take a shunning and now seeing as Ive been called out:
    Peyton Manning - Miami Dolphins (Ive said it all along so not gonna change now!)
    Matt Flynn - Seattle Seahawks (Green Bay front office connections and have the cap room to give him a few weapons, Flynn can stay in West Coast offence)
    Michael Bush - New England Patriots (versatile back who can block well and receive from the backfield)
    Peyton Hillis - Washington Redskins (look to take pressure off RGIII with solid ground game. Should be able to get Hillis cheaper than his talents deserve after last year)
    Cedric Benson - Cincinnati Bengals (why lose a guaranteed 1000 yard rusher?)
    Brandon Jacobs - Jacobs is a spent force so really you might as well be throwing darts at a board...honestly dont see who would want a washed up power back but Ill say Cleveland they might look back to their Jamal Lewis experiment and hope for similar results
    Joseph Addai - Detroit Lions (Fuctional rusher but he will be brought in for his ability to catch out of the backfield and give Stafford a good third down threat)
    Vincent Jackson - Washington Redskins (I think Synder will open the cheque book to give RGIII a weapon)
    Brandon Lloyd - Carolina Panthers (Lloyd showed well last year and the Panthers need to give Newton another Wideout to keep him developing)
    Marques Colston - New Orleans Saints (Brees will make sure his favourite target doesnt leave, Saints give him a long term cap happy deal)
    Mario Manningham - someone will overpay for him based on Superbowl performance possibly the Baltimore Ravens
    Reggie Wayne - Miami Dolphins (where Manning goes....)
    Plaxico Burress - New York Jets
    Randy Moss - **Signed with 49ers**
    Carl Nicks - Chicago Bears (probably wont happen because of cap reasons but if they are serious about seeing what Cutler can do they need to protect him)
    Mario Williams - New England Patriots (best option for team and player)
    Andre Carter - Carolina Panthers (need to get more pressure on the QB and he comes cheaper than say John Abraham)
    John Abraham - Chicago Bears (Put him and Peppers outside and Lovie Smith builds a dominant front seven agan)
    Stephen Tulloch - Philedelphia Eagles (this is more hope than expectation, we need a middle linebacker)
    Cortland Finnegan - Detroit Lions (reunited with Jim Schwartz)
    Ladarius Webb - Denver Broncos (need to improve their secondary)
    Brandon Carr - Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Terrible secondary and need youth at CB, lots of cap space)
