  1. One of the great things the NFL does is getting people to believe they aren’t rich. The league made 17 billion dollars in 2021 in revenue. These guys aren’t broke or strapped for cash. They can afford these things. For what it’s worth Holder is reporting that the Colts made the decision not to go after Sneed and then gave that money to all the guys they re-signed last week and had they gone after Sneed it would have been as the expense of some of those guys. Physical money wasn’t the issue. The Colts simply made a choice.
  2. Frankly the whole Grigson era turned me off of making all the bold moves people want. He would and they almost always blew up in the Colts faces. He was saved by the fact he had Andrew Luck and he was just too good to be bad. Ironically I think if Ballard had had Andrew Luck for his whole time as GM we would be looking at another golden era of Colts football and it would be have been interesting to note both came with the philosophy of build through the draft and reward your own. Oh well if ifs and buts were candy and nuts we’d all have a Merry Christmas.
  3. Yep that’s been reported in a few places.
  4. And cut all 53 and rebuild a new Super Bowl team in one off-season.
  5. I’d say it’s probably closer to four years (length of Richardson’s rookie deal minus the fifth year option) especially since last year was pretty much a wash.
  6. First of all I don’t disagree with you. However, that’s the philosophy he was taught about team building so it’s what he believes in. Again, not saying it’s right or wrong it’s just who he is. I know it’s frustrating seeing other teams make big splashes in free agency but I’ll also say normally the team that wins free agency in March doesn’t win come September. As for if Richardson gets hurt just about any team in the league is going to be in trouble if they lose their starting QB for any length of time.
  7. Holder’s side if anyone is interested Even if you don’t like Holder this is worth listening too. Basically the Colts were really in on Hunter and got beat and decided not to go after Sneed so they handed out all those contracts to keep their own. Holder said they are pinning their hopes on Richardson and him making them better than they were with Minshew. He also makes it pretty clear he thinks they are going corner at 15. He also said he thinks the Colts like their young secondary a lot more than most of us do and they are banking on their young guys getting better. He did say he does expect some moves in the secondary but it’s probably not going to be a Sneed level guy. He also brought up Franklin saying we need to go get some banners now and Holder told some in the Colts organization that and they loved that because that’s how they feel. They have invested in their core and now expect them to deliver and will hold them accountable to do so.
  8. It’s week two of free agency. Plenty of time still to make moves. Plus there is the whole draft to go.
  9. I think I’d rather sit at 15 and get another young WR if the Colts want to go in that direction and let that kid develop with Richardson and not have two really big contracts back-to-back (Aiyuk’s is coming up) at WR. Richardson is only in his second year the Colts can afford to acquire weapons who are around Richardson’s age to grow with him. IMO they already have enough older than him.
  10. People didn’t get upset at her for posting information. People got frustrated because when it became clear that the information was incorrect (which isn’t her fault that I agree on) she double downed and attacked anyone who dared to say hey this wasn’t correct. That’s fine she has people she trusts but that doesn’t mean we have too. We also aren’t wrong for going hey I don’t trust this I trust this person instead without being attacked and told things like that person got used by the Colts when there is no evidence to suggest that’s the case or that those that say something on twitter that disagrees with what she feels is true may have to delete their twitter. I also agree and have said we don’t know everything that’s going but that was part of the problem Chloe was insisting Destin was correct and couldn’t be wrong even when it became clear he wasn’t. As for people relaxing I don’t know how many times I’ve said people needed to just let this play out. That would include her not insisting something is true when she doesn’t know if it is or not no matter how much she trusts Destin. He isn’t infallible. Had she just posted what Destin said and not felt the need to defend him anytime someone questioned it things wouldn’t have blown up. I think Superman said it best when he said she seems really invested in Destin. I know I trust Mike Chappell more than anyone but if someone else doesn’t all I can do is say hey here is why I trust him. At that point if they still don’t trust him well that’s up to them. If that had happened here I think things would have been more calm. I want to be clear anyone is free to post anything they want. Others are also free to say hey I don’t trust that and here’s why. That shouldn’t turn into a fight on either end. Two smart people can disagree. We should be able to respect that on both sides. What happened here was that wasn’t being respected and people felt attacked, and that includes Chloe, and people came out swinging as they often do when they feel attacked. There is a lot of fault to go around here including myself, Chloe, and others. All we can do now is try to learn from it and move on.
  11. Not disappointed with this to be honest. He’s been a shell of his former self since his rookie year.
  12. If Richardson doesn’t work out Ballard will be fired.
  13. Well that didn’t last long… https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/39760392/bills-give-cb-taron-johnson-3-year-31m-contract-extension
  14. It’s earlier in the thread. Way too much Sneed stuff has happened since for me to remember. Also, I’ve never been high on re-signing Blackmon. I’ve said always be ware of players who have a major career year way outside their norm in a contract year and the injuries really concern me. Not sure who I want there and I wouldn’t be mad if they ultimately brought Blackmon back but I am fine with moving on from him too.
