I'm no cap wizard & I won't pretend to be one either, but I like this LB addition because I watched all of Denver's games last season & I like this kid. Solid player with good hustle & a competitive motor. 

 

And my favorite: He's under 30. Just what we needed speed on defense. Nice.

It looks like it reflects spotty or uncertain contribution for next season due to him coming off of a knee injury, then the contract picks up at over $2 million per year when DQ's contract ends.

DQ is under contract til 2017. Freeman is the guy who has no contract after this season.

But DQ's contract was pretty much a 2 year deal. He'll be on the wrong side of his rime in 2016 and only will have a tad of guaranteed money eft on his deal. I think Irving is his replacement if he plays well and if he doesn't he also will be a "painless" cut.

OK, could be.

Hmmm. I thought DQ signed a 2 year contract last year. Maybe I'm thinking that it was structured like a 2 year deal that could be terminated easily after this year...front loaded.

nevermind...I see dw49 explained my thinking.

I think the days of bad contract signings are a thing of the past with the Colts as long as Grigson is the GM. One of the statements he made his first season was he would never put the team in the shape it was when he took over as far as the cap was concerned. Sometimes a few overlook the money aspect and just concentrate on the players.

      2024 NFL Draft Thread (Final Discussions, Predictions, Rumors, etc…)

      By John Hammonds · Posted

      Overhyped Cooper DeJean may be getting too much hype.  He's a multi-position player, which means he may not be "great" at any single position.  And he's coming off of a pretty bad injury, and we don't truly know if his post-injury performance is going to equal what it was before. Xavier Worthy made a splash by setting a record 40-time at the combine.  He's still extremely light.  He has a high drop rate.  His pro comp is Darnell Mooney, who the Bears took in the 5th round, had one 1,000 yard season, and was eventually signed by the Falcons. Sleepers Julian Pearl is an OT from Illinois.  Former defensive end who has athleticism and length, with a huge wingspan.  2-time all Big Ten honorable mention. JD Bertrand, LB, Notre Dame.  One of my favorite players in the draft.  A little undersized, with a small catch radius, but makes splash plays.  3-year starter, 2-year team captain, 2-year team leader in tackles.

      Man I feel real strong about Brian Thomas jr. I think it's on and cracking if we get him. His game is just consistent and he is such a hard cover. I like him being paired with Pittman. I really do!

      This is probably the most exciting nonplaying event of the year and it’s tomorrow. I just hope that Balllard  and the scouting department I’ve done their job thoroughly

      @2006Coltsbestever @NFLfan   Kirk has been treated much better and with much more respect than Wentz was treated in Indy. And was showed with Love and truckloads of money in Minnesota, and was defended constantly with much more ferocity by Vikings fans than people defending Ballard in Grievances thread.    it'd be crazy to think of injustice against Kirk for a few minority who criticize his play.    We're Going back and forth on Kirk debate which will go on for eternity, but I struck Gold when I saw recently @Superman explaining how he felt watching Wentz playing with other teams before he got to Indy and how it felt watching him play for Colts when you're emotionally invested with the franchise.    There's no other way to perfectly describe Kirk Cousins' career and his QB play.   For every fan around the NFL, especially for fantasy football fans, Kirk will be a hero and am above average QB. But, when you're emotionally invested in your favourite franchise and Kirk plays QB for your team, you would come close to understanding how excruciatingly frustrating his play and smartness and game awareness are (or shortage of them are), that all contributes to team missing playoffs many years and even when they qualify, no one sees Kirk as a threat in playoffs. Ever. Your team would be paying Elite QB Money for that, and you'd be constantly in debate with criticizers Vs defenders. Until he plays for your team, you won't realize that, and I totally understand.    Anyway, happy to pass on that frustration over to Falcons fans, they'd know soon. First of all, Kirk takes at least a season or two to trust his OL, even if you put an elite line and weapons around him, and it's all in his head. I'm going to sit back and read Falcons forums for Fun in 2024 Season! Good Times!
