They why is owner running around saying we are over the cap? This isn't the first time he's said this either, he said earlier this year on twitter to explain why we didn't go after Gurrard. BAV I know you probably understand the cap better than any of us here but is it possiable something changed with the new CBA? Like I said earlier though I always thought he point of a hard cap is that you couldn't go over it. Which is why I think most of us are trying to figure exactly how the Colts can be the 8 mil over the cap Irsay says we are.

As for Manning the bonus is prorated some how becuase the 28 mil number that is being thrown out there is what it would cost us to cut him. I've read several places this year his cap number next year we keep him is closer to 17 million I think. I could very well be wrong about the 17 million number but i now it was less than the 28 mil.

You can be over the cap for future years, you just can't be over the cap for the current year.

We can (probably) save $21M against the cap next year easily.

Irsay said the 8 million is THIS year, CS also said that under the new CBA you can do that now. I don't know but it sounds like something changed under the new CBA. Maybe it's a one year thing because of the new CBA with the shortened off-season I don't know and can't really explain it. Like you I always assumed a hard cap ment just that, hard as in you can't go over it. Irsay keeps saying we re over the cap this year though so either Irsay is wrong or something has changed.

Also Mannng would cost $17 mil next year if we keep him I found this

Forget that, the first person to talk after they replayed the intervew was Sanders and the first words out of his mouth were the Colts can't pay Peyton Manning 28 million next season and they had to cut him and draft Luck and start over. Everyone else on the panel clearly watched the interview and said they would keep Peyton (if healthy) and regardless of Peyton still draft Luck.

I wouldnt listen a word from Deion. He is a big time Manning hater.

He always finds an opportunity to bash Manning.

Another jealous dude with a big mouth.

Like was said earlier, you know your cap stuff. I'm more than happy to defer to you. But I could have sworn that there are cap exceptions for teams with players on IR. I might be confusing the NFL with the NBA, like others obviously are.

There you go! Can you imagine how dominating the left side of the line would be with Castanzo at guard and Kalil at tackle?

If we did draft Kalil which I wouldn't be opposed to IF PEYTON IS HEALTHY, Castanzo would move to RT not guard. He is not a guard & is way too tall to be a guard at 6'7. Also is not the greatest run blocker for guard.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By Superman · Posted

      I don't think players like Davis (and especially Bryan, who I don't think will make the final 53) should impact our draft strategy at all. Not even a little bit. If we like Byron Murphy, figure out what to do with those other guys later. The other versatile guys you mention don't scratch the itch the way Murphy would be expected to -- he should be looked at as a disruptive 3T who plays there every down, not a matchup guy or passing downs guy.    If anything, maybe it's the other way around. The Colts already had a feel for the DTs in draft class and knew they wouldn't get what they want in the draft, so they addressed the position in free agency. And after this weekend, that might help people better understand the strategy at DB and WR...    The bolded really gets at the heart of it. I like Murphy, but I'm not offering him as a great player that you just have to take a chance on. But when it comes to draft strategy, I think taking the best players is the way to go. I'm directly opposed to needs-based drafting, and to passing on a really good prospect because you have backup level veterans already on the roster.

      I suppose Murphy being the next Donald is possible, but I wouldn’t think it’s likely.     As for Smith playing right tackle, I believe I was simply echoing Ballard’s initial viewpoint.  That Smith’s short arms made him an unlikely RT.  And that he had to be talked into it by Morocco Brown and Ed Dodds.   I don’t think I was stating MY personal view.    As for skillset vs measurements.  I think it’s been an issue for all of us because Ballard has such specific requirements for each position.  So we factor that into our judgements.

      Bold predictions for the draft

      Bold prediction?    I will predict either Kwity or Pierce will be traded sometime during the draft.

      Much better bounce back Tuesday. They seemed to find a certain confidence they lacked Sunday. The defense was really good. They weathered the Lillard storm and seemed to bother him more as the game went on.
