  1. Honestly any first round draft pick not named Andrew Luck or Ryan Kelly that Grigson made was enough to be mad but for some reason Dorsett just took the cake with me even if I miss remembered the draft with him and the draft with Rhodes. I do remember wanting Rhodes when he came out though and being disappointed that the Colts didn’t get him,
  2. I got mad the night they took Dorsett and I still get mad when I think about it. Look at all the good players he passed on for him. I wanted Xavier Rhodes in that draft and they could have had him. No single first round draft pick upsets me as much as Phillip freaking Dorsett.
  3. Grigson didn’t hit on another high draft pick until Ryan Kelly after Hilton. Just goes to speak about how good Andrew Luck was that those teams were as good as they were until Luck literally feel apart from carrying the team on his shoulders.
  4. Irsay or no other pro-sports owner is strapped for cash. Look at the lifestyles they live. These guys are swimming in money Scrooge McDuck style. They like to get you to think that they are so that they have to pay for less things like the a new stadium and give them friendly tax breaks but they aren’t. These guys are super rich even the small market teams like the Colts. If you want to think they are strapped for cash go a head but we are going to agree to disagree.
  5. Actually they can’t without some restructuring which as has been pointed out the Colts could do but don’t seem interested in it. When you account for rookies and Flacco they have something like $13 or $14 left and Sneed wants $22 million a year. That’s also just this year. The Colts will have more free agents they will want to sign next year like Buckner perhaps that may want a raise and you can’t count on another $30 million cap increase like this year.
  6. Yes but if the average team is worth 5.1 billion dollars and the league makes almost 20 billion a year in revenue and they have revenue sharing like the NFL does even the smallest team in the NFL isn’t hard up for cash.
  7. Oh he didn’t the other era I was referring to with the draft well and keep your we approach was Polian not Grigson. I should have been more clear.
  8. My issue all along hasn’t been with Destin. It’s been with the random people on twitter who report something and claim they are an insider like pretty Rickey. Like I said I think Destin is a young kid trying to make it in reporting and has to start somewhere. With that said, something Holder said at the end of his interview this is his living so if he reports something he knows it knows it and can’t afford to be wrong. Destin admitted when he reported this he didn’t have the contract part of it confirmed and he broke a cardinal rule in reporting, you don’t report something unless you know all of it for sure. I hope he learns from this. Its pretty easy to tell from the Holder interview he was hearing about Sneed all the way back to the combine and that the Colts were disappointed when he was franchised tag and he wasn’t just a free agent. So he’s been hearing about this probably as long if not longer than Destin has. He didn’t report it though because he didn’t have things nailed down. worth noting Holder did not and has not taken a shot at Destin. Destin said he respected Holder and knows how hard he works. Maybe we can all learn a little something from how they treated each other in this and didn’t attack each other.
  9. One last thing, he notes at the end this is Ballard’s MO but he understands why people are frustrated with it because it needs to start producing results.
  10. 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. The average NFL team is worth 5.1 billion dollars. 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, specifically Kenny Moore and perhaps Grover Stewartt which tracks with Kenny at least being the last of the group to re-sign. Physical money wasn’t the issue. The Colts simply made a choice.
  11. 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.
  12. Yep that’s been reported in a few places.
  13. And cut all 53 and rebuild a new Super Bowl team in one off-season.
  14. 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.
