Luck has "some" trade value and can be replaced by a QB that has been all the way to the Super Bowl... but I suggest we keep Fleener and this Luck kid...just a suggestion!
-
ESPN confirms this... it is posted under the Costa retirement post (same post as Gordy signing his tender offer)
-
Per ESPN; Colts will have to pay nothing, including the guaranteed money since he decided to retire. so at least that is positive news. Must have really been a significant issue for him personally to retire out of the blue like that.... wish him the best i whatever life has brought him.
INDIANAPOLIS -- Center Phil Costa wasn't even around long enough to be asked about dating Hulk Hogan's daughter let alone possibly hike the ball to quarterback Andrew Luck with the Indianapolis Colts.
Costa, in a surprising announcement, has decided to retire.
"Phil feels it's in his best interest to retire from the game," Colts general manager Ryan Grigson said in a statement released by the team. "We certainly understand and wish him nothing but the best."
The Colts signed Costa to a two-year, $2.7 million contract that included $450,000 guaranteed last month.
UPDATE: The Colts do not have to pay Costa any of the guaranteed money he was scheduled to make since he decided to retire.
The idea was for Costa to compete with Khaled Holmes for the starting center position, but I got the sense that the Colts were hoping Holmes would win the job. Costa, who started with the Dallas Cowboys in 2011, was beat out by rookie Travis Frederick last season.
Holmes only played 12 snaps and was a healthy inactive 11 times last season as a rookie.
Now the Colts are in serious of need of adding another center to the roster. This isn't a position they should be in with their franchise player Luck. The little bit of good news out of Costa telling the Colts he was retiring is that he did it now and not after training camp had already started. It gives Grigson some time to try to find another center to add to the roster.

Coleman signed with the Vikings today
GOOD!

So like at 1 am this morning I was at my girl friends after prom and they had a hypnotist. And the hypnotist said that he had worked with people such as our very own Andrew Luck
i thought that was a kinda cool thing to shareSure hope he had Mr. Luck's permission to say that.......
-
Let us not forget, Luck can run with the best of the QB's. His diffierence is he doesn't build his game around his running.....but when called on to run, he is as dangerous, elusive and quick as any in the league.

NO WAY!

Get well soon Mr. Irsay. You always had Indy's Back, we'll have your back as you work on your illness. God Bless!
-
They are saving money with this player but where are they going to go heavy with another signing..... All the good safeties are gone...... Nicks should be gotten for cheap.
Nicks won't be that cheap, has already turned down a 1 year deal for $4.5mm.
-
The fact that Smith hasn't even got a mention on this message board should be your answer, enough said! Besides we the Da'Rick.... we can cut TY and Wayne, and certainly no need for Smith.
-
Problem isn't getting Mack to come here, problem is getting Cleveland to let Mack come here
Exactly, and i think that is why they bring Costa in as a potential plan B... but Mack is there real target
-
This would be a horrible option and do nothing to address our o-line. As corgi said we'd be replacing, "cow crap, with goose crap." Going from one horrible center to another.
Big talk, but what credentials does he have over Grigson, over is it just talking "crap".
-
we certainly have less, i think sergio brown is not listed, and i believe he got a 1 year 4mil$ contract?
Vontae Davis missing too?
-
Great.... he is a beast on ST and a good depth at safety.
-
Heard it on 1070 just now too....
-
You didn't hear? Jeff Saturday is coming out of retirement as is Tarik Glenn......
Maybe Da'Rick can play center too!
-
Build The Monster......... OL STYLE....
-
you are looking at a list of total money over the life of a contract, not what they are payed last year. did you really think then top punters are payed $20+million dollars?
I heard him too, sure sounds like he plans on entering the marketplace. Also he said he was fined by the Colts 10,000 for his tweet that featured Luck in the background....said his paycheck was $235 for that week.....

If there was even a remote chance to get Harbaugh I'd definitely explore it....COACHING is the weak link...If we had Harbaugh and Roman it would be scary how good we could be...Unfortunately, it'll never happen, just got to hope Chudzinski helps make up for Paganos inferior coaching enough....
22-10.... DEFINITELY COACHES FAULT...
-
Four pages of posts on this thread, and I still haven't seen one piece of evidence to support the thread title.
Are you surprised? The only thing that surprises me is that the thread hasn't been taken over and become about Da'Rick being the second coming...... guess it is called the offseason!
-
Rogers will be a Colt next season. He moves right into DHB spot simple as that.
On the Bench?
-
. Good to know that Coach Pagano REALLY thinks his (and our) QB is worth the #1 pic. Who knows, maybe I'll even watch the game.
Pagano had nothing to do with draft in the Pro Bowl. He simply will coach the team Sanders and company drafted. That said I agree that Pagano would have taken Luck #1 if he had a chance.
-
I think he'll be the #2. Rogers showed some really nice flashes last year. If he can keep developing and stay out of trouble, he has #1 potential.
Potentail is all it is for Da'Rick right now. for every "great" catch he has 2 drops. he doesn't get seperation and his route running is average at best. Hopefully he will significantly improve and reach that potential he is holding onto right now. TY on the other hand has proven he is a solid reciever, a game changer that other teams have to game plan for.... His size will not stop him from being a #1 reciever.

Keenan Allen doesn't need to get stronger. Neither do a few other players Grigs passed on
??? Allen plays a different position, different strength needed. Plus Allen does need to get stronger and recoup from injury so it hopefully doesn't happen again. Again, maybe you should call Irsay and offer your vast expertise..... Another January, hindsight GM.

They are key departures, in this case the key is additon by subtraction. The fact they are gone is a plus, but they forgot to include Satale in that catagory.
