And Duke's a better RB than both White and Hines.
I think we need to wait to make that judgment. Hines did quite well for his rookie year. If you look at his stats compared to Duke's rookie year they are very similar.

Interesting..........considering he decided not to be a part of his "locker room".
He chose not to accept an unfair one year deal. It was his right do do so acording to the CBA,

I think Ballard will look for a pass rusher in the first round.
I agree. Pass rich and defence heavy draft I assume.

You don't have to be an NFL player to determine that this guy isn't too popular in the locker room.

That says more about the offensive linemen then it does about Bell. If I messed with people's personal belongings at work I would be subject to discipline.
But your poi t is valid even if I don't agree. There were problems in that pit locked room so staying clear might be smart.

Hopefully we go after some second tier players that I have been looking at like jason verrett. I wonder what the market is for Darby since he hasn't announced anything. I'd love to have him but I still feel hes getting a huge contract that I dont want us to pay lol
This wasn't really my stance going in to free agency. But I think looking at earl Thomas would be huge to mentor the young players. Not to mention he's a stud.
He's gonna have a chip on his shoulder to from last year.
A lot of Seahawks fans where I live would love brag about earl kicking butt wearing the shoe.

Sure, but that's ignoring a very specific thing. The Colts have limited resources in terms of draft picks and cap space.
So as a fan I'm also looking at those resources as something that could be spent someplace else.
Saying "Wouldn't you just love to see this star player on your team" just leads to fans who are angry because their team didn't sign every star free agent.
Fact is I simply don't want Bell for the resources (cap space) he is going to take up and the amount of risk (also cap space in the form of dead money) he would entail.
But sure, ignore the resources, ignore the locker room issues, ignore everything but on the field play. Yeah I'd like to see Bell on this team.
But shoot ignore all those things and I think our starting lineup should be the 2018 All Pro Team.
All of that is fair and I agree 100%. I just disagree all of the Bell slaming that keeps going on and the speculation how he's such locker room poison.
13 minutes ago, Valpo2004 said:That's not what he asked. He wants you to just play Madden except less complex, forget about locker room dynamics, forget about cap space, forget about draft picks.
Not what I'm was saying at a but thanks. I wouldn't know the first thing about NFL locker room. Nor does anyone else on here including yourself.

Marlon Mack last year - 4.7 yards per carry on 195 attempts. Expand that out to the 261 attempts Bell had in his BEST YEAR EVER 3 YEARS AGO.
That comes out to 1227 yards for Mack at 4.7 YPC vs Bell's 1268.
Bell's salary for this year - 13 Million
Mack's salary for this year - .75 Million
Congrats you just paid 12.25 Million or 6.5% of the Cap for an extra 41 rushing yards at a cost of about $300,000 per extra rushing yard.
And that's assuming that Bell can match his best season ever from 3 years ago vs. Mack's season being just last year.
He didn't tho.. You can pro rate it all you want. Maybe Mack doesn't get the touches cause he can't handle that workload. We can go back and forth with all kinds of ifs and buts. But like I said its really a non issue.
I like Mack he's a solid back and does a great job behind a stellar line. It's Ki da sad how everyone will turn on him when he's due to get paid.
What got lost in my original post was that we didn't Adress any need. celabrating we didn't "waste $" on Bell is fine if it's your $ and we are in done kind of $trouble but we're not.
Forget the $ you gonna tell me as a colts fan you wouldn't of loved a Bell/Mack tsndum?

he hit 908 in only 12 games... he was 3rd behind Gurley and Elliot for in total yards and YPC those 12 games.
In 2016 bell ran for over 1200 yards and over 600 yards... In 12 games.
It's really a moot point now obviously. But let's slow down with the idea we dodged a huge financial bullet.

Mack - on a rookie contract and hasn't hit 1000 yards.
Bell - 5 years of proving to be the best RB in the league and can Get 2000 scrimmage yards.
Get outta here with that.
I do agree it's not nessesarily smart to spend out money on RB. Good thing we decided to spend it on pass rush and secondary...

I wonder if people realize that yes we have contracts that will be big in the future and that we can still sign them even if we sign other big free agents. We can always cut them or trade them when we need to. Its not like we would be doomed if we barely had money left. We can cut the players. Just like jags are doing now. Its not hard. Sign free agents. Keep our own drafted players let. Go of the free agents later on in the contracted years when those newly drafted players need to be resigned.
Are you telling me nfl teams don't have to Honor contracts???? Lol
We can save 8mill by cutting sheard. ASE and point.

Wish people would stop bringing them up. NE has the greatest QB of this generation, who stopped taking huge contracts long ago and the Greatest HC of any generation. They don’t need all that other stuff
Exactly. Belichick is the greatest for a reason. If NE was easy to recreate everyone would do it.

I agree we need a couple more play makers. But so you have a crystal ball. When we have a lot of huge contracts to give our the next few years we were not paying those prices. Those teams never win. Nelson and Leonard May very well be the highest paid tackle and line backer in the league when we have to pay them.
Ballard probably had no problem with the 14m Collins got. It’s the six years and all the guaranteed money is where it became stupid.
Dang.
And with proper contract/cap management I'm sure we will be easily able to sign them. Those two cobracts in particular are still 3 and 4 years away.
Nelson is a guard btw.

Mike Mitchell being out was a big deal? This team should not be depending on him and should have more than one go to WR
Exactly. That's our problem. No weapons behind TY and lack of playmakers on D. Would of been nice to grab a couple in FA.

Well technically Funches hasn't signed right?
Very true.
To be honest I wouldn't mind both. I know everyone here seems to want to draft a wr. But it would be nice to go into the draft with minimsl need do we can draft best pick available.

He has been overhyped a bit on this forum.
That may be true. But is the upside not there? If Funchess gets 10m+ wouldn't a more athletic version be worth it?
I could be wrong I don't watch a ton of chargers.

It's been pretty quiet on the tyrell Williams front. Has anybody heard anything.
I doubt we're in the mix with the Funchess signing but it's not out of the realm of possibility. Especially if the price is reasonable.

Just now, csmopar said:
Hmmm the question I think teams are asking, where is he at physically, rumor was a few weeks back that he’d put on a lot of weight this fall. So which version of bell are you gonna get
I'm sure teams would all have their sources to know if that is true or not. My guess is it's not with the amouny of Bell hate there has been all year.
A bit of rust could be a concern. But with a whole training camp I'm sure he'll hit the ground running in week one.

He wants to be a Colt. That price is not overpaying for Bell. Hope Ballard goes and get's him.
If Bell could he had for that price then it would be a disaster if we don't sign him.

He can get paid all he wants... Away from the state of Indiana. I won't knock a guy trying to get his.
Gurley got paid and the Rams will see how that works out. They better pray that knee stops acting up. Lots of cash to still be paid.
But you did knock him for it
"This dude flat out left his team and is saying SHOW ME THE MONEY.
Not a guy I'd want around right now with the type of team we have. "
I get not wanting to spend $ on a RB, but let's not add to the pro owner media that he is such a bad guy for wanting to be treated fairly. I don't Think people are quite understanding how much the steelers screwed him.

He did not leave his team. What he did was not accept an unfair offer a one year franchise tag. It was his right to do so.
Tod Gurley got paid when he was supposed to get his payday. Is he just supposed to sit around and think that's ok?
I hope bell gets payed. Big time.
