Dude is like 6'3 and 217! With the skills to match! Would love him. From what I was reading it looks like Miami will be trying to keep him. Hopefully they go all vontae on him ;)
In the past few weeks Miami was quoted as saying they are letting him, Jake Long, and Reggie Bush go to FA. He doesn't really fit their 4-3 zone scheme like Vontae didn't. Sean is a pure man-cover guy and would be great to have here.

Your last sentence answers the issue. We might want to structure the deal that way, that doesn't mean the players is going to accept that. It's not very beneficial to the player. Why should he do that?
One last thought.... The Peytonator's deal was for 7-years, $40 Mill. The problem with that is that Kruger also wants his 40 Mill within a 5-year structure. He wants $8 Mill a year. $40 for 7, is less than $6 Mill per year.... I think that's a deal breaker.
Just my opinion....
He gets all of his guaranteed money up front for the most part. MANY players take their deals like that. I do agree 7 years is a little long but if structured right, its really no different than a 4 or 5 year contract. It doesn't strap the team any differently. Its all dependent on how you structure the deal. Sure, it can be back-loaded, but why do it when you have the money now? I'd much rather front-load it that way in 3 years if production slips or a serious injury occurs he walks with his guaranteed money and I end up saving on the back end because he didn't make it through the life of his contract. Now, again, there are those cases like Mathis in which a player ends up playing out the full contract, but Mathis' production stayed consistent and the Colts ended up getting a cheap 2 years out of him, because like I stated above he got a large portion of his money up front. Reggie's deal was also similar to Mathis' (I'm referring to their 2nd contracts not the ones they just did) and I commend both of them for not holding out because they knew their last couple of years they wouldn't be making much more than just their base salaries. Just 2.5mil for Mathis in his final 2 years which is CHEAP for 20.5 sacks and 4 FF.

Dashon Goldson would be a much better option than Byrd or Reed. The Colts need a true SS and Goldson is the thumper the Colts need in the secondary.

It's too long because it has the potential to trap you in Salary Cap Heck. The same place we've been trapped in this year. I don't want to revisit it. Rarely do you see a player get longer than a 5-year deal. And I don't think Kruger is worth the risk/reward involved.
Also, it starts a dangerous precedent. Once you give Paul Kruger 7 years, then other possible FA's will who are as good or better (in their view) will want that length of time if not longer. Starts the franchise down a dangerous road that I don't think we want to travel.
Just my opinion.....
Not sure how you see a contract that long straps a team. More than likely a contract like that will be front loaded leaving the remaining years (last 3 lets say) at basically just base salaries which would be cheap. They did that with Mathis' second contract. He got something like 24-26mil up front and then his last two years were just 3mil. Polian structured that well just in case Mathis happened to fall off production wise he costs you virtually nothing to release him. Front load that deal that way in the back half of his contract he may not even see the last 8-10mil if his production declines and he ends up released.

No thank you on Williams. I'd much rather have Sean Smith. Younger, bigger, and will come at roughly the same price.
-
As much as I would be for getting Revis I would spend just a tad more and get Sean Smith/Dashon Goldson. That would keep the secondary young and also put some more physicality in the secondary. I know Smith had a down year but much like Vontae before he was traded Sean had to adjust to a different defense. Yes, he had a down year but I would love to get him here with Pagano and back in press coverage with Vontae.
I would be happy with a pass on Reed/Revis for Smith/Goldson.
-
Impossible to know that
He was released because HE didn't want to restructure his contract, so its not impossible to say he wouldn't have done what Reggie did.

Colts Insiders @ColtsInsiders
Picking up some chatter that the #Colts have indeed contacted the #Jets to explore the option of aquiring Darrelle Revis.
Interesting...
-
This exactly. Roy hall didn't put the work in. Physical talent off the charts. We did have some pretty good receivers at the time also. But still...
It didn't have anything to do with not putting the work in, but moreso the guy couldn't stay healthy. The guy, physically, was a freak but obviously fragile at the same time. Much like Gonzo, if he wasn't injured all the time and we seen it out of Gonzo, had he been healthy he would have produced.

So you're saying that you wouldn't want arguably the best defensive player in the NFL on this team? You have to pay to play regardless of the route you choose whether its OT/G or Revis and you can't say that DB isn't a position of need with what we seen out of the players not named Davis.WOW... I am shocked to see that the majority of folk on this site would trade for Revis?? So many on this site don't want to pay to get a OT on board but will gladly shell out picks AND $$ to get a diva CB?I am not paying ANY DB 16+ million a year, let alone one that is coming off of MAJOR knee surgery and who wants to talk turkey every year. Dude is never happy.
This dude would cost a King's ransom AND demand a salary that would eat roughly 40% of Indy's available free cap space.
Dang Indy could get a top flight OT AND OG for 16m per......
NO THANKS...
Absolutely, the O-line needs help but with what Revis is asking it isn't going to be that much different than what a premier tackle is going to ask for with the exception of having to give up a draft pick or two.
I personally don't think you could go wrong either way... All-pro defensive player or elite tackle/guard, both are smart decisions which ever is chosen.
-
Bleacher Report ~9million...?
First mistake... NEVER quote Bleacher Report as a credible source...
And PLEASE tell me you didn't put Z. Motta from Notre Dame as choice for safety here in Indy... A big NO THANK YOU to Zibi 2.0

Yes many players come back from the injury. Adrian Peterson is a freak of nature, not many people suffer that kind of injury and come back as quickly as he did, some wouldn't make it back at all. The point is every player is different with a different anatomy, different ability to recover. Here's an article that sheds some light on ACL surgery's for NFL players that explains why most NFL players are never quite the same after ACL surgery.

I remember when Edgerrin tore his and it took him 2 years before he looked and played "normal".
-
why don't we trade freeney for him? I bet they would take it
Freeney is a UFA.
-
Must not have been around during the Pollard/Dilger days... The Colts did the 2 TE thing a while ago.
-
I would take Mike Glennon over either of those guys. Glennon has better size and a better arm than Barkley and Geno is just going to be another read option QB. Read option QB's are not Arians style. Really, Geno shouldn't be drafted before the 2nd rd. but some QB desperate team will take him way too early.
Geno is NOT a read option QB nor is WVU's offense. The guy is as slow as paint drying. I wouldn't be shocked if Manning could beat him in a foot race. The guy is about as pure of a passer as they come. He has an NFL arm but his mobility leaves a lot to be desired, so unless Arizona fixes that line Geno won't be a very good pick for them.
I mentioned in another post that I think Ryan Nassib would be a good pick for them. Very mobile QB with a big arm that could probably be had in the 3rd.

Wanted???? More like had to. How many Colts games did you watch entirely this season? How poor of an O-line did you see? An O-line that had trouble opening up holes for the run game and couldn't keep Luck off of his back. Also how many games did we have to come from behind to win? Do you know what happens when you fall behind in a game? You more often than not have to throw to try and catch back up. I'm not going to pretend to tell you exactly what your team "wanted" to do this year, don't come to this forum and try to tell us what our team "wanted" to do this year.
Eh not that I disagree with you, but I can name quite a few games where the running game was moving yet they(Arians) completely abandoned it and dug themselves in a hole thus having to throw the ball even more. The New England game is the perfect example. The first two drives were as balanced as they had been as an offense all year, but after that second TD they passed 3 straight times, after tallying 51 yards rushing in the first two drives alone, and it all went down hill from there. Punt return TD, pick 6, fumble (Luck), INT.
Yes, the O-line play was sub-par, but that offense shot themselves in the foot more than the other team just outright beating them especially knowing they were going to be playing a VERTICAL offense with a POOR O-line. More often than not they played right into the other teams gameplan.

Does anyone else think Russell Wilson throws the best spiral on the planet? Even in slo mo his passes aboslutely perfect. Crazy
The darts that Kap was throwing yesterday were beautiful as well.
-
I still say Satele was used more than AQ to keep his value up so they could move him this off-season. I'm sure they seen how much of a difference AQ was when he was in the game. I look for them to move Satele and keep McGlynn as a cheap back-up at G/C.
-
I still believe Brazill is going to be the dark horse of the group. Him and Ty are going to compliment each other very well, much like Marvin and Reggie used to. Once he gets a solid chance he's going to be a very good target for Luck.
-
Mike Tice? Please tell me that was a joke
Had to be.. I haven't stopped laughing about it.
-
Exactly. If all we intended for Fleener and Allen to do is stay in and help block, we should've just used those 2nd and 3rd picks on linemen.
Agreed. I still want to see Fleener getting a good amount of snaps playing in the slot. To much of a mismatch to not have him there like Dallas was. Allen is so versatile on the line in being an excellent blocker/catcher I'd continue let him being the sleeper off the line.

Well lets stick with what worked, lets steal another Pittsburgh OC, someone call Todd Haley!!!!
On a more random tangent, what do you guys think of Marty Schottenheimer? I know he is a little old school but he knows his stuff.
I'm all for toning the vertical routes down, but to go to the opposite side of the spectrum and go with a VERY conservative appproach is not something this team needs either. I'd like to see something thats centered between Kubiak's offense and Arians offense. Not heavy one way or the other but right in the middle.
-
Ya...... I read your post...
Pimping Nassib? Ok...
Bruce will be back in 2 years... ;)
Don't be surprised if he's not.
-
The QB is the big part of that equation though, as many teams have found out finding a good one is not always easy ... and as another poster pointed out BAs last 3 QBs have been elite.
I find it very difficult to call Ben elite. Good? Absolutely. Elite? I don't think so.

If they are looking at Williams, whose looking for 8-9mil/yr, I'd much rather push harder for Smith. Younger, bigger, and has better skills in my opinion.
I'm just not that impressed with Williams.
