Levitre gone/titans got levitre (merge)

[Phil J]

Bud Adams got him

[Sacmo]

yeah seen it on roto, no details on his price yet

[Balzer40]

No surprise.

[pacolts56]

That will break the hearts of many.

[MTC]

That's fine. As long as we can get Vasquez, I'll be happy.

[Indyfan4life]

Still kind of sucks. Why would anyone go to Tennessee on purpose?

They play a zone scheme which is Levitre's bread and butter. IMO, he was never an option here.

[B-B]

Apparently it's for "Huge money" so I'm probably not upset we missed out on him

 

 

Joe Buscaglia‏@JoeBuscaglia

According to @ProFootballTalk, Andy Levitre is expected to sign a "huge-money deal" with the Titans shortly after free agency opens.

[deedub75]

Money talks, especially when players see how many really good players are being cut to save cap space. 

[IndyD4U]

Maybe we can get Vollmer along with Vasquez?

[Esquire59]

Heart broken. Elite, annual pro bowler from here on out. Big loss for us.

[mjsimans]

lame....

[Warhorse]

Not disappointed in the least, never thought it was happening.

[Andy]

That's too bad.

 

He would have looked good in blue. At least, our darker blue, not some baby blue. 

 

Hope he does well, they needed a lot of help at guard and center. 

[Balzer40]

Me either Warhorse. I tried and tried to tell people he wouldn't be a Colt, but I just got accused of being a know it all , apparently I am because I was right.

its green and you can buy nice things with it

[Indyfan4life]

Super Bowl win and ring > Money.

[CR91]

Super Bowl win and ring > Money.

 

some players dont care

[TKnight24]

That's fine. Let's dominate him when the season starts make him look bad . And plus, he didn't fit our blocking scheme

[Jason_]

Super Bowl win and ring > Money.

 

Super Bowl win and ring won't buy you a house/car/boat or anything else like that....unless you sell the ring.....for...wait for it....money!  ;)

[dcoltdaddy13]

Great, I have been waiting for today, getting all pumped up then they write an article 5 hours ago about Grigson being Dollar wise. I hope thats not code for dont expect much.

If I'm one of the better players in the league and a FA, I'd be more concerned with going to a contender, winning and then getting paid more.

Maybe I view things different, but no amount of money to me is worth being a Super Bowl Champion and having my own ring.

Or taking a trip to the white house to meet the president. Or having "super bowl champ" next to your name when they talk about you. I'd take that over money anyday

No don't get me wrong, I'd be the same way.  I'd gladly take 7 mil per year instead of 12 mil per year to go to a better team.  When you're talking about that kind of money, you're going to be set no matter what.  You may have to settle for a Mercedes instead of a Bentley, or a Porshe instead of a Ferrari....life can be tough that way. lol

 

But practically speaking in real life, having money will get you a lot further than being able to call yourself a former superbowl champion.  So I agree with your line of thinking but I disagree with the flat statement that SB win + Ring > Money.

 

[HarassedOffTheSite]

Thank God

[IndyD4U]

5 year 39 mil.

 

not bad for a future pro-bowler

[AntonMcG]

A lot of people act like they would take a Super Bowl ring over money as if it's the simplest decision in the world, yet time and time again people who are actually in the situation, choose the money. What makes any of you think you wouldn't do the same considering you have never been (nor never will be) faced with the choice?

By the way, I was not aware the Colts had a divine right to a Super Bowl in the next 5 years.

[Andy]

He got a 5 year, 39 million dollar deal. An average of just less than 8 million a year making him one of the highest paid guards in the leauge. 

[Coltswarriors]

GET VASQUEZ!

[The Fish]

At the price? ha, no thanks.

 

These are the kind of players that the team needs to be finding in the draft. 

 

Polian had the right attitude about free agency in the broad sense. We'll make some moves, but don't expect anything to big.

Who died and made you decider of all things money and Super Bowl potential? Money has it's end. History is forever. (Well, kind of)I'll take the fame and title, thanks.

[trueblueblood]

Just saw it on espn

[CantBeStopped]

They saying just south of 8 mil a yr. So we could get vazquez for less?

[FightLikeSin]

And Broncos got Vasquez... Crap.

[AntonMcG]

I think I am the decider of about as much as everyone else on this forum, which is nothing.

Congratulations on the fame and title, what position do you play?

[trueblueblood]

What? Broncos got Vazquez? You've gotta be kidding me grigs....

[manning04]

Funny how the worry was expected money... 10 mil per year and such.  People were so concerned about that when the big thing for players is the guaranteed amount. expect to see many players to sign deals that per year will be good for teams. but high guaranteed amounts

[fncoltsfan]

GET VASQUEZ!

Vasquez just signed with the Broncos 4/23.5

What did he "decide"?  He simply pointed out that much, much more often than not, the actual guys who are in the position to make the choice (actual NFL players) choose the money over the chance to go to a contending team.  And he's right in saying that it's easy for any of us to say we would make X decision when we're not actually faced with that decision.  None of us posting here know for a fact what we would do if we were actually in the position to make the choice.

Hope Luck is working on his scrambling skills this off season.
