Is Satele safe

[coltnorth]

Almost everyone on this forum (including myself) is making plans for a new center for next year. We keep bringing up big name FA or draft prospects. Lately I keep hearing mentions of Satele looking more and more like being our starter again next year. Im not sure where these reports are coming from. Can anybody point me towards an actual quote or article that might suggest this is true

[Rob Lowe]

Statele has to go IMO

[Gavin]

Grigson would have to be a fool to put it bluntly to pay him over 5 mill to be our starter next year ($5,066,667.00 to be exact) with the FA' Centers that are available and the potential to get a good one in the draft (although I really only like Stork). Ill be pretty disappointed if Satele is still starting come next year for the Colts but dont see that happeneing

[BPM_Colt]

If we keep him and pay out what he is suppose to get this year, rather than cut him loose and sign another center... That would be a joke to me

[Gibbons180]

Lets put it this way: The interior line is very poor right now due to injuries, lack of experience, and plain lack of talent. If no changes are made, If the interior line is safe, Andrew Luck isn't. GO COLTS

[IUfan_Charlie]

Cut Satele, sign Alex Mack (preferably).

[GoColts8818]

I hope not I don't see how the Colts can justify him beingvthevthird highest paid player in their offense next year based on his performance to date.

[BrentMc11]

Is this really another Satele thread....?  How many threads do we need of hate toward the guy...I don't like how he has played either, but how many synonyms can we come up with for SUCKS???  He will be gone.  

[lollygagger8]

Should we get rid of Satele?? 

 

Is this even a serious question?

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

I just got a feeling he is back. Grigsons first sign you know!

[Dark Superman]

If he was cheap I would keep him but he's not worth 4million dollars.

[azcolt]

With a better center, Trent would be an all-pro.

[Bluefire4]

I heard on stampede blue that grigson may be too stubborn to let him go and will keep hm and hope that Khaled Holmes eventually replaces him.

[Build Da'Monster]

keeping satele on the roster at all would be an awful decision, not only is he not good enough to start, but he is way too overpaid to be a back up

[HungarianColtsFan]

Poor Samson, the entire Forum feel the same about him:

Wow is that AV's replacement at Kicker buddy?  The funny lil fella has a leg!!

Consider the source.

I'm curious, but where have you been hearing this?  Fans opinions on message boards don't count.  ;)

I have a feeling he will be back myself. I think for some reason they're highly committed to him.

[COLTS449]

There is absolutely no way he is back next year. Satele is the worst starting center in the NFL!!! By definition, it would be insane to bring him back as insanity is repeating the same action over and over and expecting different results each time.

[colts8718]

If Grigson can swallow his pride Satele will be gone

[Black-Vell]

No one is safe in this regime and I like it. Every position is evaluated and if there is a way to make the team better it will at least be explored. Go 11-5 once after going 2-14, could be a coincidence, go twice, its a trend. Credit must be given to the front office that they are doing a lot right.  It could be me believing the hype, but if for no other reason besides cap number, S Satele is out. He publicly gets disrespected about his skill level and his inconsistency is a direct result in A Luck rushing throws running for his life in the pocket. The same DEF that roughed us up, couldnt touch Peyton for 3 quarters.

 

I read that back and must say this out loud. When  say "no one is safe", obviously i'm not talking about the players our team is currently built around.   

[1yrdandacloudofdust]

If Satele is back, the fire Grigson crowd need to start getting louder.

[masterlock]

Grigson COULD have gone with A.Q. Shipley, released Satele and saved a bunch of money, but chose not to. Soooo.....

[IndyScribe]

Well bad news for you, Satele probably will be, as much as I hate to say it. This FO is too forgiving. Not benching the worse players, and giving starting jobs back to players who should have never had them in the first place. Not too mention not cutting David Reed, benching Richardson, and benching DHB until it was too late. I want Satele to be gone from Indy, but I wouldn't be surprised if he stayed.

[Bluefire4]

Consider the source. 

True.. but Grigson didn't get rid of him last year.

[Fx Stryker]

With a better center, Trent would be an all-pro.

 

Trent played behind Alex Mack last season. The best center in the league.

[John Dee]

If this is how Grigs is going to roll?   He won't be GM here long.     The honeymoon is over. 

 

No more protecting "your" guys.   Play the best players ...   period.

 

And STOP trying to TRADE for the next shiny toy.     Just DRAFT.

I heard on stampede blue that grigson may be too stubborn to let him go and will keep hm and hope that Khaled Holmes eventually replaces him.

[SLILLINGTON10]

what is we can't sign a center is FA? then i think Grigs will feel like he has to keep Satele.

[Maniq]

Poor Satele.

But he still needs to go.

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

With a better center, Trent would be an all-pro.

NOT!!

[BOTT]

If Satele is back, the fire Grigson crowd need to start getting louder.

Crowd? More like a small gathering of dip*****

[1959Colts]

My guess is, he returns and starts. Same as always.

[Balzer40]

I don't and can't see Satele being back. Of course depending on what happens between free agency and the beginning of the season, that could always change. It's just too early to know if he'll be back, but I'll be somewhat shocked if he is. 

[1yrdandacloudofdust]

Crowd? More like a small gathering of dip*****

Whatever, the crowd will grow if this guy is back

[James]

Satele is so weak. If Grigson doesn't cut Satele, then Grigson himself should be "cut". Grigson's future with the Colts should depend on this decision

[AntonMcG]

I can't help but fear that Satele will be back as our starting center next season.

[theanarchist]

what is we can't sign a center is FA? then i think Grigs will feel like he has to keep Satele.

Is McGlynn a FA? Either way McGlynn is a good way to go for us. Cut Satele, re-sign McGlynn. We already know McGlynn plays pretty well at C. Lets hope that the team feels the same way and we save some $ and upgrade at Center and not have to even look outside the current roster.

[Maniq]

It's really obvious. If the coaching staff is that stubborn about him, I'll be very disappointed.

 

Grigson has said, that he wants the best line in the league. That clearly demands a move at C and G depending on the developments of Thomas and Thornton.

 

We'll see.
