The OFFICIAL Satele WONT get CUT thread

[Naptown Lifer]

He won't... Just book it

[Nobody]

It wouldn't surprise me and that shouldn't be. Hope we can actually realize how awful he is.

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

Agree I can feel it. I think the more people want Grigson to do it the less chance of it happening. Satele was he's first :luv:  sign. Its like your first love!

[ColtsLegacy]

The OFFICIAL all threads with titles that include "official" aren't really official post.

[Colts_Fan12]

He prolly won't and neither will Toler so we will be stuck with a cripple CB and weak C

[ColtsLegacy]

He won't... Just book it

If you put "official" in your title I expect to see some facts, dammit.

[Thewholefnshow28]

I can live with him still being on the roster, but if he is the starter all season next year then Grigs really whiffed on upgrading the offensive line. We have to upgrade the center position and probably the guard position as well.  We cannot afford having him be the center all season again.

If we have to sit through another season of Luck running for his life.. Well.

Someone is surely getting fired. Irsay won't put up with it.

We had a ton of cap the past two seasons.. There's no excuse.

Are you currently employed by the Colts front office? Lol.

[Bluefire4]

At his press conference Grigson sure seemed like he was planning on cutting him. But nothings certain until it happens.

Yep. Grigson had a clear answer on everything asked but Satele and McGlynn.

[The Peytonator]

If you listen to what Grigson said about Satele's future with the Colts, you would know they are not planning to proceed with him on the roster. The only way I could see him staying is if all the pending FA centers are retained by their current team. If that happens, hopefully Holmes improves enough to overtake him.

[HtownColt]

He better not be the starter is all I'm saying, if he isn't going be the starter he needs to be cut with his sizeable cap hit

[DougDew]

The only way I could see him staying is if all the pending FA centers are retained by their current team.

That's looking more and more likely.

[schwamm]

I strongly suspect they will consider holding on to him until they have a reliable replacement, be it through FA or the draft.  If they don't hit on something they want, we may see another year of head bobbing.

This is what I'm worried about, our top 3 candidates to replace Satele all sound like they are gonna be re-signed by their teams.  Which means that we may end up stuck with him as there is no one in free agency to replace him.  

[jvan1973]

officially a lame thread

The top 3 candidates as identified by our esteemed forum may (I'm being somewhat kind here) have no correlation with those Grigson determines to be his top candidates.

That's looking more and more likely.

I think De La Puente still has a shot at hitting FA. Unless of course the NFL keeps throwing bones at the teams that handed out bad contracts over the last few years, and helps them get under the cap.

[Gavin]

I dont think he gets cuts but not because staff dont think that its time to move on but moreso because Im just not sold on any Center in this draft outright like I was last year.

 

Swanson-Lacks a jolting hand punch and lacks the strength to open up holes consistently drive blocking in a power scheme and spends to much time getting knocked down to me,

 

Ikard-Also on the ground to much for me, Not a good drive blocker and can be overpowered by bigger DT's

 

Marcus Martin-Limited laterally, can get to the second levely but bends at the waist and over extends, also slips off his target at the second level, All that is correctable except lateral movement, But he is not a mauler and will have trouble against bigger DT's, seems content to often to stalemate with his man, does show a jolt when he shoots his hands out but thats not usually until he gets to the second level

 

 

One I do like as a developmental Center whos got mauling power a solid hand punch and thats Russell Bodine out of North Carolina

[IndyScribe]

He better not be the starter is all I'm saying, if he isn't going be the starter he needs to be cut with his sizeable cap hit

I would rather keep McGlynn as back-up, if Holmes is ready.

[Gavin]

Thats exactly what I expect they will do and after its all said and done I wont be suprised if he is back

[SilentHill]

He's getting paid top 10 Center $$ and is only a cap casualty of a little more than 1MM if we let him go.

 

The FO would have to have EXTREME faith in him being the starter if they keep him, and I just don't see it.

[Slick_Rick]

I'd much rather this be our center than Satele.

I thought you where engaging in hyperbole by saying he's getting paid top 10 center money but I just looked and according to overthecap.com Satele has the 10th highest APY in terms of cap hit per year of all centers.  

 

So you are right he is getting top 10 money.

if that happens, then i say still cut satele and resign mcglynn to play center.

Yup, that is how i got my facts. I love that site.

[Gabriel Alexander Morillo]

"Official". You keep using that word, I do not think it means what you think it means. 

[COLTS449]

Why would he not get cut? He's a bum, that's making 4 or 5 million dollars a year. You don't continue to pay that kind of money to someone as bad as Satele. Why would Grigson want our line to continue to be terrible. Think about it, the only logical decision is to cut him. If we kept him, it would be such a bad move, people should get fired. He's that bad.

[jb17]

lets get #ReleaseSatele trending on twitter....tag jim irsay!!!

[GwinnettColt]

I still can see him trotting right out there on game day.  Sorry, but it's a pattern.

 

McGlynn (or a comparable FA at guard).  Please prove me wrong. 

 

If they do, I'm going to make a video of the exaggerated head bob and put it to hip-hop music. 

 

 

[NewEra]

He won't... Just book it

That you satele? Don't get mad, you're gone bro! Good luck with your new team ;)

[Jaric]

I've been waiting for us to cut Linkenbach for years.

[Jaric]

Also, Satele is gone. BOOK IT! (because saying that after a bold statement makes it official)

[BLUEx40]

At his press conference Grigson sure seemed like he was planning on cutting him. But nothings certain until it happens.

I agree he said they have a plan in place usually if there is a plan for a player they probably wont be coming back 

ps-I hope

[BLUEx40]

I'd much rather this be our center than Satele.

YES!

[BLUEx40]

they could go to the pee wee league's and try to replace him they would probably find some one stronger 

[1959Colts]

My money is on Satele returning.
