Is that you, brad wells?

This is not the 1959 Colts.

[Nyvart]

I don't think the they broke the bank -- that's about the limit that I wanted them to spend.  One less worry!

[Poster X]

Good job Mr. Davis.

 

 

[HoosierColt89]

Geeeeez! I hate busting the bank for one guy. I guess we will have chump change left over for second or third

rate linemen again next year.  

Well, except that we have like $18 million left to spend. But ok...

[John Waylon]

Cromartie and Revis hitting the market knocked him down a few pegs in his own market. Hopefully that played into our hands.

How can we improve the defense if we spend the our entire salary cap on our own crappy players?

Just stop..

We still have to pay the draftees and anyone else we have to pick up to fill holes. 10 mil a year is

a little high for what we got is all I'm saying.

Yeah how on earth can we afford the draft picks and their $500K salaries?!?!

Change you name to Mr. Negativity. This was a smart move.

Release Andrew Luck, of course. 

 

Duh.

OMG!!! You are so freaking annoying with all your pessimistic crap. Why do you even follow the Colts? You literally whine and complain about everything they do. You need to go to the hospital and get that stick surgically removed from your sphincter, maybe that and a few midol will help your terrible attitude.

Derp.

[NY_Colts]

_{Asinine signing. This, along with Moala, and Vinatieri... I have lost all respect for Grigson}

Asinine????? I did the math, it's actually asininePOINTsevenFIVE mill per year..... All in all its not horrible, 10 mill is around how much elite CBs are getting especially a 25 year old CB

[crazycolt1]

ESPN just said its 4 years 39 million.

Polian busted out laughing.

Who cares what Polian thinks?  Him and his son were a joke the last 4 years they were here. Polian is one of the biggest hypocrites in the NFL. He now gets paid for a job that he thought was a joke before.

OK, now I know you aren't serious. Davis was gonna get paid by some team. He's hardly crappy.

[1959Colts]

OK keep telling yourselves that Grigson is doing a good job.

Next year when our defense stinks again and we are afraid to try a field goal from further than 50 yards out.

Ill wont say... I told you so.

You talk like Polian is a god with his view of how cap space needs to be spent now your pulling a two face?

Find one link from a credible source that says Davis is crappy.

With your crappy attitude I highly doubt if anyone cares to hear a peep out of you.

[1959Colts]

Was anyone really happy with our defense last year?

Davis is not that good. 10 million for the guy who we had last year?

 

Our secondary was bad. And Davis played in every game.

I understand you're bitter over getting fired, but you gotta get over it Bill.

 

ESPN can't be all that bad?

[Beauregarde]

From the man himself:

@JimIrsay: Glad to welcome back Vontae Davis to the team! #COLTSTRONG

This forum is a hoot. Most of the day yesterday, people were saying how great Davis is and how we needed to re-sign him. Then the rumor started that he was signing elsewhere and he became the biggest overpriced bum in the entire NFL. Now that we have him for $9.75 million per year he is back to being great again. People post with their emotions and not their heads. Hey, I think it was a good signing and, yes, it is too much but welcome to the world of good young CBs in the NFL today.

[C0LT5]

Lasik has really gotten good lately. I got it a few years ago and have 20/20 vision now. You might want to look into it.

[COLTS449]

Ultimate Mega Merge.

[Monster]

Thank you Grigs, Thank you Polian!!!  Yes the money was big but the market had been set. Everyone will realize that when you see Talib's, Verner's  and Revis's deals...A necessary evil But a NECESSITY none the less....GO COLTS!  BTM!!!!

[NewEra]

didn't he give hayden 8 million a year 5 years ago?

I really can't stand Polian. Like to smoke his face with a 20# dumbell to be honest.

[NewEra]

Glad he's back. Wish it was a little cheaper but it is what it is. How does his contract affect the cap?

[coltsfanatic24]

It was a good deal not many CB's can do what Davis can, now we just have to sign a center.

[James]

Just stop. You're a terrible poster.

[NewColtsFan]

4 years, $39 Mill?!?

 

Well.....   people didn't want us to sign him for $10 Mill per....    and we didn't!

 

(Just $9.75m per! )

 

Unfortunately,  it's the cost of doing business in the NFL.

 

I'm just glad it's not a 5 or 6 year deal.

[Maniq]

I'm glad he's back. A little high but his potential is huge. I'm excited.

[SteelCityColt]

So what we should do is blow the entire thing up? Cut them all?

One it wasn't our entire cap, and looking at the other deals out there it was market rate for a CB this year, two Davis was inconsistent yes but in no way crappy in every game as you suggest. I'd also argue its hard to be a CB playing on a island when your team only has one pass rusher.

Complaining about the AV deal too, you do realise this isn't 1959 dollar value right!?!
