Pick 6

[nicky6times]

with the eagles having every good cb not named revis on the roster..do u think the colts might trade for asante samuel? he would be awesome in the tampa 2!! and with all the picks he gets its just that many more opportunities for manning 2 blow it up!!

[Andy]

Hahaha.... no.

[cjrulli]

Well except for the music we used to pump throw the sound systems during jaguar games according to Del Rio. lol

[coltsuser21]

i know who he is but didnt he pick off manning the last game vs eagles to seal the deal and make us loose?

[cjrulli]

And for the 10th time in as many years the Colts win the 'Moral Super Bowl'.

I should have also stated that he is due what like $9.5 million? + what ever we would have to give up to get him. Not worth it IMO.

[coltsuser21]

a lot of people think we will cut kelvin hayden if we do i think we sign a good cb like the tall guy in new york jets cromattie

[coltsuser21]

wait they did say that the colts are going to cut like 2 veterans for cap room...

[Coltssouth]

I really don't like the topic title.

Not something I like to think about!

2008: $645K ($9.145M)

2009: $1.9M ($9M)

2010: $8.895M ($9.995M)

2011: $5.9M ($7M)

2012: $8.4M ($9.5M)

Keep Cro as far away from Indy as possible!

As for Asante, I really like him, but his cap hit is too high. He will not be a Colt

we could make it work if we cut diem..we wouldnt even need to cut kelvin..asante, kenny powers, kelvin..sounds sweet 2 me

[Mouthfire]

$9.5 million this year, $11.5 million the next? No thanks. He isn't worth that much (plus whatever we'd have to trade to acquire him)

you rather pay kelvin 8.6 million a year instead

[CR91]

i for one would love to see asante here especially if we cut kelvin and his ridiculous contract(guessing irsey and polian were having some jager bombs when they made that deal) probably wouldnt have to give up more then a first round pick or a 2 and 3

No, I'd rather not pay Kelvin at all. That was a bad contract that Kelvin never lived up to.

But that's not really the problem with Kelvin's contract. The real problem with his contract is that, because the way his contract is structured, you only save about $1 million in cap space by cutting him. Because of that, you might as well keep him on the roster and make him earn it. The Colts best option is to keep him and try to restructure his contract so the cap hit isn't that much.

Simply put, though, $9-11 million a year is way too much for either of those guys.

So, $9-11 million a year plus a 1st rounder for Asante?

My friend, you are off your rocker....

[Andy]

I no, he's definitely worth 9.5M, he's arguably the best CB in the league, and definitely in the top 3 or 4. The question is: Are the Colts really going to pay that... no.

My friend, you are off your rocker....

so you rather pay an inexperience rookie 5 million who could be a bust instead of one of the best players in the nfl

Yeah, that seems like too much to give up for Asante. I do like him and I think he is a good player, but that is too much to give up.

Inexperienced rookie getting $5 mil? The only rookie we will have in the secondary is Rucker and he will definitely not be making that much.
