Pick 6

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.

The details are in on Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Asante Samuel's contract, and he'll make $32.14 million in the first three years of the deal. The contract looks like this:

Signing Bonus: $6M

Roster Bonuses: $7M in 2008, $7M in 2009

Workout Bonuses: $500K in 2008, $100K per year for the rest of the contract.

Base Salaries (Cap Number)

2008: $645K ($9.145M)

2009: $1.9M ($9M)

2010: $8.895M ($9.995M)

2011: $5.9M ($7M)

2012: $8.4M ($9.5M)

2013: $10.4M ($11.5M)

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

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

you rather pay kelvin 8.6 million a year instead

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....

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.

    • https://www.stampedeblue.com/2024/4/1/24118330/i-pity-the-fool-mock-draft     Trade Colts 2nd round (440)   For   Packers pick 58 and 91 (456)   Packers select Zach Frazier C West Virginia 6'2 314lbs Logic: Packers replace Jon Meyers who gave up 5 sacks and had a pff grade of 55.8   Colts trade pick 58 and Kwity Paye   For   Saints Marshon Lattimore CB 27 years old and a conditional 2025 4th (depending on snaps could be 3rd) From Over the cap The team trading for Lattimore would take on his contract as is. They would have the decision to either pick up the option to defer the cap charges or to simply take all of the hit in 2024. Here is the cost on the cap if the team picks up the option in the contract:   Year Salary Cap Charge Dead Money 2024 $15,000,000 $12,000,000 2025 $18,000,000 $0 2026 $18,500,000 $0 2027 (void) $0 $0 Lattimore has no guaranteed money in his contract after 2024 so there is nothing that would lock a team into him beyond this year. Colts Logic: We wanted some experience in the secondary. We wanted a shutdown corner. So we give the Saints a offer they can not refuse. In the first 2 rounds we address most of our defensive woes. Saints Logic: Saints are switching to a 4-3 defense this year and just let Michael Thomas walk. They have always been cap wizards but this may be the year to start a new with the changes listed above. Lattimore has only played 17 games these past two seasons and even though he's a top 12 CB when healthy he has been dinged up. Kwity Paye can start at DE until Chase Young is healthy.
    • Ballard should have never cut him. I want Ogletree on the team as well considering charges were dropped (I believe), but his whole fiasco with his fiance where battery might have been involved was way more of a sensitive topic and understandable of being cut for than Rodgers friend betting 1k on his account on a Colts run stat over/under. That's the worse thing Rodgers was found guilty of, and now we have Colts fans trying to convince themselves we need a RD1 CB pick after 3 were chosen in last year's draft...    He did a podcast detailing what he bet on with Franklin and Speed in case others haven't seen it. Much ado about nothing imho and it's obvious the locker room still like him/didn't think he was negatively trying to affect the outcome of games, and they would know best on that over anyone.    
    • Yeah... I don't buy it... BUT... if there is someone you might have to take seriously about something like that... it's Jeremiah. Remember how he absolutely killed that last mock with predicting the exact trade and exact picks for the Texans? Lets see if he has similarly good sources on the Colts... 
    • There're a couple of things that seems off about this to me.   1) The Colts moving up in the 1st. 2) Moving up for a CB after Ballard just spent the pre-draft presser complementing the CB group.
    • What he “projects” and what he would play are two completely different things. Idk why people sleep on DeJean, he’s going to surprise a lot of people wherever he ends up going. The kid is a DAWG.
