I agree. I don't think they'll do it. It leaves them greater options. They can still sign him to an extension before the season is out. They can let him test free agency. Or they can walk away from him, depending on how things work with Latu. Or keep him if Tyquan or Dayo get injured (again). It's just more options. I don't think they'll do it today. -
The only problem with that approach is going into FA his price will be higher. Extend him now for cheaper -
Im not certain if there will even be any room for Pierce bc the 4th and 5th receivers need to have special teams ability. I think AD will show enough to gain the Colts confidence. You know Dulin will be there. So from there you're competing with Gould and whoever else. You know Gould plays special teams. Going to be interesting what they have in mind. -

Latu's addition also tells me that Gus is not doggedly adhering to his historical "Cover-3 Leo" defense. Latu is not a Leo. He's not the undersized wide-9 OLB type playing in a 4-3. He's a bona fide 4-3 DE. I'm expecting Gus to even further move away from his historical base defense. (I never believed that he was going to cling to it come h3ll or high water. That his coverages last year were simplified perforce, due to the inexperience of the guys he had on the field.) I'm excited to see what we look like defensively with the new guys inserted. -
It's about who else is Free Agents vs cap space, propensity to pay our own, can we find better 2-way(run-pass) production for less, is it worth a gamble? Fact that we have the top defensive player on our board from the draft under cheap contract, makes it easier to offset funds. Like I said we can almost have 4 DEs with the funds paid to Bosa by himself. The fact that all I hear from the Colts is glowing reviews about him. In my opinion the Colts brought Latu in to start opposite of Paye, in the long term. Ebukam will be 31 when he's due for a new contract in 2026. Just because we exercise the option, doesn't mean we can't work on an extension if his trajectory shows continued growth. Good thing is we will know in a few hours.
