12isthenew18 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Donald thomas has also spent 2 seasons on IR at the third of the cost. Why hasn't thomas been cut when we save for possibly darius butler and co. Seeing ricky and others go this comes as a shocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

21isSuperman Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 If he restructures to take vet min, then I'm for it. Otherwise, I think it's just a matter of time until he's cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superman Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Do we save more money not letting him go until July? Just $250K. Not really a consideration, I don't think. It's June, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark_Indy Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Vet min for a guy who was our best lineman when healthy. I don't appreciate the sarcasm. He's played in 1.5 games in one season across two years of being on this team- yet in that (I'll be generous and say 90 minutes of playtime) you've been able to say that he is the best? Yep, let's flush cap space down the toilet so this guy can stub his toe walking to the buffet and be out for another season. Magnificent philosophy.

Superman Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Donald thomas has also spent 2 seasons on IR at the third of the cost. Why hasn't thomas been cut when we save for possibly darius butler and co. Seeing ricky and others go this comes as a shocker Donald Thomas is not due a $1m roster bonus in March. Tyvon Branch was. That's the major difference. I think he'll be released, unless he agrees to reduce his salary to vet minimum. Otherwise, another injury would really suck, as we'd have to pay him another $3.25m for essentially nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COLTS449 Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I wouldn't mind cutting him then bringing him back dirt cheap to be a backup. He was really good in the game or two he played before he got hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superman Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I wouldn't mind cutting him then bringing him back dirt cheap to be a backup. He was really good in the game or two he played before he got hurt. If he's willing to come back for dirt cheap, he'd be willing to renegotiate his salary. Same effect.

Gavin Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I don't think he was going to be the answer anyway, He was step up or 2 in what we had to begin with under the new regime...a solid pass blocker in the limited time he was on the field I think but not someone that we could run the ball behind I think, I'd take him back at vet minimum as a solid pass blocking O Lineman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nobody Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 (edited) He's played in 1.5 games in one season across two years of being on this team- yet in that (I'll be generous and say 90 minutes of playtime) you've been able to say that he is the best? Yep, let's flush cap space down the toilet so this guy can stub his toe walking to the buffet and be out for another season. Magnificent philosophy.Okay 1. I said when he was on the field he was our best lineman, not that he is our best lineman. 2. Giving vet min is "flushing cap space down the toilet"?

krunk Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 Hopefully he'll reduce his salary. I'd like to see him come back for another year.He was just snake bitten by injuries like Ijalana. Now Ijalana hasn't been on IRsince he left Indy that I know of. I think in both cases it's a stroke of bad luck. I want to see Thomas give it another shot. He'll be a big help if it works out.

I think somebody here has some anger management issues.... Both of Thomas' injuries came from either playing football or doing football related activities... training, weight lifting... So, your inference that he gets hurt doing almost nothing is completely false. But thanks for contributing to the thread..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indyagent17 Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Tearing a Quad muscle is always problematic. it is one of the toughest muscle groups to heal properly. It is also one of the largest muscle groups in the body. I honestly dont see him recovering from that or being able to play much more at all Very sad this happened to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwing BBZ Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Vet min for a guy who was our best lineman when healthy. I don't appreciate the sarcasm. The best of 5 bad lineman. ya, That was a special 2 games. The career backup is undersized at 303lb and Chuck wanted to him to work on his lower half to better be able to do what we needed. Did you watch him in slow-mo those 2 games. He ran funny- didn`t look particularly athletic when he tried to pull. Just another bad O-Line signing by Griggs.
