If this is true, then good luck with your next team, TY.

No way they should pay him that kind of money.

[Valpo2004]

That might just be his initial number.  He may be expecting to have that negotiated down to 11 to 12 M a year.  

[Everyone]

Bye Bye T.Y.......

[Bluefire4]

He's not getting Dez and Demaryius money until he puts up the stats of those two.

[RockThatBlue]

I can't imagine us signing him for that much. That dorsett pick looks pretty good at the moment huh?

[krunk]

Every negotiation starts out on the high end.  We'll see what happens when we get there.

[Mr.Debonair]

The guarantee will be the most important number

[pgt_rob]

It's good to aim high if I were TY Hilton. I doubt he hits that though. My guess is $62.5M/5 year contract.

[crazycolt1]

Seeking and getting are two different things. I can't see him getting Dez money, he hasn't earned that. He was 3rd on the Colts in TD catches. When Wayne went down so did TY's numbers.

[PeterBowman]

standard negotiating....TY aims high....Grigson will aim lower.....will hopefully meet somewhere in the middle.

[CR91]

I love you TY, but thats not possible. accept 12 m buddy

[Indyfan4life]

Not gonna happen. The Colts, nor any other team will give him that kind of money.

Hilton will get paid, but not that much. I do hope we work out something to keep him with us though, that's for sure.

[throwing BBZ]

He is a good kid and every team needs a field stretcher.
Moncrief, Dorsett, and Fleener can also do that. We are fortunate that way.
TY has played for peanuts so NOW is the time to get what the market will bear. lol
 I heard we had a GREAT QB who will only get better. I vote Depth. Now if he could block...
 

[GoColts8818]

As his agent should ask for. That doesn't mean it will be the final number.

Report: Colts, T.Y. Hilton negotiating long-term deal; Hilton wants $14 million per year http://t.co/ZKo8JzRvJL

"Is Hilton worth as much as Bryant?" No, clearly not. But thought he was worth $12M before Bryant & Thomas deals, which raised market at WR.

[TKnight24]

A few thoughts: 1) Colts need to re-sign TY; 2) $14M might just be a starting point; 3) he's closer to $14M than many might want to think.

I think his negotiating tactic is already working. Just a month ago, some on the board were thinking that $12M per year was too high. Now that T.Y. wants $14M per year, we're asking him to accept $12M or in that ballpark.

[Superman]

Jason Cole isn't a good source.

 

Drew Rosenhaus is an agent who works to get the most he can for his clients. Just like Dez and DT were "reportedly" looking for > $16m/year, and wound up taking $14m/year. That's how contract negotiations work.

 

Since the Dez/DT contracts, I've been saying the market for Hilton is somewhere around $13m/year. I put up a proposal for an extension a few weeks ago that averaged $13m/year in new money. Them asking for $14m/year -- if that's accurate -- isn't surprising to me, but I don't think the Colts will give him that.

[lollygagger8]

Ummmm 

[indyagent17]

He hasn't done nearly enough to get 8 mil a year let alone 14.

 

He is a great receiver but he is not worth breaking the bank, I hope he and his agent come to their senses this next offseason

[Deathiltis]

Even 12mill is steep. Have fun rotting on your next team TY, Colts have your replacement already. Absolutely no reason he deserves Dez/Demaryious money.

[TKnight24]

While on the subject, one of most important people for Colts over next year will be Mike Bluem, their cap specialist. Need to get creative.

I remember when I was thrilled to get a $.0.75 an hour raise....

8? He'll sign for waaaay more than 8.

 

I'd be happy if we can get him for 12

[csmopar]

Makes that Dorsett pick look even better.  

[UKCOLT17]

I'd give him the same as Cobb don't think he's much better. i hope the colts don't give him to much if other people play well this year I'd rather let him go not worth that much to me.

[braveheartcolt]

Welcome to the Colts Fan Forum. The knee-jerk capital of the world!

[BlueCollarColts]

I'm hoping the Colts can negotiate that down to 11-12m per. 

[chad72]

Makes that Dorsett pick look even better.  

 

Let's make sure that guy Dorsett can ball before we put the cart before the horse .

 

This is a case of T.Y.Hilton's contract being done a year before Andrew's is and if the cap does go up, the Colts ponying up $12-13 mil./year to get him locked down might look better long term. You just have to hope T.Y. doesn't go Andre Johnson or Antonio Brown on the team after signing the original extension asking for more later.

 

I still think the Colts get the extension done before the season ends for sure.

[csmopar]

Food for thought....we're 13 mil under the cap now, if we don't use that, we roll that over into next year right?  so.....that will help. Assuming, we dont sign anyone else between now and then.

[ColtsLegacy]

The # you say?

That's too far
