Lawrence Owen Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 https://twitter.com/RobertMathis98  More than willing to accept a 1 year extension & tutor any young thundercat they bring in the art of pass rushing!    Glad to see our Jedi of pass rushing over the past 10 years is a team player. willing to take a back seat to a young Obi-Wan and be his Qui-Gon...:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CR91 Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 I suggested us extending Mathis and Walden to free some cap space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why do we need more cap space in 2016 ? We have over 18 mill (8th out of the 32 teams) as of now. More than enough to do Luck's new contract and I really doubt we are looking at some free agent that would take big $'s to sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B~Town Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Just because your a good player doesn't mean your a good coach . As old as Mathis is would have to be a very friendly contract for the Colts to have incentive to sign him to another year now and not wait till later .

21isSuperman Posted April 26, 2016 Share Posted April 26, 2016 Better yet, why not bring him back as a positional coach? If he's this dedicated and passionate about teaching new guys, why not let him do it full time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus , you wouldn't want to create cap room in a manner like that unless you had a plan for the money. You do realize the money you create in 2016 diminishes by that same number in years you made those extensions.. right ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COLTS449 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Lets hope he gets to teach a couple young EDGE rushers this season. Spence or Floyd and then maybe Fackrell in the 3rd too. Or a later round kid like McCalister, Judon, Cowser, Holmes, etc, etc, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COLTS449 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 If Mathis has a good year this year we'll bring him back for another year or 2. At least as a rotational pass rusher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's there I think we're gonna take him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â So for me, I don't even consider those with flags. This way, the only surprises would be good ones. Â Spence is a terrific athlete, but if the Colts brass still has any sort of red flag on him,..he'd be untouchable. Â That's what i got from that press conference.

Why would you want to waste draft picks trading up for a player that will have a 3-5 year career? You do know what microfracture surgery is and what is does to your knees right?
