Thinking of Gavin this Bye Week.....

So, yesterday would've been a very big day for our friend, Gavin....

 

Pierre Desir was a sleeper favorite of his.    We were both a bit surprised that he wasn't drafted until the 4th round, but we both liked him as a long term propsect from a very small school background.

 

And yesterday,  he picked off Rothlisbeger on the Steelers very first play.     I think Gaving would've been very happy.

 

But that's not all....    or, as the commercials like to say.....    "Wait,  there's MORE!!"

 

Gavin also liked a guy who got drafted and had not lived up to expectations in his first few years.     Gavin had Adrian Clayborn on a list of possible free agents signings to try and create some pass rush.

 

Well.....    yesterday,  Clayborn had himself a CAREER in one game.     SIX SACKS in just one game!     And he did it versus Dallas.    Of course,  Tyrann Smith was out,  and he ate their back-up,  Chaz Green,  alive.       I think Gavin would've been tickled over this one!      Six sacks in one game!      That deserves a Holy Cow!!

I hope Gavin has a very big smile on his face as he looks down from the best view in the house.      Yesterday, was a very good day for him!

 

Congrats,  Gavin!!      You nailed those two!!

That's cool of you to recall with specificity what he was thinking..

We should all aim to peck out ideas on our keyboards that are worth contemplating/remembering.

Thank you #1 for remembering Gavin and #2 for sharing your thoughts with us.

 

He would be proud, and honored.  

 

Afterall....isn't that what everyone wants..  to live your life in such a way that your presence is still felt and you're still thought of on a daily basis long after you've gone.

Awesome post NCF, you are one classy Dude, Gavin would have loved it! I know that A Luck is what brought you to this forum, but I sure hope you stick around after his time in Indy has ended(hopefully not for a long, looooooong time!!!!!) I bet Gavin's  somewhere up there debating our Coaching/Team situation right now!

I doubt I'll ever change my avatar. It would have been nice getting some more insightful and thought out post from him during this messy season

I feel the same way, really can't talk myself into changing mine either. I do miss his insight right now.

    • This has to be the worst take I've seen on this forum in a very long time!  I wish there was a thumb down or dislike button for your post.
    • Kool-Aid McKinstry(41), Kamari Lassiter(no.42), Max Melton(43) all have their 3d year completely guaranteed too.    In general it seems like MItchell's contract is middle of the road type of contract. Some got more guaranteed, some less... 
    • Enjoy I'm making an 11 hour trip myself  in November  to get to a colts game.
    • Details from OTC: https://overthecap.com/player/adonai-mitchell/11660   Four years, $7,386,086 total value, $4,817,431 fully guaranteed at signing (65.2%, no info about offsets) Signing bonus, $2,191,700 (prorated to $547,925/year) Salaries for 2024 ($795,000) and 2025 ($1,130,731) are fully guaranteed at signing Salary for 2026 ($1,466,462) partially guaranteed ($700,000) at signing (47.7%)   The #46 pick this year was Jonathon Brooks (coincidentally, the Colts original draft spot), to the Panthers. His contract is only guaranteed for the first two years, total of $4,914,107 guaranteed, which is 58.4% of the total value. At first, I thought this meant AD Mitchell's contract is pretty good, but apparently Brooks' contract is kind of bad. The next pick was Tyler Nubin (Giants), who has nearly all of his third year guaranteed. And last year, the #46 pick was Keion White (Patriots), and almost half of his third year was guaranteed. So Brooks seems to have undercut his guarantees. Some teams hold the line really well, so I was thinking maybe Carolina doesn't want guarantees in the third year, but they drafted Jonathan Mingo at #39 last year, and guaranteed almost half of his third year. Brooks probably could have done better if he had waited a few weeks.   The second round is kind of all over the place this year. There are still 11 guys unsigned, and a good number at the top and in the middle of the round. But all the way up at #40, Cooper DeJean (Eagles) only has $247k guaranteed in 2026, and his total percentage of guarantee is only 62.8%, so his contract isn't as favorable as Mitchell's. And then you have a few guys in the middle of the round -- like Jackson Powers-Johnson (Raiders, #44) and Edgerrin Cooper (Packers, #45) -- who have 2026 fully guaranteed (Cooper's is all but $76k).   But it's all going up. AD Mitchell has more favorable guarantees than Jonathan Taylor did when he was the #41 pick in 2020 (53.9%). Each draft class pushes it a little further than the previous class.
