Vontae Davis ... retires?

Anyone making this a thing about the Bills are clueless.

 

There are bad teams every year and when was the last time you heard about a player quitting during a game?

 

Never.

 

Thus is a BAD LOOK for Vonte.   A terrible mistake.   Sorry he did this.  I suspect he’ll regret it someday...   at least I hope he does.

 

Awful.

Makes you wonder if he doesn't have personal problems going on. He is done though. He was a Good Colt, nothing great but Good for a couple years.

Here is his official Statement and yes every picture is him as a colt. 

One year he was great. The 2013 season I believe

Ok I get his statement, and if you think it's time to quit, then quit. But like, wait till the end of the game? Like damn. What a horrible decision by 21. Was one of my favourite Colts while he was here.

 

And that season you're thinking of was 2014. Didn't give up a TD all season. What a magical season that was.

that I agree with, should have told the coaches when game ended maybe mention to McDermott that this was it for you today.

 

And ahh okay I couldnt remember if it was his first good season with us or second good season that ended up being great for that

He was also pretty solid in 2015 and parts of 2016 too. Had some games where he shut down some big time guys like Hopkins, Evans, Allen Robinson and what not, but he kept getting hurt. By the time 2017 rolled around, he was a shell of his former self. Only in the NFL can I guy go from shutdown number 1 corner to retiring mid game in the span of 3 years. Crazy.

My guess is he gave up on the Colts last year too, which is why he got cut mid season

 

From what I remember, he wanted to have surgery so he would be ready for free agency and the team wanted him to rehab so he would possibly be available later in the season. He had the surgery and the colts released him.

Yessir.

 

This right here.

 

This is when it became clear he was trying to do what he could for one last payday to set him and his family up (nothing wrong w that) but didn't care about trying to help the team or pushing to get right.

 

So his statement today said the same.

 

He wasn't living up to his standards so he walked away.

 

Walked away w an extra $3.5M in his pocket i think.

 

I think I read somewhere he got $1.5M to sign and $2M of his salary this year was fully guaranteed.

 

Not bad to make $3.5M extra in your career for one half of football after he was inactive for game 1.

 

Crazy

I'd retire too if I played for the Bills.

Once he saw they were going to be terrible he called it a career. LOL! Jeesh he could have at least pulled himself out, claimed to be injured and watched from the sidelines or something.

    • There are no owners in the NFL that are perfect people. Some owner's demons are more public, some not so much, but they all have them. There's much more to the free agency issue and the Colts than most are aware of. There are a lot of intangibles most will never consider. That said, there is more to almost every aspect of any organization that most will ever be aware of. Those are often the things that matter most.  
    • You can't measure what is "right" in a vacuum, or just by "feel". It takes so much more than that. The Colts front office performance is judged in relationship with all the other teams in the NFL. Just trying to objectively align the different perspectives of the scouting and coaching staff requires more sophisticated evaluation methods than what we saw in the video.   It doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling, but I understand this is the way a lot of organizations work.
    • https://www.stampedeblue.com/2024/4/1/24118330/i-pity-the-fool-mock-draft     Trade Colts 2nd round (440)   For   Packers pick 58 and 91 (456)   Packers select Zach Frazier C West Virginia 6'2 314lbs Logic: Packers replace Jon Meyers who gave up 5 sacks and had a pff grade of 55.8   Colts trade pick 58 and Kwity Paye   For   Saints Marshon Lattimore CB 27 years old and a conditional 2025 4th (depending on snaps could be 3rd) From Over the cap The team trading for Lattimore would take on his contract as is. They would have the decision to either pick up the option to defer the cap charges or to simply take all of the hit in 2024. Here is the cost on the cap if the team picks up the option in the contract:   Year Salary Cap Charge Dead Money 2024 $15,000,000 $12,000,000 2025 $18,000,000 $0 2026 $18,500,000 $0 2027 (void) $0 $0 Lattimore has no guaranteed money in his contract after 2024 so there is nothing that would lock a team into him beyond this year. Colts Logic: We wanted some experience in the secondary. We wanted a shutdown corner. So we give the Saints a offer they can not refuse. In the first 2 rounds we address most of our defensive woes. Saints Logic: Saints are switching to a 4-3 defense this year and just let Michael Thomas walk. They have always been cap wizards but this may be the year to start a new with the changes listed above. Lattimore has only played 17 games these past two seasons and even though he's a top 12 CB when healthy he has been dinged up. Kwity Paye can start at DE until Chase Young is healthy.
    • Ballard should have never cut him. I want Ogletree on the team as well considering charges were dropped (I believe), but his whole fiasco with his fiance where battery might have been involved was way more of a sensitive topic and understandable of being cut for than Rodgers friend betting 1k on his account on a Colts run stat over/under. That's the worse thing Rodgers was found guilty of, and now we have Colts fans trying to convince themselves we need a RD1 CB pick after 3 were chosen in last year's draft...    He did a podcast detailing what he bet on with Franklin and Speed in case others haven't seen it. Much ado about nothing imho and it's obvious the locker room still like him/didn't think he was negatively trying to affect the outcome of games, and they would know best on that over anyone.    
    • Yeah... I don't buy it... BUT... if there is someone you might have to take seriously about something like that... it's Jeremiah. Remember how he absolutely killed that last mock with predicting the exact trade and exact picks for the Texans? Lets see if he has similarly good sources on the Colts...
