I’m going to float a name for consideration.  A name I never EVER would have come up with on my own.  I mention this name cause I read it somewhere recently.

 

Frank reportedly likes the Eagles former backup QB, Nate Sudfeld.   Thinks he’d be an acceptable backup to Wentz,  plus be very inexpensive.  
 

For what little it may be worth.

[DaColts85 512]

A name that could fit well with our zone scheme is Kevin King. He wasn’t terrible for Green Bay but had a bad game in the NFC Championship. Still he has talent and is a long and tall guy with enough speed to work the zone scheme.

I believe the colts have inquired about Suds in the past....possibly the year of one of the JB debacles.

King was absolutely abused in NFC Championship Game. Might of been the main reason GB missed out on SB.

 

 

Saying that. I don't see us bringing in anymore FA CBs. With Tell III coming back and Rhodes back in the fold, I think CB is down the list of needs. I could see a CB of the future drafted though.

Yeah I was going to add him. Was going to check on spelling of his name first. Haven't made it there yet.

I agree, tough to see Ballard jeopardizing 3 potential comp picks.

 

Although if some players were cut, they could be brought in.

[BlueCollarColts 189]

Zach Ertz is basically my number one wish right now. 

[richard pallo 2,819]

Mike McGlinchey.  Nothing has happened yet of course but we apparently made a call.  They still have to make a 5th yr option decision.  Long way to go to the draft so to me he's a potential just like Ertz.

I wonder if this could be the signing that Keefer is referring to?

Lumping these 2 post together because Schwartz was rumored to be retiring because of back injuries.

 

Saying that, I believe Keefer said the hold uo on the OL was waiting for a physical, so it might has some connection.

 

 

Also, yeah I think Schwartz has mainly been a RT, maybe it means they are serious about moving Smith to LT?

I personally don't see Fisher as the option.

Could be though, I suppose? Would make sense on the physical holding it up,  because it would be a while before they knkw how recovery is going?

I would like to bring in swing OT Dennis Kelly from the Titans. He played really well starting at RT for them and also has LT experience. Wouldn’t cost much.

 

I also like edge rushers Clowney and Tanoh K if the cost is cheap. 
 

We need to bring back Hilton on a cheaper deal also. Having only Pittman and Pascal that you can depend on is not enough.

A question for you about our 3 covid returns....   last year, their salaries were converted down to $150k.   Now they’re back up to about 650k each.   That’s $1.5m total. 
 

Any chance that’s involved in any math Discrepancies with OTC, Spotrac, or yourself?     Just thinking out loud...

We do need a backup LT so checking him out makes sense.   I still have a feeling a McGlinchey trade is on the table and makes a lot of sense for both teams.  From what I am reading they are very hesitant about paying the 5th year option.  So if they want to get max value this is the time to do it.  I also think they are interested in trading for Watson, whom I believe will be traded.  They could use our pick to help get Watson or they could also use it to move further up and draft a QB.  Now it might just come down to dollars and moving him before they have to exercise might be the smart thing to do.  In fact it is the smart thing to do IMO.  And here we sit with the need and the draft picks and the cap space.  For me he would be our 1st option and pair him up with Q again.  He is a far less riskier option than drafting and starting a rookie LT.  But it takes two to make a trade so we shall see.  In the meantime sign TY and Houston back please.

No, both have their cap hits the same.

 

My take on this is, it really is inconsequential.

 

Not sure where your $1.5m comes from?

 

I think at most, currently it would be a difference of $300k as Milligan is below the top 51 cap hits and not reflective on current space.

 

Worst case scenario is $450k difference.

 

Might not be any at all, the $150k was salary advance so cap hit may stay in year it was advanced from?  Not 100% sure though to be honest. I think teams had choices on if they wanted the $150k to count against 2020 or 2021 cap. From what I see it didn't count against 2020 cap.?

Yes

The $1.5 was 3 salaries that were $150k or $450k total and are now roughly $650k each or $1.95m.   The difference is $1.5m. 
 

But I always forget the top-51 rule.   I always trip over that one.   But, either way,  it sounds like no is the answer I’m getting. 

[w87r 5,358]

1 hour ago, NewColtsFan said:

I just don't know what you are talking about here?

 

The players 2021 cap numbers are already figured into 2021 cap space right now.

 

 

If anything is different, it is the $450k number. There is no $1.5m or $650k per?

 

 

Tell III $862k

Moore $850k

Milligan $780k

 

So if they take the $150k out of each it would be

 

Tell III $712k

Moore $700k

Milligan $630k

 

That's either $2.492m

 

Or 

 

$2.042m

 

 

And again these are already taken into consideration in our current cap situation.

 

If there is any discrepancy it would be of $450k at most, but $300k against top 51.

 

 

As far as the discrepancy between spotrac and OtC? They are around $2.3m in difference.

 

OtC:$35.87

Spotrac:$38.14m

 

OtC has Glowinski making $7.55m

Spotrac has Glowinski making $6.65m

 

There is 900k

 

OTC has Moore II making $6.4m

Spotrac has Moore II making $5.65m

 

That is another $750k

 

Totaling $1.65m

 

OTC has Doyle making $5.85

Spotrac has Doyle Making $5,787,500

 

Another $62,500

 

Small difference on Leonard

 

For some reason Spotrac has Tremon Smith $1,025,000 on the cap(he plays for Texans)

 

OtC has Okereke making $32,000 more than Spotrac

 

OtC has Stallworth $920k listed, Spotrac doesn't have him at all right now.

 

OTC has Dulin $850k listed, Spotrac doesn't have him listed at all.

 

OtC has 73 players listed on roster

Spotrac has 72 players listed

 

But we have went through now and need to subtract 1 from Spotrac with Tremon Smith listed above. Gets them to 71 players add in Stallworth and Dulin and you get to the 73 players that OtC has listed.

 

That $750k difference + the smaller discrepancies in the thousand gets you back to the $2.3m(ish) difference between the 2 sites. 

 

Stallworth + Dulin($1.77m) - Tremon Smith ($1.025m) = $745k

 

+ $1.65m(Moore II/Glowinski differnce)

 

= $2.4m

 

Saying all that, I would go with the OtC number right now.

 

$35.87m cap space

 

No Rhodes deal listed (-$5.72m)

No Wentz restructure (+$5m)

 

 

So I would say we are sitting at $35m

Tbh, I literally just ran through them side by side right now and figured out the difference.

 

It had been bugging me anyway, as to why there was one in first place. I already stumbled across the Leonard, Smith and Hines differences earlier in offseason(which has been fixed already)

 

So I did it for you, but for myself as well, a little selfishly.

Either way, that's WAY too much for either. We could have had Arnold for much less, and there's much better options at OG for the same or less..

Yes...  I know.    I just didn’t think of him as a natural 4-3 OLB.   I thought he was more a 3-4 player.   Hey, props to him if he can do both.   More power to him.   I don’t think most LBers can play in both systems.  Good for him if he can.

Was thinking you were thinking he was going to be lining up at DE.
