New Player's Numbers


CR91

Recommended Posts

What happened to Ernie Sims? I thought he had 55.

He was a FA that was not re-signed if i'm not mistaken. His number is up for grabs.

I had the same thought when Redding was signed and announced he would wear #90. Jamaal Anderson wore #90...he got signed to the Bengals a week or two later.

Quan Cosby needs to get a different number. 12 doesn't sound like WR, it sounds like QB. Same with the 11. Receivers should go back to the 80s, if available.

I don't if Cosby needs to be on the team at all lol. But I agree, it would be nice for some of them to move to 80's. Avery was 82 last season if i'm not mistaken. I don't see why he didn't take that...He needs to get a new domain name for his website!

Question for you guys....When we drafted Peyton, on draft day they already had the #18 jersey ready when they called his name.

Is this because he signed a contract before the draft?

No. They probably asked him what # he wanted if they took him.

They can always give away their number or sell it. Simple question to Cosby, " do you want a different number and stay, or would you like to seek work elsewhere?" Don't recall ever seeing him on the field or participating, though in previous years usually let my kids have my tickets for preseason games , probably go myself this year

Nope he wasn't signed, 'cause he held out for a day or two when camp opened..

i kinda dont like how Andrew Luck wears 12. It reminds me of Tom Brady...

I would say 17 so it could be Peyton 18 and Unitas 19.

But i forgot Austin Collie is 17...

I hope he picks #10, the number his dad wore for the Oilers.

I'm in favor of that as well, just to spite theses jokers. Well if jokers is a safe enough word to use in describing my view on the subject. I will not expand on that so any feelings aren't hurt.

His Daddy wore 12 at WVA.

It's going to be 12.

I like 12, but it's a little over used. For the Colt's sake 17 is perfect for keeping the Unitas and Manning tradition going. Austin Collie can change his number, he's not that special.

Doubtful IMO. Collie is well known enough that he won't be asked to change. I see him wearing 12. Besides, our 12 will be better and greater than that whiner in NE...what's his name? Brody or Bundy... ... :D

I think 82 is a retired number for the Colts.

I hope he wears #12. As much as I hate Tom Brady, he's had success. Better than #7, don't you think? (Curtis Painter)

When I think of #7 it is Bert Jones. End of story. Even with the horrible performance out of Painter, when I think of # 7, it is Jones all day long. Painter should have never been issued # 7 to start with.

He was signed in late December last season

I'd like to see him build his own legacy with a number other than 12. Not only Brady has it, but Rodgers as well. But #12 is pretty much his persona already. How many fans out there have Luck #12 jerseys?

    • 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.
    • Let’s face it that third down catch against Baltimore in 2006 saved the game for us and loudest move on to play give me AFC championship game. He caught it in his elbow for a first down and we kick the subacute field goal which sealed the game. That is my favorite Dallas Clark moment, but watching him, catch the ball and run down the scene for chunk yards. It was amazing.
