The problem with that is that Evan Engram hasn't beem an impact TE. He came in with extremely high upside, but he has only really had 1 solid season in his career so far. On the plus side, he only had 3 drops last season instead of the 8 or 11 in prior seasons.

That & it makes the Kyler Granson pick questionable.

My guess also.  You’re going to overpay.  We get outbidded every year

The over-bidding sets the market value. So, you're not gonna get a cheaper option by waiting for next year. The market is set and it'll go up.

 

You only get a cheaper option by choosing to pay for a player that hasn't yet shown that they are deserving that type of money.

 

I agree that if we are getting outbid for players that we may want, then Ballard needs to change his approach. However, I think it's more likeley that he hasn't even swung the bat yet.

they can have Kirk for 4 years and $84 million.  He was someone I wanted but not for $21 a year.

It is 'up to' but its still ridiculous. Also I imagine guarantees aren't that high. But its going to make it harder to sign any other FA WR .

We say that every year and the prices keep going up. The first problem with the current strategy of CB is that we never add any impact players via FA. The second problem is those players go to our AFC competitors. Guess who are the finalists for Robinson? Kansas City and Cleveland. Cleveland is loading up....the Colts are imploding! Its not hard to predict how this is going to turn out.

i agree but you don’t give that money to THAT quality of receiver.  I don’t mind overpaying for talent that’s worth it.  But Kirk getting paid that much is a HUGE overpay.  This is one of the reasons why prices go up.

 

now if he doesn’t play up to $21 mill standards, we would be the first people to want the GM gone.

 

this is why Byron wanted Baalke GONE lol

      2023 Week #14 All Around the NFL game thread

      By GoColts8818 · Posted

      Yet it was a clear foul.  Not calling it decides the game against the Bills.  You can’t just ignore clear penalties to let “players decide games”.  If the Chiefs don’t like it there is an easy solution.  Don’t line up offsides.   Last week KC was up in arms about fouls that weren’t called (ignoring they got a free 15 yards for a hit out of bounds that didn’t happen to kick start their drive).  Now they are whining about one that was called.  They can’t have it both ways.  Either let them play or call it.  They aren’t calling for one or the other which tells me they are just upset they didn’t get calls to go their way.

      Mahomes said in his post press conference this is the 1st time in his career that penalty call has been made against any snap he has took. Let that sink in. We are talking 6 years+ . The REFS are complete poop this year. They need to start letting the players decide games because they are ruining the NFL. As a diehard football fan since 1977 and a diehard Colts fan since 1984, people don't realize how close I was to just boycotting watching after the Browns game. I was so close. I am still not over that game to be honest because we flat out got cheated and everyone knows it but ignores it. We should be 8-5 and if that was the case, we would have a 80% of making the playoffs. As of now we are at 50%.

      I am not going to be a smart aleck here and I am posting this to be funny in reference to how some judge our QB's to opposing teams QB's. According to some people's logic in here, doesn't this make Zach Wilson better than CJ Stroud? I am just letting some people in here know how silly they sound when they down AR or Minshew in comparison to others. Stats and a win in a 1 game situation say, give me Zachery all day
