David Carr predicted the Texans will win in week one. Granted, the Colts stink in opening season games but.............I have not heard who starts at QB Mills or Allen. I'm guessing Allen.

Mills is the Houston starter.   And he had a very good rookie season.

Need balance.... Need creative passing..... 

Balance was ugly vs Houston (JT, 32 attempts)

 

And more seam, L2, and L3..... and a little tricks...

Interesting that the Colts worked out 4 players over the weekend and all 4 of them are running backs.

It is possible, the article I read identified them all as RB's. Which one is the CB?

Must not have gotten any offers to be rostered anywhere else. It is good to know we have him for depth since we a rolling with three RB's on the main roster.

[Bolt Colt]

Wonder why they let him go to begin with?.......

Darren Evans is the CB.

If any of you subscribe to the Athletic make sure you read this on Matt Ryan. Players basically dissing Wentz without saying his name. Zak Keefer is really a good story teller and this is written so well.

Im sorry most here won’t be able to read it because they don’t have a subscription.   It would make EVERYONE feel better if they could.   A great read.  Thanks for posting this….

We haven’t had this clean of a injury report to start the season for a couple of years. Lol. Dennis Kelly hasn’t practiced at all. It’s weird he wasn’t placed on IR or something.  But good he was finally limited and practiced.

Kind of makes me sad we didn’t end up with Winston this offseason. The entertainment would of been fun.

It was a joke because Winston is so entertaining in pressers. He would of kept us laughing.

[John Waylon]

Did anyone bother to tell him it was a “done deal” that he was signing with us? I don’t think he got the memo. 

[Four2itus]

From a fan on TexansTalk................

 

"What’s the hype around this Jonathan Taylor guy. I see he made the top 20 on the top 100 list. Never really paid attention to him but hopefully Texans can hold him under 100 yards."

Umm...

 

Game 1 last year, JT had 14 carries, 145 yards, 2 TDs (plus a big rip for 83 yards)

Game 2 last year, JT had 32 carries, 143 yards, 2 TDs

 

Is this willful ignorance? Selective memory?

After last night's showing by the Rams we are probably his first choice now.  He wants to win another Super Bowl.  If we put a beat down on the Texans that should seal the deal.  Maybe.  lol

He's all about $$$. He will wait it out and pimp himself to the best team that offers him the most $$$. He's over hyped,older and injury prone.

Still hope they sign him at some point this season.

Will post this here as well, as there are a lot of threads at the moment. Don't want it to get lost in all the action.

Contract Notes

Quote

Quenton Nelson signed a four year contract extension worth $80 million with the Colts on September 10, 2022. Per PFT, Nelson received a $31 million signing bonus and $60 million in guarantees. Nelson's 2022 and 2023 salaries are fully guaranteed at signing and his 2024 salary of $19 million is fully guaranteed if he is on the roster on the 5th day of the 2023 league year. Nelson will earn $2 million as a roster bonus in 2025 and 2026 if he is on the roster on the 5th day of the league year.

So looks something like this:

2022 - $4m base, $6.2 SB - $10.2m cap hit(save around $4.5m this season)

2023 - $6m base, $6.2m SB - $12.2m

2024 - $19m base, $6.2m SB - $25.2m

2025 - $14,563,059 base, $6.2m SB, $2m RB - $22,763,059

2026 - $16m base, $6.2m SB, $2m RB - $24.2m

 

 

5yrs - $94,563,059

 

 

This is actually a great setup for the Colts. Nelson big cap hot doesn't hit until cap is up by almost $50m.

 

Should be close to $9m left in cap space this season.

Thanks for doing this.   What the colts did here, they’ve not done before under Ballard.  Restructure the final year of the rookie deal, give out a big signing bonus, and have smaller numbers on a year to year basis.   And at the same time, create extra cap space for the team. 
 

This wasn’t done with either Leonard or Smith or Hines.   Interesting to see them take a different approach here.

He will have to do kind of things if he wants to be "all in now". He will need cap space to continue to bring in key players to boltster our team for now or next year.

[Zoltan]

Looks like the Colts worked out two Kickers Lambo and Wright
