stitches Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Thought we could use a thread where to discuss various news and rumors about Colts and general NFL free agency.... 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshinator Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 @stitchesThanks for creating this thread. I thought about creating one around 15 mins ago and got sidetracked. I'm just hoping we get a couple players today. I don't want to fall behind the 8-ball before FA officially starts when a lot of the valuable players are signed in theory today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this makes up 17.2M we can save if we cut him or trade him before the 17th... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColtsGermany Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Hate to see Okereke sign elsewhere. Leonard seems like one injury away from retirement. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I wonder what is there to decide with Ryan at this point? He won't take a pay cut to be a backup. He won't retire. What are they truly waiting for? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much money into Leonard put us in this position. Unless you are the captain of the D and play MLB, you rarely see that kind of money thrown around to weakside LBs. At this point, we just hope Leonard can play all games of the season without any major setbacks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s really no point in releasing him now as you gain nothing 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt is such a pro's pro that we may wait until the last second. One thing about being a GM I would hate is cutting someone, especially a player that was once great. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Peyton Manning can be released, anyone can be cut. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but everyone knew it was coming (Peyton at the time had neck issues as well) and we had Luck waiting at #1. Irsay also paid Peyton his full salary.

TaylorStillTruckedYou Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Okereke will be missed... worrisome to think we are at the bottom for available cap with this team to show for it. Still hoping for a mini rebuild without going into a full out one 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we can trade Matt to the Commanders for a 6th round pick and they will take his contract, they need a QB. After all they took Wentz off our hands (sarcasm) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Posted March 13, 2023 Share Posted March 13, 2023 Yeah, we know we’ll have to cut him. He’s just not going to retire and have to pay back some of his signing bonus. If there’s no advantage to cutting him now rather than later, maybe he’s just additional obfuscation for our qb situation. Never want everyone to know your plans, or they’ll tell Frank Reich… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has the connection with Steichen from the Eagles and he fills a need at RG. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope Ballard releases him before FA then, otherwise we'll be putting ourselves at a disadvantage with significantly less cap space available. I don't see the point in keeping him until the 17th unless you believe those two days could be the difference between cutting him or him retiring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
