Not for us as we’re not a contender by far, but crazy they couldn’t even make a trade?

No one wanted to take on his contract.  We were mentioned as one of the teams who could have taken it on.  Now he starts over.

There are people on this board that say the Colts are contenders.

Unfortunately, our optimism as Colts fans isn't necessarily representative of the rest of the league's opinion of our team. With the question mark at QB, most high-end FAs towards the end of their careers looking to get a ring before they retire won't be signing here.

Yeah I don't see any reason he would come here.

 

 

That's not because I have a bad outlook on how the season will play out.

 

I just think regardless how it plays out, we won't be a very efficient passing offense this year.

 

 

And we don't have the money to make that luxury splash signing.

Tanking for Caleb Williams mode actived haha. Imagine the Cards get both Caleb and Marv? Cards have the Texans first pick next season.

They aren't getting out of that Kyler Murray contract any time soon

They can get out of it next off-season.

 

Will take a big dead cap hit, but I'm sure they won't mind if moving forward with Williams and potentially another top 5- Top 10 pick.

 

PRE-6/1 TRADE:

2024 Dead Cap: $46,221,000

2024 Cap Savings: $5,636,000

 

POST-6/1 TRADE

2024 Dead Cap: $13,007,000

2025 Dead Cap: $33,214,000

2024 Cap Savings: $38,850,000

 

 

Would imagine they would do what they did this year with Hopkins(2023) and take all dead cap hit for Murray in 2024 and get it out of the way.

 

Cardinals could've waited another week and moved some of Hopkins dead cap to 2024, but elected to take the hit this year

 

If Murray is traded, his new cap hits for new team would be.

 

2024 - $38,850,000

2025 - $32,607,500

2026 - $42,542,500

2027 - $30,528,000

2028 - $33,343,000

 

Turn into a 5yr deal worth $177,872,000 with $65.2m guaranteed (a little more for injury)

 

Very manageable contract for the new team, if Kyler Murray is their kinda guy. $36.3 AAV

 

 

They can also release him and save some money in 2024 also, not much, and I'm sure they don't really care if they are moving on. Very unlikely here, though as $81,521,000 is a huge dead cap hit.

 

 

POST-6/1 RELEASE

2024 Dead Cap: $48,307,000

2025 Dead Cap: $33,214,000

2024 Cap Savings: $3,550,000

Teams have eaten the dead cap before. Falcons did it for Ryan. Commanders did it for Wentz.


Yup.   The Cardinals will be happy to get out from Murray.    One of the worst signings in recent memory.   He’s the opposite of what teams want at QB.   He’s a ME-first player at the ultimate team sport position.  
 

If it means a few years of difficult salary cap moves then so be it.   The team will get more good picks to build with along the way.

Why would anyone trade for that contract?  The expirament of kyler and Kingsbury didn't work out.   They are stuck

 

Desperate teams in need for a QB will pay anything. Ask the Browns. Also they don't have to take the whole contract. Teams have paid a portion of the contract in the past.

Visiting the Titans today.

 

 

Kinda feels like deja Vu.

 

Some people wanted to bring in Julio, we didn't.

 

He signs with Titans, we are worried that might come back to bite us. It didn't.

 

 

Still don't want Hopkins to sign in Tennessee though.

      The Colts are not Extending Ryan Kelly for now

      By NewColtsFan · Posted

      To me, it’s also a non- story, but for a different reason.     Because Ryan Kelly, classy guy that he is, has chosen to make it a non-story.  No complaining.  No running to the media to try to generate sympathy.   No hold out OR hold in where you show up but tell the team you won’t practice without a new contract.   He could’ve done any of them.  He chose to do none of them.     I think Kelly is a classy guy.  easy to see why he’s voted a team captain, and I think the union rep.  I also think the Colts under Ballard are filled with classy guys who are easy to root for.  Honestly, it one of the biggest reasons I’ve stuck around since Luck retired.  It’s a fun team to cheer for.    So I like the team, the coaches,  the front office, the owner and the city.   Hope to make it to Indy one day to meet as many of you as I can.

      No worries.   Wasn’t making fun of you.  If I had one dollar for every brain cramp moment I’ve posted here, I’d be rich!      It’s all good.

      I'm very interested in Carlie's as well.  I'm just not sold on our starting LB core.

      Yeah North.....maybe I got confused about the Pittsburgh Pirates playing in the central.  But I think before realignment there were only 3 divisions, I think.. Like the Colts and Dolphins played in the East, the Raiders and Broncos played in the West and the Steelers and Brownies played in the Central.  But yeah my mistake the Steelers currently in the North division.
