As my first post, I should introduce myself - My name is Sean Deardorff, avid Bills fan (I know) living in San Diego, CA, currently contemplating a Bills/Chargers bi-polar custom jersey. I run two small businesses and work at a private equity firm in La Jolla, CA where I am grossly overpaid to do menial things.

The Colts made a wise decision choosing Luck as number 1 overall. He's the only chance to quickly replace Manning. Whether that comes to be will depend on Luck's chutzpah, really.

Lastly, I am not an authoritarian, so I largely have a difficult time understanding rules. The following is an affiliate link. My startup affiliate marketing company focuses on doing everything the right way at thebigbargainbin.com. If the link constitutes a violation of forum rules (I don't believe it does because I'm not directly selling merchandise nor anything besides the idea of giving away the majority of our commissions to local non-profits and I doubt one reasonably placed link would put a dent in the Colts.com affiliate revenue), I would kindly ask our mods to simply edit this message to include all non-offending material (the intro and draft pick comment) and kill the rest via a delete button :)

Good luck in the 2012-2013 season Indy!

    • How the heck did I miss that?! Wow
    • It is fact. You do understand where the money to pay player salaries and such comes from right? I mean it’s right there in the CBA…   the league basically places the money in an escrow account every year directly from the league, which is a portion of the revenue set aside for player salaries from the leagues various sources(tv deals for example). It never touches the owners pockets first.  Jim Irsay could have only 10 cents in his account and it wouldn’t matter when it comes to player salaries.  yes, guaranteed monies and such have to be put in upfront but if you read the fine print, that money is basically reimbursed the to the team the year it’s paid out. So 2025 guarantees would be paid back to the team in 2025 from the player salaries fund.    and yes, I’ve linked it every year for the past 5-6 years. Ever since the beginning of the Ballard era, which seems to be when this notion of Irsay not having cash for this or that came up as a rationale for not signing big name FA. It’s not though when one actually looks up how that all works. 
    • Looking at OTC now.  Seems like we may have around 10-12M cap space left to go after players in FA.  Do the Colts sign I player or break it down to a few small signings.  Still seeing who is available and limited on time.  Still am high on WR Quez Watkins and seeing the Dolphins are also interested in him.  Watkins played under Shane and figured he would be one of his targets in FA.     Both SS, assuming Cross is the starter, but FS is main focus and probably in the draft.   Not sold one too many true FS from college and sure you seen prior post about how slow these CBs are and a move to FS probably best for their career in the NFL.  Especially Khyree Jackson who has a lot of the overall skill set of Cooper DeJean and might be a viable option later in the draft.     
    • I’d like Crossby!   I really like Mitchell, but I just don’t see more youth being a good thing for our CB room. Even if the Sneed thing is made up I still think we should go for a vet.    I hope we can get Cooper in the 2nd. I’d prefer a WR (or Bowers) at 15, but right now I think we’re looking at DE.    Powers-Johnson looks greats, but of all the things we could do I think OL is probably the least likely at 15.    Lots of needs. Safety is probably the biggest, but I don’t think any of them are worth the 15th overall.
