And now Taylor is really boiling.

Glad to see they avoided Rhodes "holding in"

Did he $16 mil a year?

The Colts should offer him $6.465m over 4 years then lol.

Maybe they were further down the Rhodes with him than JT.

Congratulations to Luke Rhodes and family!!

 

Great move by the front office to keep our special teams unit in tact for the next few years!!

The NFL's highest paid long snapper and highest paid free kicker ever, now both making more than Taylor.

 

That doesn't concern me too much, but I'd much rather have wide receivers and cornerbacks worthy of being paid among the highest at their positions.

[throwing BBZ]

 

 Couldn't be more excited.

Only gonna make me enjoy his long snaps that much more.

Not more per year.  I think that amount is over 3 years.  He had 1 year left and they added 3 more years.

WTH is going on... why do we have Guards and kickers and long snappers as the highest paid in the league

They don't have the top paid Guard or the top paid kicker(this year or AAV). $1.54m is top paid LS this season currently, he might pass that number. He was 12th highest paid LS prior to deal.

 

Lindstrom>Nelson(4th highest paid Guard this year) (2nd in AAV)

Tucker>Gay(11th highest paid kicker this year)(2nd in AAV)

I’m just here for the comments…..🍿

Yeah hope they take care of the practice squad. I wouldn’t want someone to hold out from that group.

2 superbowls confirmed 

[GoColts8818]

But the Colts won four games…

 

in all seriousness this is the equivalent of pocket change to NFL teams to keep one of the best in the league at his position (he was all pro in 2021).  Good deal.

$1.61m AAV

 

$500k over league minimum, not a big deal at all.

 

Really just getting him some guaranteed money. Had none on his current deal. Solid score for him, to secure one last bag in his career.

In the real world, it’s still a ton of money to snap a football and not get hit.

You think the long snapper doesn’t get hit?   Really?    Seriously?    
 

OK, I didn’t see that response coming.

Rhodes is not making more than Taylor.   Gay is, but not by a lot.   
 

FWIW,  Taylor makes $4.3m this year.

Gay is only making $3.08m this year, against the cap. He does get $9.08m cash in pocket this season though.

Thanks for the accurate 411. 

Im sure you understand….   I was only going by the Ave Per Year, which I thought was $5.6m.   I think Gay’s deal is roughly 4/22+.   But on a year by year basis, your way is even more accurate.     Thanks again.

Maybe not...... maybe the Colts, JT, and his future team all know the outcome of this saga and all parties involved are satisfied with it? 

 

Some think  the games are scripted like that NFL commercial joking about it..... So if the season is, why not the off season too?

Because the players they draft at the premium positions didn't amount to much and they had 7 years to do it!!!
