And he's making more than Taylor !!!

 

Taylor when he found out

Angry Season 3 GIF by SuccessionHBO

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.

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

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)

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.

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.

And now Taylor is really boiling. 

 

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? :funny:

      This whole time I never knew you were from Fort Wayne, I always thought you lived in Indy lol… We love to visit the zoo when I make my inevitable pilgrimage to Sweetwater (I’m a rocker 🎸).    Yeah I think Rod takes the cake, but I understand why some would say Bob Griese for Indiana.    Side note, if you are into rock bands one of my favorite bands of all time is heading to Fort Wayne this fall: Rival Sons.

      The Big “What If”

      By RollerColt · Posted

      Believe it or not, but this hypothetical was a pretty real scenario for a while in the spring of 2012 before we let Manning go. Quite a bit of debate happened on this very idea.    In hindsight, I’d still have to say it was for the best for Peyton. I don’t think he would’ve made it to two more Super Bowls, let alone winning another one with us. Denver was stacked and primed. All they needed was a QB to guide them. We were the opposite. We needed a total rebuild.   As for Luck? I could see where him sitting would’ve benefited, but would he have learned to take less hits?    His rookie year was phenomenal. We went 11-5 and made the playoffs. At the time, it really felt like everything was working out for both Peyton and the Colts…

      The Big “What If”

      By Lucky Colts Fan · Posted

      What if, somehow, Jim Irsay had managed to successfully keep Peyton Manning and draft Andrew Luck?   I saw a graphic that compared how long ago every NFL team has started a rookie QB. Colts of course did it last year with Richardson. And with Luck. And with Manning.   Packers haven’t started a rookie QB since like the 80s.   Imagine if the Colts had let Luck learn from Peyton for at least a year or two, like Rodgers did with Favre.   Whether it was Polian, Grigson, or Ballard, let’s assume the staff could put together a team good enough for either QB to win. After all, the Grigson Colts with Luck beat the Manning Broncos. In the Playoffs.   But for the sake of argument, let’s say Irsay and whatever staff he chooses re-sign Manning, draft Luck, and then actually build an OLine to protect this thrice-in-a-lifetime QB passing-of-the-torch. Manning-to-Luck joining Favre-to-Rodgers and Montana-to-Young as the top-three greatest runs of QB play in the history of the NFL.   The careers of both Manning and Luck might have lasted longer with even more accolades. The 2010s coulda, shoulda, and woulda been the Colts decade.
