Irishman Posted May 8 Posted May 8 How bad is it when the team is better off just cutting you rather than trading? I get it's likely no one bit on any trade offers, but damn; adjust what you are askingfor in return??? Quote

I think the problem with Moore is that a team would have had to pick up his $9.5M salary this season....unless the Colts were willing to pay a portion not to have him on the roster. I don't think any team was willing to pay that amount, and correct me if I am mistaken, but he's been released for a week with no one jumping in to date..... Quote
Muda69 Posted June 17 Author Posted June 17 Biggest question for the Colts in the upcoming season is the health of it's star and Jonathon Taylor's contract: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/columnists/gregg-doyel/2026/06/17/colts-2026-nfl-season-daniel-jones-achilles-alec-pierce-ankle-jonathan-taylor-contract/90523636007/ Quote The landmines for the 2026 Indianapolis Colts are there, buried in some cases, right out in the open in others. And in one case the landmine sits there innocently, concealed by a big smile and hopeful words, but there nonetheless. We’ve seen it detonate before. Will it explode again, and sabotage another Colts season? The Colts’ margin for error for the 2026 NFL season is tight, as it has been every year since Andrew Luck retired in August 2019, but we’ve never seen this franchise enter a season where the margin between success and failure feels so precarious, so ominous. The issue is the Colts’ personnel, of course, but not in the classic sense. It’s not about an unproven cornerback like Justin Walley being asked to handle a major role, or about veteran receivers (Ashton Dulin, Laquon Treadwell) being asked to do more than they’ve ever shown they can. It’s not about fourth-round 2025 NFL Draft pick Jalen Travis replacing Braden Smith at right tackle. It’s much, much scarier than that. It’s three of the team’s biggest stars – QB1 Daniel Jones, WR1 Alec Pierce and defensive leader DeForest Buckner – returning from major surgeries. It’s a fourth player, cornerback Charvarius Ward, returning from three concussions. And it’s a fifth player, the best of them all, entering the final year of his current contract and already lobbying publicly for his next one. Remember what happened the last time running back Jonathan Taylor wanted a new deal? The Colts have entered the quiet phase of their offseason, the month-long wait for the start of training camp at Grand Park in Westfield, and the quiet doesn’t feel refreshing. It feels dangerous, the gentle wind that blows shortly before the tornado arrives. ... The injury recovery stuff is what it is. Colts management can't do much about it. But this Taylor contract issue could blow up in their face real fast. I hope they pay him what he's worth. Quote

Taylor has been quietly confident, playing out his role in Colts training camp while other star running backs in search of a contract extension, Atlanta’s Bijan Robinson and Detroit’s Jahymr Gibbs, sat out practices in search of a new deal. But the Colts have been through the turmoil of a public negotiation with their superstar back before, and this time has been the opposite. Taylor opened training camp by acknowledging negotiations with Indianapolis, professing faith that the team would work toward his goal of playing his entire career in Indianapolis. Taylor agreed to terms on a two-year, $44 million contract extension on Thursday morning, a league source told IndyStar, two days after Robinson signed a three-year deal worth $66.75 million to become the highest-paid running back in the NFL. Taylor’s $22 million-per-year average on his new deal makes him the second-highest-paid running back behind Robinson, although Gibbs is likely to surpass that mark whenever he signs in Detroit. .... A well deserved extension for the Colts best offensive player. 1 Quote
PHJIrish Posted August 14 Posted August 14 Anthony Richardson continues to be so inconsistent. He has all the tools but seems to be unable to put 'em all together! Maybe it's just the fact that, for various reasons, mostly injuries, he hasn't had much time on the field! Watching the Colts preseason game was not time well spent. Too many turnovers and not much flow, but as Allen Iverson once said, "it's just practice!" Lots of those who played last night will not be on the field during the regular season. Some of the defenders, however, were quite impressive. Not much to take,overall, from last night's scrimmage. Quote
PHJIrish Posted August 23 Posted August 23 It sure looks like the Colt starters better stay healthy this season. The Falcons non starters had their way yesterday. Quote
Muda69 Posted September 1 Author Posted September 1 Nice pickup by the Colts: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/indianapolis-colts-player-keenan-allen-arrested-ovwi-charges/ Quote Indianapolis Colts player Keenan Allen was arrested early Sunday for driving under the influence, police said. Allen, 34, was taken into custody in Indiana's capital city after officers "noticed signs of intoxication" while conducting a traffic investigation at around 1 a.m. local time, according to the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department. The investigation initially stemmed from a parking violation, as police said Allen's car had stopped in a no-parking zone in the city's downtown area. When officers spoke to Allen, who was the driver, they suspected he was intoxicated and investigated further. .... 1 Quote

Muda69 Posted 8 hours ago Author Posted 8 hours ago More on Mr. Allen's DUI: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2026/09/16/colts-wr-keenan-allen-formally-charged-dui-suspected-elevated-blood-alcohol-level/91788060007/ Quote Veteran Colts wide receiver Keenan Allen has been formally charged 17 days after he was arrested in downtown Indianapolis on suspicion of driving under the influence. Allen has been charged with operating a vehicle with an alcohol concentration equivalent (ACE) of 0.15 or more, a Class A misdemeanor, and operating a vehicle while intoxicated, a Class C misdemeanor. A Class A misdemeanor can lead to being imprisoned up to 1 year and/or fined no more than $5,000; a Class C misdemeanor can result in being imprisoned for no more than 60 days with a fine of no more than $500. The 34-year-old Colts receiver was initially charged the morning of his arrest with DWI/DUI/OWI with an ACE of 0.08 or more and DWI/DUI/OWI endangering a person. According to the probable cause affidavit for Allen's charging viewed by IndyStar, Sgt. Austin Hedden of the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department viewed a white Nissan car drive to the curb and park on the west side of Meridian St. just south of Maryland St. at approximately 1 a.m. just in front of a meter with a "No Parking" sign attached to it. The officer exited his marked police car to speak with the driver -- later identified as Allen -- to inform them that they were unable to park in the aformentioned spot and would need to move his vehicle. Allen opened the driver's side door of his car to speak with the officer, and it was then, according to the probable cause affidavit, that Allen had "extremely slurred spech and glossy eyes." Allen was asked to exit the vehicle. The officer observed Allen to have a a strong odor of alchohol on his breath. Hedden notified Lt. Gary Smith of the incident, and the latter provided a portable breath test. Hedden asked Allen if he would submit to the test, to which Allen agreed. After two unsuccessful attempts due to being short-winded, Allen finally triggered a successful one that read an ACE of .224 at 1:22 a.m., according to the probable cause affidavit -- nearly three times the legal limit. Allen was placed in handcuffs and transported to the Marion County Community Justice Campus for further investigation. There, Officer Michael Cheh took Allen through a standardized field sobriety test, during which he exhibited "bloodshot and watery eyes" and "slightly unsteady balance when standing still," according to the probable cause affidavit. Allen multiple times failed to step heel-to-toe, required use of his arms to balance and swayed during a one-legged stand, and it was then Allen consented to a blood draw performed at 2:08 a.m. Allen was then formally arrested and booked into the Marion County Jail and released later that afternoon. Allen, through his attorney, waived his initial hearing set to take place Wednesday morning and Marion County Magistrate Judge David Hooper set a $500 cash bond, which was paid Sept. 15, according to online court records. An attorney conference is now set for late October. Allen largely declined to comment on his arrest when speaking to the media four days after the incident Sept. 3, beyond acknowledging he had spoken with team decision-makers, as well as his teammates, to address it. “Because it’s an ongoing legal matter, we’re not going to discuss it,” he said. “I’m just focused on football and being a good teammate.” ... Allen’s arrest came on roster cut-down day, but the Colts made clear that they planned to keep the veteran receiver through the off-the-field noise. Under the NFL’s collectively bargained policy on substance abuse, the punishment for a first-time offense involving alcohol is a three-game suspension, but the policy also states players can face increased discipline if the charges involve “aggravating circumstances” including “extreme intoxication” (which the NFL defines as an ACE of 0.15 or more). Discipline for a second alcohol-related offense, absent additional aggravating circumstances, trigger an eight-game suspension, according to the policy. ... In recent years, the NFL has shown in similar cases that it won’t impose any punishment until the legal proceedings have concluded – a process which can often take nine months or more, meaning Allen may very well skirt a suspension that could affect this current season, pending the timeframe and circumstances around the ongoing legal matters. Colts general manager Chris Ballard told reporters earlier this month that Allen had faced internal discipline. “I'm not going to comment on what happened, but what I'm going to tell you is good people make mistakes," Colts general manager Chris Ballard said. "He's a tremendous human being. Give him some grace, and he'll work through the process of the legal system. "Fourteen years in the league with no issues," Ballard said. "Decorated career, decorated teammate. As you know, our relationship with Philip Rivers, Philip holds him in extremely high regard, and Shane was with him, and after you meet his mom and dad, amazing people. ... Unequivocally feel good about who Keenan Allen is." .... Quote
PHJIrish Posted 21 minutes ago Posted 21 minutes ago Only one word to describe the Colts loss to the Ravens, PITIFUL! I could not believe they were only a 3.5 point underdog last Sunday, and they're only a 6.5 point 'dog at Kansas City Sunday night! I almost wish I was a gambler! Quote
