Moe Allie Cox has been tearing it up in OTA's apparently. |

Nice catch. I was in a hurry writing my earlier post and just quickly scanned the roster looking at the end date of the current contracts. So it is not quite as dire, but it would be nice to extend Ebron or Doyle considering how much Reich likes to incorporate the position in the offense. Yeah, I read that, too. He will at least get some extra practice with the first unit while Ebron and Doyle recover / rehab from their surgeries. |

That’s ridiculous. There’s plenty of room for innovating everywhere, the NFL included. You’ve already been proven wrong after you argued last year that Ballard’s approach would lead us into 2-3 years of obscurity. So we had a few holes or weaknesses – what team doesn’t, particularly coming from where we did the year before? I notice you didn’t bring up the OL or the DBs – areas that I’m guessing (but can't recall specifically as I sit here) you were critical of last offseason. Regarding my casino analogy and the “Moneyball BS”, it’s obvious you don’t fully grasp those examples. Because “mathematical statistics” were involved in those examples, you think the underlying principles don’t have any application here. The more important lesson is that a seemingly slight advantage can make a big difference, and can be all that is needed to turn a loser into a winner. And if you maintain that slight advantage over a long period of time, you will continue to win for a long time as well. As for the purported hopelessness of trying to become a long term winner in the NFL, despite your suggestion otherwise teams have been doing that since the outset of the league. But you don’t do that by acting like every other team – you need to find inefficiencies and exploit them. That’s what the Colts are trying to do. I don't recall if you were one of the many who were critical of Ballard's 2018 draft, but so far he's proving your current theory wrong there as well. |

You've got that right. I don't have his gift of brevity, sorry.

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/indianap...-houston-7789/ Dam had it out with me a month or two ago about these bonuses (specifically the $1M bonus in 2020) and whether it is actually guaranteed, but other than the fact that it’s labeled “roster bonus” I don’t see anywhere to suggest that this isn’t fully guaranteed. I realize the term "roster bonus" implies otherwise, but according to Spotrac, his contract would have a dead cap value of $18.5 million if we cut him, so that appears to include both the 2020 roster bonus and the $3.5 million of the 2020 contract. Ultimately, we'd have to see the actual contract to resolve this dispute, but until then I'll go with Spotrac. |

It doesn't make sense to extend Doyle either since he's going to be over the hill.
More seriously along with that--any injury/concussion this season would make extending him possibly not in line value-wise with what the extension would be, based on his age. |

29 is now the new 60?

Doyle is the more important TE IMO, and the more difficult to replace. He does a lot of the little things that make the offense go. Kind of like a Rodman on the Bulls, just more likable. However, with his injury history resigning him would be a pretty big risk. I can see a draft pick replacement for him, also depending on how Cox’s blocking looks by the end of the season.

Considering I am referring to cap space and the cash floor it has nothing to do with this year since the space rolls over and nothing is lost if spent next season.
