What are the numbers? I like Mack, seasons for RBs after an Achilles tear are not great though. But he is great in the locker room. And if he can just stay healthy I think he can do a lot of damage.

1 year, 2mil.
Amazing contract. If he doesn't get back to near his former self, no big loss.

If he does, HUGE implications for the Colts backfield.

Odds are against him on a Achilles tear. Still, not a bad contract. And he won’t be a work horse. I would probably expect a better showing in the second half of the season than the first.

I freakin love it. Not worried about the injury. That's what they pay the DR's for. If they're good I'm good.

I'm not the biggest Mack fan in the world but DAAAAAMN this backfield it gonna be LEGIT!!! Yea I know it is the same as last yr, but that's before we saw what JT could do!

Wentz may not have to throw a pass this yr. HAHA

Glad to see Colts sign Mack. Team has plenty of cap space and needs to start tapping inti it.

I like this for two reasons. First, it brings back a locker room guy at a good price, Second, it sends the message to other Colts players that when Ballard says he would like to bring you back, he is being honest (cough, TY, cough).

yeah shows a lot of good will from the colts and specifically ballard. from what I read mack stuck around for rehab and really helped the other RBs off field, in the film room, etc. I wonder how much he was involved in JTs epiphany that propelled him in the second half of the season. gives mack a chance to prove he is back to form and maybe get another contract somewhere while providing big upside to us if he does.

I like this signing for a number of reasons:

A. As stated, great locker room guy and mentor for JT.

B. Great price.

C. If healthy, I love a 1-2 punch of Taylor and Mack. Ideally, JT gets 20-25 touches a game and Mack gets 10-15 touches with Hines getting the rare carry but used perhaps more in a slot / move role.

D. If this pans out, then the pressure off of Wentz could be tremendous! An excellent ground game that can move the chains can take a ton of pressure off a QB to have to be "the guy" instead of just "a guy." Distribute the ball, take a shot down field but not have to worry about a dink and dunk game because the running game has GOT THIS.

E. The big uglies get to live their dream. "Run the damn ball!"
