P:

You are missing the 4 Exclusive Rights Free Agents.

They have all received one year contract extensions.

They are:

S Trevor Denbow
LB Segun Olubi
LB Cameron McGrone
CB Darrell Baker Jr.


Also, I am fairly certain that the Colts have always designated Zavier Scott as a RB although I think he played a few different positions in college.

To me, Pittman, Moore and Blackman are NEED TO BE SIGNED. Grover Stewart should be signed, but he's over 30 and his best years may be behind him, so he is a want, not a need.

As for cuts, a serious look at the future health of Kelly is warranted, that's a lot of money if he can only play half a season again. I'd also consider a serious look at MAC. He's talented, but inconsistent. And Dulin???

But if a player goes to IR, they still get their full season salary and still has the associated cap hit.

So, you need new money in order to bring a player up from the practice squad to the active roster.

A rookie on the practice squad for the full season will make $302,400 for the 18-week season.

Minimum salary for a rookie on the active roster is $795,000 in 2024.

That additional money has to be accounted for because injuries will happen.

Great catch! I did indeed miss them.

Separate discussion, I know. But Baker should never wear a Colts uniform again.

So, are you saying that every player counts, even player 52/53, and practice squad players?

With how the current roster is constructed losing MPJ would be a devastating blow to the team. If we were drafting in the top 10 and able to replace him with either Nabers or Odunze it might be worth the risk to let him walk. But we're not, so we really need to do everything we can to re-sign MPJ since at best we're looking at one of the 2nd tier WRs backfilling him.
